  • October 2019
    The October 2019 NEWSLETTER of the WESSEX CENTRE of the MORGAN SPORTS CAR CLUB Greetings, fellow Wessex Morganeers y quill is scratching the parchment (not quite in time with the hammering of the rain on the window), and I am conscious that this is the edition of The Morganiser just before the M clocks go back. This is when the days suddenly feel a lot shorter, and we spend dark evenings wondering where the summer went, and then hatching exciting plans for the year ahead. At this point we begin to remember those conversations with intrepid Wessex members who have toured far and wide in their Morgans in the UK and in Europe, and dream of adventures of our own. ver the year to date, Wessex has had a very busy calendar, and, checking the reports, I am amazed at how many have been bathed in glorious sunshine. The New Year’s Day outing O to Coldharbour Mill in steam, and all the Sunday lunches (including those stunningly photogenic venues at Dillington House and Hornsbury Mill) have seen a splendid turnout of topless Morgans. And, the same was true of Drive-it Day to Mapperton House and gardens, Killerton, Hive Beach, the Tinney Tribute Tour, Bennetts Water Gardens and the lighthouse at Portland Bill, Fivehead summer fête, Thornfalcon, and the Honiton Hill Rally. We have done well! The Stonebarrow Picnic was a damp exception which proves that Britain does still have a maritime climate. Bob and Jenny’s trip to Angoulême in mid-September for the Circuit des Remparts was a scorcher, too.

  • Prehistoric 'Sea Dragon' Discovered on English Channel Coast Is Identified As New Species 9 December 2020
    Prehistoric 'sea dragon' discovered on English Channel Coast is identified as new species 9 December 2020 with all other Late Jurassic ichthyosaurs to make certain our instincts were correct. It was very exciting to not be able to find a match." The specimen, estimated to have been about 6 feet long, was discovered in 2009 by fossil collector Steve Etches MBE after a cliff crumbled along the seaside. He found it encased in a slab that would originally have been buried 300 feet deep in a limestone seafloor layer. The specimen since has been housed in The Etches Collection Museum of Jurassic Marine Life in Kimmeridge, Dorset. Jacobs named it Thalassodraco etchesi, meaning "Etches sea dragon" after Etches. Illustration of Thalassodraco etchesi. Credit: Megan Jacobs "Now that the new sea dragon has been officially named, it's time to investigate its biology," said study co-author David Martill, Ph.D., professor of paleontology at the University of Portsmouth in A mysterious small marine reptile dating from 150 Portsmouth, United Kingdom. "There are a number million years ago has been identified as a new of things that make this animal special." species that may have been capable of diving very deeply. The well-preserved specimen was found in Investigating the Differences a Late Jurassic deep marine deposit along the English Channel coastline in Dorset, England. "This animal was obviously doing something different compared to other ichthyosaurs. One idea The aquatic reptile has been determined to be part is that it could be a deep diving species, like sperm of the group known as ichthyosaurs, which were whales," Jacobs said.

WUnderstandably captured as we are by local and national issues, and governed by the routines of everyday life, it is important to appreciate constantly other concerns and other voices operating in our world. Cinema is a very eff ective medium for just such a need. To paraphrase the British Film Institute, an organisation to which we are indebted for support every year, we need to listen and learn from the other voices which fl ow from the diverse range of British and international fi lm making past, present and future. From New Zealand to Sweden and from Japan to Brazil, 24 countries are represented in the festival. They provide a wonderfully enjoyable way of encountering the world and its variety of human experiences. From the light hearted (Dough) to the deadly serious (Eye In The Sky), from the female perspective (Aquarius), to the black experience (I Am Not Your Negro), from the classic (La Strada) to the contemporary (My Life As A Courgette), the Festival aims to satisfy as many desires as possible and as many issues as practical. I hope you will all enjoy what you see and hear and continue to support this great event. We look forward to seeing you.
