On everyone’s behalf I would like to thank David Mitchell for the great work he has done with the previous issues. David has given me a great deal of help this year and I am sure that you will be glad to know that he is still on the editing team. I was worried at first that I would not get enough contributions to fill a magazine but that has not been the case. As you will find out when you read it through there are many excellent and varied contributions. My emphasis has been on layout and have avoided tampering with text. A few of you who have submitted material may find the odd word changed or missing. I have only done this where it has been absolutely necessary to avoid odd words or lines going onto the next page. I have also tried to be consistent with the design of previous issues. I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of being the first in the audience to read these pieces. And would like to congratulate and thank those who have provided art work which is all of excellent quality. In fact, thank you to everyone who has provided all of these excellent items. 6 From the Brecon U3A Chairman The term “Chairman” first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1658. It has several citations around 1720 for those occupying the “Chair” at formal meetings. I remember when I was much younger enjoying the tradition of the chairman being a “Master of Ceremonies” in the old Music Hall, whose job it was to control the rowdier elements of the audience. I was living in Leeds when “The Good Old Days” was regularly broadcast from the Leeds City Varieties. The term “Chairman” was used in both Russia and China in it’s respective revolutions, and in China Mao Zedong is still referred to as “Chairman Mao”. Being chairman of Brecon U3A, it’s nice to know you are following a long historical tradition! For me, the role of chairman is simply being one of a team that seeks to make Brecon U3A work for all its members. I have other roles outside U3A but picking up the office of chairman in an organisation with a reputation for excellence is rather daunting. Part of it at Brecon are the traditions established by my predecessors, but without the support of a talented and committed team, a chairman can achieve nothing. Organisations like U3A only function because people give up their time and use their talents to organise, arrange, keep people informed, as well as dealing with a myriad of rules and regulations that seem to be dreamed up by those in authority as obstacles to achieving anything. Like all other Third Sector organisations U3A only has a future if people volunteer to make them a success. I may be biased, but I think Brecon U3A is a great organisation feeding those most important human traits of curiosity and imagination. On your behalf, my thanks to everyone on the committee; to all of you for your support and friendship, and finally to Mike Ingram, who does so much for us, but very practically has produced this magazine. Enjoy it. Richard 7 Adventure in Hay-on-Wye - The Siege Victim by Jean Hosie On Friday 10th December 1993 Bruce and I having just returned from a 12-week visit to Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia decided to make a start on serious Christmas shopping and arrange appointments with our dentist so drove over to Hay-on-Wye. On leaving the car park we separated, Bruce to the Post Office enroute to the dental surgery and I into the Bruce Hosie 1929 - 2017 Pavement Bookshop. I was astonished when he appeared moments later saying he had heard in the Post Office that there was man armed with a gun going “around the town” and having reported to me went off to the surgery. I thought little of this message, confident that no villain was likely to come into a second-hand bookshop. Some ten minutes or so later, about 3.00pm, I was amazed to hear a policeman come into the shop and insisting premises be evacuated immediately as there was an “incident”. I made my way to the car park, expecting Bruce to join me very shortly, but realised he had the car keys and that I had foolishly left all my keys at home, having failed yet to transfer them from my holiday bag into the one I was carrying! When he did not appear, I started back to the Dental Surgery only to find the town now full of police and all the streets closed. The man with the gun was making his presence felt, and I learned he was already well known to the authorities; it later transpired that he was one Mark Williams, “on leave” from prison for the weekend to visit his foster-mother in Llanwrtyd Wells. Mark and his foster-mother had fallen out over a Christmas present he 8 wanted but that she could not afford, and he had hit her and thrown her downstairs before fleeing the house. He stole a car in Llanwrtyd and drove towards Hay but before reaching the town stopped at a farm and persuaded the farmer to buy the car from him. The farmer gave him a cheque, so he walked into Hay to cash it in a bank, but it was incorrectly made out and he was refused. Frustrated, he left the bank, crossed the road and went into the Agricultural Merchant’s where he found a young man, Andrew, on his own. He produced a gun and proceeded to propel Andrew, who developed an asthmatic attack, round the town with the gun in his back. They met the local police constable who immediately questioned Mark by name and asked what he was doing. Mark showed him the gun and demanded the constable hand over his mobile phone and his keys, both of which he then threw away over a high wall. The constable turned tail heading for the police station and Mark continued with his captive into town. Building work had been going on at the dental surgery and the builders had left the door propped open when they left. Mark shoved Andrew, now considerably distressed, in through the doorway where he was greeted with concern by the Receptionists, who were then alarmed when Mark appeared waving his gun at not only two receptionists but two or three patients (including Bruce) immediately threatening them all.

  • The Great Stink of London
    This is an introduction to Stephen Halliday's book The Great Stink of London. During Victorian times, there were serious problems with water supply and sanitation in London. Crisis point was reached in the summer of 1858. The Great Stink of London In the mid-19th century, Britain was gripped by the fear of cholera, a highly infectious and deadly disease. When cholera struck Hamburg in Germany, the British government grew alarmed that this latest outbreak might spread to Britain. They decided to create a special committee to deal with the expected epidemic. However, the epidemic never happened because of the work of one man: Sir Joseph Bazalgette. At that time, London’s sewage flowed straight into the River Thames. From here it leaked into adjacent springs, wells and other sources of drinking water. This was the root cause of cholera, a waterborne disease. Contemporary accounts describe London being crowded with men, women and children struggling to survive in terrible conditions. In 1849, one journalist reported that the air had 'the smell of a graveyard, and a feeling of nausea comes over anyone unaccustomed to it.' About the Thames, he wrote, 'heavy bubbles now and then rise up in the water, which is covered with a scum like an encrusted cobweb. In it float large masses of noxious, tangled weed and against the posts of the bridges are swollen carcasses of dead animals.' In the summer of 1858, the stench from the Thames was so bad that Members of Parliament fled from the rooms overlooking the river. The Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, rushed from the debating chamber, handkerchief to nose.

The project is divided into three main work contracts: West, Central and East. The TFerrovial Construction and Laing O’Rourke joint venture (FLO JV) has been appointed as principal contractor for the Central Section with an original estimated budget of £745m. The scope of the works of the Central Section includes the construction of a 12.7km new sewer tunnel under the River Thames between Fulham and Bermondsey. Eight CSO’s spread along the river will be connected through culverts to a new interception chamber and then to a 60m deep shaft structure. From the shaft, the flows will be conveyed into the main tunnel which is being excavated with two 8.8m diameter tunnel boring machines.
