NB: No September Edition Copy deadline for the October issue: Monday, 12th September Boothy’s Bit I am writing this on a lovely summer’s morning the day following my return from the 14th Dolomites Sky Race. IT SNOWED—so much that the race route had to be altered. I don’t wish to hear any complaints about what a rotten summer East Lancashire has suffered. I travelled out to Italy in my camper. Several other members: Andy Firth, Peter & Jack Dugdale, David Bagot, Ivan Whigham, plus Michael Toman (Rossendale interloper) flew out for a week of fun and frolics. Full report in a later Newsletter. Annual General Meeting Amazingly, it’s that time of year again. The club’s AGM takes place at 8.00pm on Thursday, 25th August at Nelson Cricket Club. The AGM will be preceded by the traditional Club 5K track race at Seedhill, next door to the cricket club. There will be a junior race (distance depends on age) at 6.45pm, before the seniors tackle 12 1/2 laps at 7.00pm. If you are not inclined to run, come to support (or help with the lap counting, which becomes increasingly tricky as runners are lapped). The present holders of the following Committee positions have indicated that they will not be seeking re-election at the Meeting: • Men’s XC Captain • Ladies’ Fell Captain. As I pointed out last month, Katy’s decision to stand down from the post of Ladies’ Fell Captain means that we now have NO ladies’ captains. The club really needs 3 female members to volunteer as captains. Please don’t think that the Committee is a ‘closed shop’. All Committee positions are up for election at the AGM. If you would like to stand for any position, especially those mentioned above, please ask another Clayton member to send a nomination to the Secretary prior to the meeting. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor on the evening of the Meeting. In addition to the election of club officials, captains and committee members, the Committee will recommend that we recognise the service of 3 members by electing them to the position of Honorary Member. In relation to this, the Annual General Meeting will be asked to consider amendments to the Club Constitution that clarify Honorary and Life Membership, plus changes that are needed in order to meet the requirements of Her Majesty’s Customs and Revenue with regard to the Club’s application for Community Sports Club status. Please try to attend this important meeting. Annual Subscriptions Annual subscriptions are due on 1st September each year. With this newsletter, you should receive a Subscription Renewal Reminder. If you set up a Standing Order last year, you need not fill in another, unless you are changing your membership category. However, our Membership Secretary, Mike Eddleston would be grateful if you would check your personal details and amend them, where necessary— especially phone number, mobile number and email address. It’s amazing how often Club officials or captains have difficulties in contacting members by phone, mobile or email, because they have not been informed of changes. 100 Club The 100 Club was established to generate extra income for the Club and has run successfully for many years. As its name implies, the aim is that 100 Club members pledge £1 per month, which enters them into a monthly draw (prize £50; £100 at Christmas). At the time of writing, fewer than 50 members are signed up the 100 Club, meaning that it is no longer covering its outgoings. Unless more members come forward and subscribe very soon, the Committee will have no choice but to wind up the 100 Club. If you would like to subscribe to our 100 Club, please contact Peter Billington (details p14). Club Championship, Fell Runner of the Year and Summer Series • The Club Championship Road Race (Burnley Boys’ Club 10K) took place on 12th June. CleM provided nearly half the field (41 out of 101 runners). You can work out the 2011 Club Road Champions from the results on p29. The list of Overall Club Champions will be published in the next edition of the Harrier. • Current standings in the Fell Runner of the Year completion are on p17. I have published the names of members who had completed a minimum of 6 races by 30th June. • The first of the Summer Series, the Worsthorne Trail Race was held on Tues 28th June. Results on p18. Please Note: Owing to holidays and my organising the Thieveley Pike Fell Race (details p25), there will be no September edition of the Harrier. See you in October. …...and Finally If you have a schedule for an Bob Graham Round (anti-clockwise) Mike Wallis would like to receive a copy.

