    Simon Robertshas Photographed Every British Pleasure Pier There Is

    Simon Roberts has photographed every British pleasure pier there is – and several that there aren’t. Overleaf, Francis Hodgson celebrates this devotion to imperilled treasures 14 15 here are 58 surviving pleasure piers in Britain and Simon Roberts has photographed them all. He has also photographed some of the vanished ones, as you can see from his picture of Shanklin Pier on the Isle of Wight (on page 21), destroyed in the great storm which did so much damage in southern England on October 16, 1987. Roberts is a human geographer by training, and his study of piers is a natural development of his previous major work, We English, which looked at the changing patterns of leisure in a country in which a rising population and decreasing mass employment mean that more of us have more time upon our hands than ever before. We tend to forget that holidays are a relatively new phenomenon, but it was only after the Bank Holiday Act of 1871 that paid leave gradually became the norm, and cheap, easily reachable leisure resorts a necessity. Resorts were commercial propositions, and the pier was often a major investment to draw crowds.

    Dear Swimmer April 2-16 P2P Swim 2016 I Am Pleased to Announce That

    12 The Glade Wroxall Ventnor I.O.W. PO38 3QA Tel : 01983 852625 Affiliated to ASA Southern Region & BLDSA E-mail : [email protected] Dear Swimmer April 2-16 P2P Swim 2016 I am pleased to announce that the swim this year will be held on August 6th. The swim start will be later than usual due to the tides being more tricky this year. The swim will start at 2:30pm from the Sandown Lifeboat station. It has been decided to keep the entries as in previous year (i.e. no wet suits). It is one of the few swims that doesn’t have this category and the overwhelming majority of swimmer feedback last year was to keep it as it always has been for the last 60 odd years. The Pier to Pier swim follows a long tradition here on the IOW. When it first started 64 years ago the Deep Sea Fishermen and other locals threw down the gauntlet during Shanklin Regatta week and challenged each other to a race in the sea from one end of the bay to the other, notably from Sandown Pier to Shanklin Pier! They swam in the traditional swim gear of the day in the open sea whatever the conditions! No risk assessment, no safety cover probably, few officials, no numbered hats e.t.c. Over 40 of last year’s swimmers expressed support for ‘skins’ and suits of course! Remember you are entering a long standing traditional swim following in the footsteps of the deep sea fishermen of yester year! We now run into the sea rather than jump off the pier, we are accompanied (for safety reasons) by so many kayakers, fishermen, Sandown Lifeboat and Ryde Inshore Rescue! We finish the race on the beach by Shanklin Rowing Club.
  • The Advent of the Cryptic Degrees

    The Advent of the Cryptic Degrees

    THE ADVENT OF THE CRYPTIC DEGREES By Comp. E.J. Frew Over the years there have been countless Masonic Degrees created and a very large number of these were invented in France to meet a demand for more light on the Old Testament story. Many of these degrees usually became known as "So-and-so's Rite" and lasted no longer than the lifetime of the author, who, being seized by a particular legend in current literature, had concocted a ritual for his personal profit. Others, of less ephemeral appeal, were carried to the United States in the wake of the Rite of Perfection and eventually found their way to Great Britain. Some of these have been absorbed in existing sovereign obedience’s, e.g. 13 in the A. & A. Rite, two in the Allied Masonic Degrees and four in the Cryptic Rite. In case any Cryptic Mason is getting ready to contradict this number, at this time in history the four degrees were, Most Excellent Master, Royal Master, Select Master and Super Excellent Master. The origin of the degrees is traced back to the middle of the 18th century. W.J. Hughan, in a note written before 1891 says, "Cryptic Freemasonry has been worked in England, more or less regularly from about 1760, in one form or another, as the degrees are in part, nearly allied to some of the Ancient and Accepted Rite. For those not so advanced in Masonic knowledge this rite is known as 'The Rose'. Of later years these degrees seem almost to have been lost sight of, and the knowledge of their working nearly, if not wholly, died out save in Scotland under the wing of the 'Early Grand Encampment'." He also has written in the Leicester Lodge of Research "The degrees of Royal and Select Masters are said to have been introduced into the United States of America about 1761, and soon became popular in that country.

May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Dear Sir Knights and Cousins, I greet you with a traditional Irish blessing, and I pray that you are safe and healthy during these unique times. While this year has been challenging, there have been many special events that have strengthened our hope for a bright future of not just sustainability and continuity, but also of growth and Light. This publication is being stylized as a Knightly News Magazine, as it places emphasis on vignettes that promote a deeper understanding of our Knighthood with thought provoking articles. Education being one of the pillars of our Mission Statement, I believe that a proper application of what we learn and share will help to keep our councils vibrant and prospering. I firmly believe that it is the duty of each Cousin to impart what they have learned to others, sharing their Light and strengthening this Order of Knighthood. A lot of effort has gone into this publication and I extend my appreciation to our contributing writers and to M.E. Kevin B. Sample, who published this edition of the Knightly News Magazine.

    "The Capstone" An attempt to identify the 'Head of the Snake' Secret Societies Order of Hospitallers (link) The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers, were a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem that was founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023 out of which two major Orders of Chivalry evolved, the Order of the Knights of St. Lazarus and the Order of the Knights of St. John, later to be known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Hospitallers arose around the work of an Amalfitan hospital located at the Muristan site in Jerusalem, founded around 1023 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Order was weakened by Napoleon's capture of Malta in 1798 and became dispersed throughout Europe. It regained strength during the early 19th century as it repurposed itself towards humanitarian and religious causes. The modern continuation of the mediaeval Order is the Roman Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta, headquartered in Rome; allied Protestant orders are headquartered in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The first master of the original Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was Brother Gerard (whose origins remain a mystery).

    Lodge Officer Training Course Study Guide

    The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida LODGE OFFICER TRAINING COURSE STUDY GUIDE Revised 2011 Series I Module I Basic Fundamentals Lessons 1 through 7 Organization Masonic Education Committee Revised 05/2012 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the ranks of those Master Masons who are concerned about their Lodge's need for good Officers and are willing to make a commitment to improve themselves in Masonry. Your involvement in this program indicates you are one of those Florida Masons. Our Lodges and their communities throughout Florida are undergoing constant change and upheaval as a result of the rapid growth of our population. Daily, as individuals and Masons, we are faced with decisions about legal matters, taxation, insurance, planning, finances and other areas which in many instances defy understanding. Recognizing that those who serve our Lodge, as Officers, must have special knowledge to prepare them to fill those offices, this training material has been prepared for your use and benefit. The course has a number of lessons which have their own text. Many of these also contain lists of reference materials and other items designed to expand your knowledge of our Fraternity. This program is designed to allow expansion as needed. It is hoped that your interest will be keen and there will be sufficient demand to warrant frequent additions to the program. Study well the prepared text materials. Make wide use of the various reference materials. Consider the questions carefully and make sure your answer is the best one. When you have completed the tests in Module I, submit the completed Module to your Zone Chairman of Masonic Education.
