  • Denis Molyneux and David Munrow
    Copyright: The Sports Leisure Legacy Project Denis Molyneux and David Munrow Denis Molyneux represents the Project’s earliest connection with the ‘birth’ of the UK sports centre, which followed the Report of the Wolfenden Committee in 1960. Denis was later a member of the Working Party that produced ‘Planning for Sport’ in 1968. These two reports set the national agenda for subsequent sports provision, not least sports centres. Denis David Molyneux was born in 1925 in Braunston, Northamptonshire and grew up in Welwyn, Hertfordshire. He was educated at Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet. After service in the Fleet Air Arm he attended the University of Birmingham and later the University of Newcastle, completing an MA in history in 1957. As a first-class researcher, he joined David Munrow, Director, and Peter McIntosh, Deputy Director, at the Physical Education Department of the University of Birmingham in 1958. David Munrow was a pioneer and was appointed as the first Director of Physical Education at Birmingham University in 1939 by Sir Raymond Priestley, Vice Chancellor, and a celebrated Antarctic explorer/researcher. Priestley brought physical education, recreation and health into the life of the student and staff community. Birmingham was the first university to provide a sports-based degree. Within the Physical Education world in the 1950s and early 60s the two were amongst the most prominent sports lobbyists in the world at that time. In 1961 David spoke on Sports Training in Great Britain at the International Olympic Academy in Olympia, Greece. PE graduates after 1963 will be familiar with Pure and Applied Gymnastics, a book written in that year by David Munrow.

  • Leading the Field
    LEADING THE FIELD THE STORY OF SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM MATT COLE The University of Birmingham has invested its aspirations and its resources in sport from the opening of the university to the present day. Whether for the recreation, education and health of its staff, students and the public, or for the development of some of Britain’s sporting pioneers, the University has recognised the integral role of sport in its work. The investment has paid dividends for over a century now in Birmingham’s role in the development of sporting participation, expertise and influence. Sir Oliver Lodge was interrupted on the golf links to be recruited by Joseph Chamberlain as Birmingham University’s first Principal. His sporting enthusiasm was captured in this portrait for a 1904 profile in C.B. Fry’s Magazine of Action and Outdoor Life. 1900 LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS: TO THE EDWARDIAN ERA 1918 The University of Birmingham was founded at a To these were added clubs for swimming and Lodge was passionate about the role of sport in time of dramatic change for sport and society, golf in 1907, boxing and wrestling in 1909, and, public life and in the University.

    Conservative Campaign Headquarters 30 Millbank London SW1P 4DP 3rd April 2012 Boundary Commission for England 35 Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BQ Dear Sirs, Second consultation period – West Midlands Region We have much pleasure in enclosing our response to the representations received during the first consultation period on the initial proposals for the West Midlands Region. Yours sincerely, Roger Pratt CBE Boundary Review Manager WEST MIDLANDS REGION Submission of the Conservative Party regarding the responses to the initial proposals for the West Midlands region 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 We note that the Commission have received a large number of representations from the West Midlands proportionally larger than any other Region. 1.2 We note that the large majority of the representations are in opposition to the proposals, although in certain places a large number of representations support the proposals of the Commission, for example in Staffordshire Moorlands. 1.3 We note that a very large number of representations have come from Sutton Coldfield but we believe a lot of the representations there are based on misunderstandings and misinformation. 1.4 We will examine the proposals and any counter-proposals on the basis of Rule 5 of the Rules for Redistribution of Seats – Schedule 2 to the Act. 1.5 In particular we will look at the factors that can be taken account of under Rule 5 (1): a) Geographical factors; b) Local Government boundaries; c) Existing constituencies; d) Local ties that are broken from existing constituencies. 1.6 We note that both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats have submitted comprehensive counter-proposals.

  • Sileby Meeting Responses No Question Answer 1 I Recently
    Sileby Meeting Responses No Question Answer 1 I recently stumbled upon this article and wondered if you could ask if it has EA any bearing on the situation within Sileby and the surrounding areas The computer simulated hydraulic Modelling for the Soar Valley regarding the flooding. As I read and understand it all works that had been Improvement Scheme showed that no further works were required completed ended with Pillings Lock and not carried on through to upstream of Quorn itself and the first radial gate structure was Cossington as the original plan. only required at Pillings and not at Cossington as initially thought, this was because the river valley is very wide upstream of Pillings I may have read it completely wrong, but would this work have been carried and there is lots of natural active floodplain land to take the flood on and not stopped would it have made a big difference to Sileby? As flows adequately. barrow upon Soar copes well with flooding now compared to quite a few years back. There is little impact on the flood risk to Sileby from the River Soar itself and this small impact will only occur when the River Soar is in http://www.environmentdata.org/archive/ealit:2390/OBJ/20000936.pdf lager floods greater than 1:50yr as the river Soar will hold some water back in the Joint flood plain area of the River Soar and Sileby Brook which is mainly downstream of the properties in the village on the farmland and Sileby is therefore really only at major flood risk from the Sileby Brook itself.

  • Inside the Political Market
    Notes Preface and Acknowledgements 1 Priestley, 1968. Reviewing a book on the latest American campaign tech- niques the same year, Labour agent Terry Pitt warned colleagues that politi- cians ‘will be promoted and marketed like the latest model automobile’ (Labour Organiser no. 558, December). 2 Palast, 2002, p. 161–69. 3 Editorial in The Observer, 18th August 1996. 4 The speech was made to the pro-business Institute of Directors, ‘Mandelson: We sold Labour as news product’, The Guardian, 30th April 1998. 5 Hughes and Wintour, 1990; Gould, 1998. 6 Cockett, 1994. Introduction: Inside the Political Market 1 Coates, 1980; Minkin, 1980; Warde, 1982. 2 Hare, 1993; ‘Top Consumer PR Campaigns of All Time’, PR Week 29th March 2002. Of the other politicians featured the Suffragettes and Conservatives (1979) occupied the fifteenth and sixteenth places respec- tively. 3 Gould, 2002; Gould, 1998, p. 81. 4 Abrams and Rose with Hinden, 1960; Gould, 2002. 5 Mandelson and Liddle, 1996, p. 2; see also Wright, 1997. The Blair leader- ship, like most politicians, deny the extent to which they rely on profes- sionals for strategic input and guidance (Mauser, 1989). 6 Interviewed on BBC1 ‘Breakfast with Frost’, 14th January 1996, cited in Blair, 1996, p. 49. Blair regularly returns to this theme: in his 2003 Conference speech he attacked the interpretation of ‘New Labour’ as ‘a clever piece of marketing, good at winning elections, but hollow where the heart should be’ (The Guardian, 1st October 2003). 7 Driver and Martell, 1998, pp. 158–9. 8 Crompton and Lamb, 1986, p. 1. 9 Almond, 1990, p.
