We are fortunate to have her as a member of Southport Rotary. We were pleased to welcome as guests Tracy’s Australian mum Margaret Dark and Lambert and Allan’s colleague Friborz Masoori. We hope they will come again. It was good to get an update from our DGN Michael about the Prince of Peace School in Tanzania showing us the computers we sent in the container last year. The desks that were made locally were very professional looking and funded by a grant from a Rotary Club in Geelong. Michael’s report on the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) camp held recently at Tyalgum Ridge Resort gave us a better idea of the programme and its effectiveness in the lives of the young adult attendees. It is surely one of Rotary’s best youth programmes. If you know of young people in grade 10 who would benefit from the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN), let David Randall know. This will be held on the weekend of May 22-24 at Bornhoffen in the Numinbah Valley. Southport Rotary can sponsor them. Don’t forget to sign up for the Polio night movie “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” to be shown at the Gold Coast Arts Centre on Sunday MARCH 1 at 6.30 pm at a cost of $20 each. Remember the District Conference on April 17-19 in Goondiwindi. We will put in for some of the District Awards- Best Club Bulletin, Rotary-Rotaract involvement and the Best Endeavour Award for our Carousel project. Keep in mind what you can contribute to our hamper for the Silent Auction. We’ll collect items in March. A celebration of Rotary’s 110th birthday on February 22nd has been put back on the calendar with the Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads Rotary Clubs organizing a sausage sizzle and a cake which the Mayor will cut at 12 noon. This is still at the Eagles Rugby Union ground (Overell Park) on Brighton Pde in Southport from 10 am till 2 pm. Come along if you can. We will have our own Club celebration on February 24. That will be a good time to invite guests. I will include the list of dates for the Gold Coast Suns’ games where we have the opportunity to sell raffle tickets and see the game. Please check your diaries and we’ll collate this for 3 games next week. The money raised goes into the Suns’ Horizons programme which addresses youth homelessness, domestic violence and the social issues on the northern Gold Coast. Rotary Clubs that sell the tickets get 40 % of the money they make. Samantha Stackpole from our Southport Rotaract Club is going to India on February 18th with a group who are taking part in a NID (National Immunization Day) for polio. She will take some banners from our club to give to other Rotrarians in the group. It will be good to hear about Samantha’s experiences when she returns in March. I look forward to seeing you next week when we will hear about neural plasticity, which is to do with our hearing. That is sure to be of interest to us all. Partners and guests are always very welcome Marion TREASURER’S REPORT Merv Powell NOTE: All members who fail to send in an apology for non-attendance will be charged as per our club policy, which was agreed by all members at previous club assemblies.

Lawrence Rowe ‘He was a hero here’ IT’S EASY to feel anonymous in the Fort Lauderdale sprawl. Shopping malls, car yards and hotels dominate the eyeline for miles. The vast concrete expanses have the effect of dissipating the city’s intensity, of stripping out emotion. The Gallery One Hilton Fort Lauderdale is a four-star monolith minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. Lawrence Rowe, a five-star batsman in his prime, is seated in the hotel lounge area. He has been trading off the anonymity of southern Florida for the past 35 years, an exile from Kingston, Jamaica, the highly charged city that could no longer tolerate its stylish, contrary hero. Florida is a haven for Jamaican expats; it’s a short 105-minute flight across the Caribbean Sea. Some of them work at the hotel. Bartender Alyssa, a 20-something from downtown Kingston, is too young to know that the neatly groomed septuagenarian she’s serving a glass of Coke was once her country’s most storied sportsman.

  • Book « Fred Trueman » Download
    Fred Trueman \\ Kindle QPKSJDK3YJ Fred Trueman By Chris Waters Paperback. Book Condition: New. Not Signed; Fred Trueman was so much more than a cricketing legend. 'The greatest living Yorkshireman' according to Prime Minister Harold Wilson, he couldn't help excelling at everything he did, whether it was as a hostile fast bowler for Yorkshire and England, and the first man to take 300 Test wickets in a career, or as a fearlessly outspoken radio summariser for Test Match Special. He was famous for regularly spluttering that, 'I don't know what's going off out there,' as well as for the amount of swearing he managed to incorporate into everyday speech. Beloved of cricket crowds, who filled grounds to witness his belligerent way of playing the game, and nothing but trouble to the cricket authorities, 'Fiery Fred' was the epitome of a full-blooded Englishman. But as Chris Waters reveals in this first full biography, behind the charismatic, exuberant mask lay a far less self-assured man - terrified even that his new dog wouldn't like him - and whose bucolic version of his upbringing bore no relation to the gritty and impoverished South Yorkshire mining community where he actually grew up. Drawing on dozens of new interviews with his Yorkshire colleagues, family and... READ ONLINE [ 2.1 MB ] Reviews A top quality publication along with the font used was intriguing to read.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
