  • London Manx Society Who Was Given the Honour of Formally Opening the Festival
    NEWSLETTER Summer 2016 Editor – Douglas Barr-Hamilton Annual lunch Thirty-six members and guests of the Society assembled for our annual lunch at the traditional venue in Southampton Row on Saturday, 7th May and thoroughly enjoyed our first social gathering of the year. We dined on leek and potato soup, roasted supreme of chicken and lemon crème brulée while catching up on one other's news. Having toasted the Lord of Mann, sung the Manx National Anthem and toasted the guests and the land of our birth, the guest of honour, Edmund Southworth, director of Manx National Heritage brought us up to date with the organisation's work on the Island in an entertaining speech and kindly answered a number of topical questions. Other guests present were Mrs Suzanne Richardson, Mrs Josie Thacker, Peter Nash and Rev. Justin White. Members who attended were Anne and Nick Alexander, Voirry and Robin Carr, Bryan and Sheila Corrin, Pam and Mike Fiddik, Colin and Sheila Gill, Sally and Peter Miller, Melodie and Harry Waddingham, Sam and Mary Weller, Jim and Sue Wood, Douglas Barr-Hamilton, Margaret Brady, Stewart Christian, Derek Costain, Rose Fowler, Maron Honeyborne, Alastair Kneale, Carol Radcliffe, Margaret Robertson, Maisie Sell, Elizabeth Watson and Mary West. 2 The outgoing president, Alastair Kneale, after three years in the post, handed over to his successor Bryan Corrin from Beckenham. Bryan is Emeritus Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Imperial College, London and a long-time member of the Society. He is a descendant of Richard Corrin of Castletown and Catherine Creer of St Anne’s (presumably Santon) who were married at Braddan in 1839, immediately prior to leaving the island to settle in Liverpool.

We believe that it is an excellent preparation for both university and life beyond and it is the only qualification we offer in the Sixth Form. Class sizes are small with an average of 10 pupils per class. ENTRY REQUIREMENT Six IGCSE/GCSEs at grade ‘C’ or above, or the equivalent (Level 4). A ‘B’ grade (Level 5/6) is recommended for the subjects you wish to study at Higher Level. WHAT IS THE IB DIPLOMA? The IB Diploma Programme is a balanced programme of education that combines both breadth and depth of study. It places a strong emphasis on critical thinking skills and promotes a sense of international-mindedness. The programme is taught over two years and is recognised by all UK universities and by most leading universities around the world. THE CURRICULUM Students study six subjects, normally three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).

Kinrade Introduction 1993 by Stephen Miller All Rights Reserved INTRODUCTION Thomas Kinrade's typescript as preserved in the Manx Museum Library is simply titled by him as `Notes on the Lhane Mooar & Largagh Districts of Kirk Andreas,' and dated March 1945. (The cover title of `Life at the Lhen' is of my own devising.) Kinrade tells us that his intention was to describe the Lhane Mooar and Largagh as it was to be found in the 1890s, both from his own memory and that supplemented by oral accounts from others, most notably a Mrs Ann Gawne (nÂe Curphey) who died in 1924 aged 100 years. Although various Kinrades appear in this account nowhere does he indicate his own relationship to any of them which strikes one as rather curious. Kinrade recollects reading the writings of Richard Jeffreys (an English naturalist) who recounted (whether factual or not) as a boy making out a map of the village where he lived and entering the names of those who lived there, `many years later he wished he could have found the map, but could not.' Evidently he felt a similar loss of knowledge would happen about the place of his own childhood if nothing was recorded in writing and preserved safely.
