Galway (091) 37503 Editorial Things are happening in Kinvara. Flea na gCuach has arrived. The under 21 team have set a great example for others to follow. The ladies hockey team brought home the O'Heocha cup once again. The entrance to St. Josephs church has been illuminated. The congregational church choir from Connecticut has come and gone, but its renowned director, Paul Halley, intends bringing his highly acclaimed childrens choir, Chorus Angelicus, here. Cruinniu na inBad is on its way. An all out effort is being made in the Tidy Towns competition this year. The Credit Union is expanding rapidly. The Bridge Club and Swimming Club continue to grow. The Kinvara National School extension is being built. Community Alert has been established. And Tracht has arrived! We apologise for the long delay in getting this edition to you. We hope you consider it has been worth waiting for. Articles, ideas, constructive criticism and, above all, offer of help to publish the next edition will be most welcome. We are a community where new ideas are born and tried. The Community Council wishes to encourage everyone to be open to new ways of looking at life. We grow through taking some risks. Your Community Council is, perhaps, the best forum for bringing together all the different strands of thought and opinion that are in the locality. Why not let your ideas be heard? We need to promote more substanstial all-year-round employment. Tourism offers some potential in that regard, but there are other areas, also, where jobs might be created. Our community motto should be repeated by us all a few times a day - Ar aghaidh le cheile!

  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.
