  • Dise Show May Not Be Bigger Than 1968, but It Will Be Better, from the Industry's Point of View
    The 1969 edition of the Professional Golfers' Association Merchan- dise Show may not be bigger than 1968, but it will be better, from the industry's point of view. For the first time ever, the show will be closed to the public! This will undoubtedly cut down on traffic jams despite the fact that it will be held in the 45,000 square foot "big tent" again (150 feet by 300 feet). Also, although the number of booths will remain just about the same, 228 in '68, 226 this year, the number of companies and exhibitors are expected to increase. The Palm Beach Gardens show had 150 companies representing 875 exhibitors last year and at press time approximately 120 companies were already in the fold. Since this is a buying and ordering show only, the absence of the public and the expected increase of manufacturers displaying product lines (along with the current leisure time industry boom), should combine to make this one of the biggest dollar volume business meetings in recent times. A major part of last year's success reportedly was due to the stampede of alumi- num shaft orders. A PGA spokesman said a report also showed that some apparel sales were up 200 to 400 per cent and that a shoe manufacturer revealed a 30 per cent increase. The PGA is hoping that the closing of the show to the public will also enable it to take a count of the number of new products being shown—something that has never been tabulated. GOLFDOM, on the other hand, has been able to obtain an advance list of many of the expected show products and they follow.

Many of its contributors oppose the very idea of school 'standards' and have an ideological opposition to external testing. They have been permanent critics of the changes of recent decades. And it is only in that light that the review's conclusions can be understood. Of course, there is no conflict between teaching literacy and numeracy, and the other subjects within the primary curriculum. And the best schools do indeed show how doing them all well provides a good and rounded education. Presenting this as the point of difference is a diversionary Aunt Sally. However, there is a very real conflict between recognising the need to single literacy and numeracy out for extra time over the other subjects as with the dedicated literacy and numeracy lessons, and making them just another aspect of primary schooling that pupils may or may not pick up along the way.

  • 2007 – 90 Years of Economic Action for a Fair Society
    Report of the Co-operative Party 2011/12 to Co-operative Group half yearly members meetings The Co-operative Party continues to be a major political force on behalf of the co-operative movement. This year we have been at the forefront of bringing the UN International Year of Co-operatives to Parliament, as well as to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and town halls around the country. We intend to build on this profile in coming years. Building on our successes in recent years, we have achieved a great deal - legislation to improve and safeguard the position of co-operative organisations, establishing the Co-operative Councils Network to take forward the movement’s agenda at a local level, bold policy solutions that put co- operatives at the heart of society, working with our Labour and Co-operative MPs to be an effective voice for co-operation and mutuality in Parliament, and advancing the work of the Co- operative Group on issues such as the position of young people in our society and expanding the role of co-operatives in international development. Over the coming months we will be working hard on those initiatives and developing new ones, working closely with our colleagues in the co-operative movement as an effective advocate for our values in the face of enormous economic change. New General Secretary Michael Stephenson, General Secretary since 2008, moved on during 2012 to a new role in the Co-operative Banking Group. Since September 2012, the new Co-operative Party General Secretary has been Karin Christiansen. Karin has a wealth of experience in international development and is the Party’s first ever female General Secretary.
