Ellie Kildunne (11-16) England Womens Rugby 2017 Made in Yorkshire - a product of GROVE SPORT Photographer - Bob Bradford / Camerasport The Newsletter of the Old Grovian Association Issue 28 Winter 2017 The main OGA objectives are: • To promote mutual acquaintances with former pupils and drive their interest in the School • Assist the academic and recreational life of the School • Further the interests and reputation of the School I have incredibly fond memories of my time at the Grove and, as a boarder, those memories are so much more than classrooms and lessons. 27 years later, the buildings may have changed, but there is a definite air of familiarity about the place and a surprising number of my old teachers working alongside Old Grovians that clearly couldn’t bear to leave the place. My own connection with the school is as strong as ever. Now a parent, with Archie in year 8 and Harry in year 6, I certainly have a vested interest in ensuring that the OGA benefits Grovians both past and present. The OGA already does far more than I realised. Most of us have read Xaipete or have perhaps attended a reunion, but the OGA also raises money, which is used to support the work of the Trustees of the Southerns Scholarship Fund and has even supported the OGRUFC recently. I know Roger would also wish for me to prompt you about the work of the newly formed Woodhouse Grove Foundation and its focus on raising funds to support bursaries enabling pupils to continue to access the opportunities so many of us enjoyed at the Grove. During my year as Chair, I would really like to draw from my experience as a consultant Civil and Structural Engineer to further those objectives. Like many other businesses, one of my biggest challenges is to continually develop new work streams and eectively communicate with clients and peers. Like me, I’m sure many of you will understand the benefits that a strong commercial network provides. It would be wonderful to create a similar network that covers all sectors with links to School Welcome From The at its core. A true “OG” network that provides mutual benefits to its members and also opportunities for career progression to the students in the form of career guidance, mentoring, work experience or Chair apprenticeships.

  • The Anglo-American Military Relationship: Institutional Rules, Practices and Narratives
    The Anglo-American military relationship: institutional rules, practices and narratives WYN REES, University of Nottingham, UK LANCE DAVIES, Staffordshire University, UK Abstract This article contends that the Anglo-American military relationship is a vital yet neglected area of study. The British military have actively cultivated a relationship with the US military and its strength and durability help to account for the longevity of the broader so-called ‘Special Relationship’. The article argues that the complexities of the military relationship can best be captured by the theoretical lens provided by Lowndes and Roberts that combines different strands of institutionalism to focus on rules, practices and narratives. The intense linkages between the US and UK have become routinized, enabling them to adapt their peacetime cooperation to conflicts, and thereby address post-Cold War security challenges such as peace enforcement, counterinsurgency and post-conflict stabilisation. The article draws upon semi- structured interviews with senior military officers as well as policy documents to explore how these patterns of collaboration have become ingrained in patterns of both thinking and behaviour. The Anglo-American military relationship: institutional rules, practices and narratives Introduction Analysts are often scornful when the subject of the ‘Special Relationship’ between the US and the UK is raised, with one recent commentator describing the language as ‘vacuous’ (Mumford, 2017: 1). Many see it as the attempt by a diminishing European power to preserve the historical cooperation that existed with the US against Soviet expansionism. In the words of Dumbrell, ‘..there is no question that the Cold War’s 1 end removed much of the rationale for intimate and “special” US-UK cooperation’ (2001:2).
