I am extremely proud that my official connection with The Prostate Cancer Charity began in March 2011 – It is hugely encouraging to be able to show you how much we have done, on every level, to improve and very excited to have the opportunity to lead such an important charity as Chief Executive. One of the the future for men with prostate cancer. But numbers alone can never tell you about the countless things that has struck me most is the dedication and enthusiasm of all our people working to make life people and organisations – like the Movember Foundation and the support of over 100,000 ‘Mo Bros’ better for men affected by this disease. 2010/11 has been the most successful in the Charity’s history. and ‘Mo Sistas’ – that have helped make all this happen. We are incredibly grateful, for each and every So, it is great to have the opportunity to build upon solid strengths in order to reach out and help contribution they have made. thousands more men and their families; both today and into the future. While the successes are clear, I do need to highlight the challenges that remain and how much more A critical aspect of our success is ensuring that each area of our work links with the rest. We provide needs to be done. High on the list is the important need to find a better, more effective diagnostic specialist support services, invest in essential research and campaign tirelessly to push the issues test for prostate cancer. We still need more resources to increase the funding of our other medical surrounding the disease higher on the national healthcare agenda. We also collaborate with ever increasing research, especially into advanced disease. And at a time when all parts of the NHS are under numbers of medical and charitable organisations to maximise the collective impact. Our continued extreme pressure, we need to step up our campaigning work to reduce the inequalities in the partnership with the Movember Foundation has been a huge factor in what has already been achieved to standards of care across the nation. date and will be a big part of the significant difference that we are determined to make in the future. And last but not least, we need to find the resources and the ways to reach men and their partners in There is still a very long way to go. One of the most important connections I have made in my new role is higher ‘at risk’ groups, who currently neither know the facts about prostate cancer nor are currently with some of the 250,000 men and their families, who have been impacted by this disease. It is clear that aware of the help we can provide. variations in men’s experiences of care still exist – and need to be tackled firmly. I am determined to lead the charge in bringing about the improvements in men’s experience of prostate cancer we absolutely need to Thanks to John Neate, who retired as Chief Executive this year, our Charity has become a truly see – striving ever harder to connect more and more men to better outcomes, wherever they live. authoritative, highly respected organisation. Now with Owen at the helm, we are determined to reach out further to achieve the challenging goals that face us if men with prostate cancer are to receive the Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, from donors to researchers and politicians and information, treatment and support that they deserve. journalists.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.

  • 1967 the First Good News of 1967 Was That the Paragon Polo Team Had
    1967 The first good news of 1967 was that the Paragon Polo Team had won the Surrey Cup beating Crystal Palace in the Finals by 5 – 4. The Team were Alan Roberts, Tony Knight, Dave Fish, Alec Bird, Keith Ongley and Chuck Bettle. This was followed by some bad news when one of our younger riders Colin Wye died in a tragic accident at home. He had just started to show some promise by winning the SW London and Surrey Schoolboy Sprint Championship at Herne Hill. He was also a fair dart player and eliminated a number of more seasoned throwers in the Club Championship. The local racing season started with the Croydon and District Hardriders and a convincing win by Peter Head (Redhill) in 1.12.03. John Sargeant came 3rd with an excellent 1.17.14. According to the Blah he was the only Paragon rider not to crash or puncture in the wet and windy conditions. Derek Hull came 12th in 1.22.01. Our other finishers were Rowan Vacher 16th, 1.22.24, Ian Murray 21st 1.24.06, Mick Marguerie 30th 1.27.17, 34th Brian Harwood 1.29.12, 38th Graham Bristow 1.31.25, 43rd Barry Sturgess 1.32.18, 48th Pete Fryer 1.34.38, 51st John Jennings 1.36.19 and 56th Andy Murray 1.39.17. Ray Runham and Robin Buchan started the season as they hope to continue and that was with a win. They paired up to ride the Portsmouth Command event over 50 kms. With a time of 1.14.14 they won by over a minute.
