A copy of this document, which has also been drawn up in accordance with the Companies Acts 1931 to 1993 of the Isle of Man, having attached thereto the consent referred to in paragraph 11.7 of Part IV of this document and copies of the material contracts referred to in paragraph 7 of Part IV of this document, has, in addition, been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in the Isle of Man for registration in accordance with Section 38 of the Companies Act 1931.

Mr C Well, as a younger person I wasn’t terribly interested in politics but I was very interested in the Isle of Man and the Manxness of the place and it all came about through reading a book, as a small child, in the 1930s, called, ‘From King Orry to Queen Victoria.’ And here was a whole new history, because at school we were taught English history, we were taught about William the Conqueror, Henry VIII, and people like that, we weren’t taught anything about the Isle of Man.