So 2011 was my opportunity, with the base of good winter training aided by long runs recce’ing and supporting Jean’s BG training. The deterioration in general weather conditions after the glorious clear days of April meant I was never going to get the ideal clear conditions I’d hoped for, but at least it wasn’t going to be too hot! 8.00am found Jack, Steve and me starting on the run from a fine and dry Pooley Bridge. I was glad that the tops to Red Crag were clear but then the cloud came down and was to stay until Steel Fell. Most of the route was head on into a strong wind and there was little shelter behind either Jack or Steve. I’d set an 11hr schedule and we dropped into Kirkstone slightly ahead, with only a minor deviation to find Stony Cove Pike. It was great to be met by Kath and Maureen, Monica, Colin and Eileen. Andy Orr and Simon Thompson were ready for the next section, a climb up Red Screes and the potentially tricky route across to Hart Crag. Andy got it spot on and we arrived at Dunmail 10 minutes up. Kath and Martin were also here to add their support. After writing down the splits at the previous peaks and a short break, I was away and up the short climb of Steel Fell led by Andy Brown and Dave Nuttall, where we were met by Katy. I struggled up to High Raise and from the cairn we could see the dark clouds right down over the fells ahead of us, as the wind began to strengthen.

    Globalising the Haitian Revolution in Black Paris: C.L.R. James, metropolitan anti- imperialism in interwar France and the writing of The Black Jacobins Author details Christian Høgsbjerg (University of Brighton) School of Humanities (Pavilion Parade), University of Brighton, 10-11 Pavilion Parade, Brighton, BN2 1RA [email protected] 07817 717816 Abstract This article will focus on the black Trinidadian Marxist historian C.L.R. James and how his exposure to French as part of his colonial education and sojourns and researches in interwar France shaped the writing of his anti-colonial classic, the monumental account of the Haitian Revolution, The Black Jacobins (1938), which not only helped ‘globalise’ that revolution but also the French Revolution. Much of James’s archival research was undertaken in France, yet James also engaged with contemporary French revolutionary historiography and metropolitan anti-imperialism in ‘Black Paris’ outside of the archives, and he met many critical Francophone Pan-Africanist figures including Léon-Gontran Damas, Tiémoko Garan Kouyaté and Auguste Nemours. This article will explore such intellectual relationships and Pan-Africanist networks and examine how they illuminate wider issues relating to empire, race and resistance in France during the 1930s, amidst a context of economic crisis and the rise of the ‘Popular Front’ government.

  • The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword

    English Chess Federation The Official Chess Yearbook 2010 Foreword I played chess actively for a decade, racking up hundreds of games every year. Although my fanatical playing days are behind me, the welfare of chess, both in England and internationally, is still an overriding passion for me. After my election in 2009, I was determined to use the ECF Presidency as a force for good throughout the chess community. My predecessor Gerry Walsh made enormous advances in promoting the English game and its players all over the world and I hope to be able to continue this work. However, it is no secret that the domestic situation has deteriorated recently and this will be the focus of my attention. England is still a significant chess power and I believe the casual attitude of merely 'punching above our weight' is no longer relevant. The stunning successes of the Staunton Memorial and the London Chess Classic proved the country is capable of staging magnificent world class events and it is essential we build on this in the coming years. We have an amazing array of wonderfully talented players, at every level of the game, and their passion and enthusiasm can only be inspiring for those that work to enhance the situation for chess. I cannot promise miracles but I will promise to listen to any individual, club, league or tournament that has anything to say. I am travelling extensively to meet people, within the chess community, government and business, to establish relationships which can be used in order to further the ambitions of the ECF and its members.

    Parks Proposal Arising from the Pendle Meeting at Colne Town Hall: a Scoping Meeting Took Place on Monday 20Th June Chaired by Cllr

    Parks Proposal Arising from the Pendle Meeting at Colne Town Hall: A scoping meeting took place on Monday 20th June chaired by Cllr. Greaves relating to the future funding of park and playing field maintenance. Cllr. Greaves reported the borough council’s position which included the expected reduction of £4million pounds over the next three years, which would necessitate cutbacks or new methods of working at least two of the four of the council’s major expenditure areas. The one’s that were being explored this year was parks which has an expenditure budget of around £750,000 a year and The Leisure Trust which is currently subsidised annually to the tune of £1.5 million. Measures are underway to look at more efficient ways of providing Leisure services including possible private/public options. The meeting concentrated on the parks and playing fields with Cllr. Greaves stressing that no decisions had yet been made but overall costs to Pendle needed to be significantly reduced, but Pendle had no wish to see the quality or number of parks reduced but that the status quo was not an option. Cllr. Greaves that it was likely that in future years Pendle would be amalgamated into a larger authority and that the local history of why Pendle had so many parks in comparison with other local authorities would be lost with only the perceived sense of overprovision is retained. In the notes circulated to Clerks by P. Mousdale in relation to Barrowford including approximate costings for Barrowford Memorial Park, Bullholme Playing Field and Victoria Park six different possible scenarios for future park maintenance.
