Bill DRUMMOND Reunion Member ........ Colin FARRER EDITORIAL Thanks to Members who have written and called me in respect to my first Issue of "Watchdog" dated March 2016. I am delighted by your response and I will continue to provide the same quality, readability and interesting content for this important membership communication tool. I enjoy the opportunity to be of service to such an interesting and dedicated group, and I truly support and admire your many years of service. Please send any articles, comments, or your own personal memories that we can consider for publishing in future "Watchdog" issues. If you are able, please attach your news in "Word" format. Personally, I love Tommy Cooper and those old Radio Shows - See Edward (Ted) Wealleans my " Goon Show" article below in this issue. My London – Memories of days gone-by - by Ted WEALLEANS, Editor: The Goon Show (Originally under the title of Crazy People). The Goon-show focused on the bizarre experiments of Prof Osric Pureheart, played by Michael Bentine working alongside Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. After two series, Bentine left the show. As a result, a new title character was created - Neddie Seagoon. Episodes tended to involve Neddie trying to achieve some kind of greatness, often with the help of the idiotic but happy Eccles and the young Bluebottle. However, always willing to stop them and make as much money as possible were the impoverished Hercules Grytpype-Thynne and his French assistant Count Jim Moriarty. Also featuring alongside were the disgraced and flatulent Major Dennis Bloodnok, and elderly couple Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister. My email address is ... [email protected] and phone # is (403) 932 2578 RMP-NA WEB-SITE: www.royalmilitarypoliceassociationnorthamerica.org Volume 13, Quarter 2 "Watchdog" June 2016 2 Our Chairman Says BRANCH CHAIRMAN - BILL DRUMMOND I hope by now you have all received my attached email regarding the 2017 reunion. If you have not replied by now, please do so as soon as possible giving your executive a lead on what your feelings are for a possible venue. Remember, this is your branch and only with your input and participation can we keep things going. (See survey questionnaire on Page 4 of this newsletter). Everything is basically in place for Quebec City Reunion, as usual Derek Mac. has done us proud with a great hotel and some really interesting side trips. I know everyone is going to enjoy the beautiful old city of Quebec and hope that again Mother Nature will be kind, playing her part to make sure we have another memorable reunion. The Alberta gang had another nice get together with a lunch meeting at Horton Road Legion Branch, we missed John and Olwyn Horton and Peter Jones and Elizabeth, John due to his stay in hospital and Peter due to a previous commitment. Please see the Executive’s Health and Welfare report in this newsletter. The down side of the day was that we had our motor home parked across the street and came out to a parking ticket on our windshield, (so did Gordon Davies). There were no signs of any kind to say `No Parking` so I assume in Calgary you are just supposed to guess where it is safe to park! As some of you are aware we try to keep in contact with the R.M.P. members at B.A.T.U.S. Suffield, Alberta. Unfortunately, W.O.11 Mark Dempster, due to pressure of work, never did manage to attend any of our lunch dates. I personally had the pleasure of meeting him and I`m sure we all wish him well in his new posting back in Britain. Mark`s successor is W.O.11 Jim Lee, Jim and his wife Angel just arrived during the first week in May and are settling in nicely. I took the opportunity to visit with them when in Medicine Hat on May 14th, Jim is looking forward to meeting the Alberta group during his stay here. Their two sons are coming over in June and Zo and I have invited Jim and Angel to stay overnight with us when they come to pick up the boys at the airport, maybe a few of us can get together with for a beer during their visit. I haven’t had any communications from any of our eastern members so I am assuming that all is well with them, that no one is ill, and nothing untoward is happening there. On a personal note, I have taken a position as secretary to the local Legion Memorial Committee. This committee was formed as we have purchased a decommissioned L.A.V 111 (as used by our troops in Afghanistan) and by the time it is unveiled the costs will be around $50,000. We basically have just got started and the response from everyone from our Member of Parliament to local business men and women to the general public has been incredible with offers of help literally pouring. It is being placed at our local museum as a tribute to the 42 young Albertans who gave their all during recent conflicts. The Light Armoured Vehicle is one of only 250 across Canada and one of only 4 here in Alberta. My other personal note (surprise) was when in Medicine Hat in May we were there to attend my Mother in Law’s 85th birthday, sitting in the Medicine Hat Legion, who walked in but our daughter from Ontario and my 3 month old grandson, no one knew they were coming, so Grampa got to hold his first grandson for the first time, what a thrill! NEW BRANCH MEMBER – Michael RAMSDEN from Milton, Ontario Canada A special WELCOME to Michael. Born in