1514–2014 the Old Pocklingtonian Editors’ Note from the Headmaster’S Desk 2 0 1 3 / 1 4 500th 1514–2014 The Old Pocklingtonian Editors’ Note From the Headmaster’s Desk What a year it has been! The focal point for most activity this year has of course been the school’s 500th anniversary. We have enjoyed meeting and catching up with many OPs from around the world at the numerous Quincentenary events which have taken place here at school or further afield in York, Cambridge and London for example. Some of the Quincentenary events are featured later in the magazine and write-ups and photo galleries can be found on the Pocklington 500 area of the school website, so do take a look if you have been unable to attend or take part so far. The year has also been tinged with sadness as we lost our very dear colleague, David Smith (Staff 01- 14), unexpectedly in March. The plethora of e-mails and messages I received following his passing are testament to the high esteem in which he was held by OPs and the wider school community. Indeed, his friendship and good company, particularly at OP dinners, are sorely missed. We were delighted that his widow, Christine, and his son, Philip (85-95), joined us in May for the Quincentenary black tie dinner in Dear Old Pocklingtonians into Spain in order to be repatriated to England before York and the Minster Service the following day, which being sent off again to North Africa.

  • Tim and John Fell in Love at Their All‐Boys High School While Both Were Teenagers
    Tim and John fell in love at their all‐boys high school while both were teenagers. John was captain of the football team; Tim an aspiring actor playing the lead in Romeo and Juliet.

Ryan Corr and Craig Stott star in this remarkable true‐life story as Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo, whose enduring love affair has been immortalised in both Tim’s hilarious cult‐classic memoir and Tommy Murphy’s award‐winning stage play of the same name. Murphy has adapted Tim’s book for the screen. Trumps has been offered complimentary preview tickets!

There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time.

All rights reserved. 1 | 18 European Parliament Elections 2014 1.0 Introduction This briefing is part of DeHavilland EU’s Foresight Report series on the 2014 European elections and provides a preliminary overview of the candidates standing in the UK for election to the European Parliament in 2014. In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • Australian Television, Music and Place
    Screen Sound n1, 2010 SOUNDING EAST OF EVERYTHING Australian Television, Music and Place Liz Giuffre Abstract East of Everything is a contemporary Australian television drama series shot on the New South Wales North Coast in and around the popular tourist destination of Byron Bay. In addition to utilising the region’s visual beauty – a cinematographic technique commonly employed in Australian drama – East of Everything has harnessed the musical culture that has developed in the area over time. The series relies on its soundtrack to create a sense of place and illuminate the program’s dramatic progression. This article will explore the use of music to ‘place’ East of Everything, examining the incorporation of pre-existing and specially commissioned material. I will show that the sonic representation of place through music has been key to the program’s success, and that place in the Australian drama is revealed sonically to be as diverse, emotive and striking as the region’s visual landscape. Keywords Television, Soundtrack, Australian music, Byron Bay, Surfing Culture Introduction Billingham (2000) argues that television drama often relies on the creation of ‘geo- ideological’ relationships to attract audiences. As part of his evaluation of various contemporary British and American television drama series, he suggests that many successful programs created a “dialectic of literal notions of place and location, transposed with their ideological marking, signing and delineation” (2000: 1). For Billingham the depiction of place was central to the success of these television texts, with the program’s target audience engaged as visuals and sound worked in “symbiotic tandem” to create an “imagined city” (2000: 119).

  • European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7Th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament Elections
    European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament elections Dr Philip Lynch ([email protected]) & Dr Richard Whitaker ([email protected]) University of Leicester UKIP and the 2014 European Elections Philip Lynch ( [email protected], @drphiliplynch ) and Richard Whitaker ( [email protected], @rickwhitaker ) Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester UKIP go into the 2014 European elections in a far stronger position than they did five years earlier. The crucial differences are first, that UKIP have not experienced the decline in support in general election polling that they normally do after a European election. On the contrary, they are now consistently placed in third position in polls of general election vote intentions. Second, their ratings in polls of European election vote intention are some ten points higher on average than they were in the run up to the 2009 contest for seats in the European Parliament (EP). Third, they have more than double the number of members and a much better, even if still small base in local councils having secured 147 seats in the 2013 local elections. Fourth, while they have benefitted in the past from Conservative supporters lending UKIP their vote, they are in an even better position to do so this time around given that the Tories are now in government. On top of that, if UKIP’s campaign to win even more support from working class voters is successful, they will make headway in areas where Labour are traditionally strong. The presence of the Liberal Democrats in government alongside the collapse of the BNP add to the auspicious conditions for UKIP in 2014.

  • Trustee Recruitment Pack
    The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack Trustee Recruitment Pack June 2021 1 The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack 2 The Story Musuem - Trustee Recruitment Pack “A little bit of one story joins onto an idea from another, and hey presto… not old tales but new ones” Salman Rushdie, ‘Haroun and the Sea of Stories’ 1. Introduction The Story Museum was founded as a registered charity in 2003 in response to the clear need to encourage literacy and creativity amongst children and young people and therefore improve life chances. Our mission is to enrich lives, particularly young and disadvantaged lives, through stories. We are achieving this from our most unusual Museum located in the historic centre of Oxford, a city where so many stories - real and fictional - have begun; it is also a place characterised by the educational and social inequality that The Story Museum aims to combat. We create imaginative, immersive exhibitions and events that invite our visitors to explore stories in all forms drawn from across time and around the world. Through this interaction with stories and storytellers, visitors of all ages nurture their creativity, skills and wellbeing. They discover and shape their own narrative. Alongside our public offer, we run participatory projects with targeted groups of children in schools and community settings, intended to address inequalities in access to books, creative learning and cultural capital. Having initially worked in schools and the community, developing our programmes and action research, we found a permanent home in 2010 in a dilapidated old site in the centre of Oxford. Over a 10 year period and several phases of capital works requiring £10m of public and philanthropic support, we transformed it into a place of wonder.