Hemel Hempstead, Herts. Served in the RMP for 9 years 1966 to 1974. JTR Rhyl – RMPTC – 247 Pro Coy Berlin – 5 Bde Pro Coy and 179 Pro Coy. Married to Sonia. Michael is considering coming to our Reunion in Quebec City. Michael’s details have been added to our Membership List, on our Website. That’s all I have for now folks, till next time, take care. Volume 13, Quarter 2 "Watchdog" June 2016 3 Survey for 2017 Reunion From Chairman Bill Drummond We are already looking at a possible 2017 reunion venue. The following are suggestions that have been made by Members and we would appreciate you input as to where we should consider. Here are the four suggestions:- 1. Penticton B.C., in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, this site is on the shores of Okanagan Lake and boasts wonderful fall weather. The city is served by both Air Canada and WestJet airlines. 2. Jasper Alberta, situated in the Rocky mountains and close by the Columbia Ice Field, a lovely area when dressed in the fall colours. A bit difficult to get to from either Calgary or Edmonton, there is no air service to Jasper. 3. Edmonton Alberta, the capital of Alberta, one of Canada's sunniest cities with approx. 2,300 hours of sunshine annually. Edmonton was touted by National Geographic as one of the best cities to visit in 2015. The international airport is serviced by all major airlines. 4. St. Johns Newfoundland, a very historic city first settled in the 1600s with lots to see and do. This was the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication in 1901. Keep in mind, theoretically we should be back in the west. The city is serviced by most major airlines. Notwithstanding that we are talking a long way down the road and that circumstances arise where we cannot attend due to illness etc., please only vote in order of preference IF it is your intention to attend. It is important that you reply to the Executive to know your vote. Please reply to me by email or phone by July 5th with your intentions. Signed Bill Drummond – email [email protected] Tel: (403) 554 0556 Volume 13, Quarter 2 "Watchdog" June 2016 4 “News of Members" By DEREK McCORQUINDALE D Alan Hayward Ex-RMP and North America Branch Member since 2004 We are pleased to inform members that Alan has recently retired from his position with Mohawk College, (based in Hamilton, Ontario).

  • The Rude Mechanicals Present Ying Tong – a Walk with the Goons
    The Rude Mechanicals present The Australian première of Ying Tong – A Walk With The Goons By Roy Smiles, Directed by Ian Hart The Street Theatre, Canberra 17 August – 2 September 2006 Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide. —John Dryden The subversive anarchy and surreal humour of The Goon Show burst on post-war Britain and Australia like an exploding batter pudding. The shockwave wrenched English comedy off its secure moorings and set the course for Monty Python, Beyond the Fringe, The Goodies… all the way to Little Britain. Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan became household names. Today, 50 years later, The Goon Show is still being repeated on the ABC. Roy Smiles’ brilliant new play celebrates the genius of The Goons, but also demonstrates the truth of Dryden’s couplet in the high price that Milligan, its creator, paid for his success. Ying Tong opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse and then transferred to The West End and has been touring in Britain and South Africa for the past year. The Street Theatre season is its Australian première. The Rude Mechanicals production is directed by Ian Hart and features four talented Canberra actors: Robert de Fries (Spike Milligan), Steven Kennedy (Peter Sellers), Robbie Matthews (Harry Secombe) and John Honey (Wallace Greenslade). The choral performance of The Ying Tong Song is by OOTS Choir, Tuggeranong, directed by Jenny Sawer. Visit the Rude Mechanicals web site http://www.camrin.com/rudemech Preview: 16 August Season: 17-19, 22-26, 29 August-2 September Wednesdays-Saturdays 7:30pm, Tuesdays 6:30pm Matinees 19 Aug, 26 Aug, 2 Sept at 1:30pm Venue: The Street Theatre Studio Tickets: $28 Concessions available.

Orchestra conducted by Wally Stott. Transcribed by Josh Hayes, corrections by Peter Olausson. Greenslade: This is the BBC. After the news there'll be a talk on Early Christian Plastic Knees and the first broadcast of a piece of knotted string. If you would like a piece of knotted string, send three rust- proof shillings to "Honest" Wal Greenslade of Weybridge. Ta. Seagoon: Hello folks of world! Hello folks of world! And in that order! Greenslade: Ta. That voice comes from inside a short fat round blob, namely Neddie of Wales. Seagoon: Thank you, Jim Krint. My first impression will be of Peter Sellers. Sellers: Hello folks. Grams: [Sudden burst of cheering] Seagoon: Stop! [stops] My next impression will be of Spike Milligan saying "Thynne". Milligan: Thynne! Orchestra and Omnes: Thynne! Milligan: Thyyyynne! Orchestra and Omnes: Thyyyynne! Milligan: ThyyyyYYYYyyyynne! Orchestra and Omnes: ThyyyyYYYYyyyynne! Seagoon: That's Thynne enough! Thank you, thank you. Remember, folks, saying "Thynne" cures you of monkeys on the knees. Sellers: Yes, if you've got monkeys on the knees, just say: Milligan: Thynne! 1 Sellers: And they are only three and six a box. Milligan: Yes, I swear by Thynne. One morning I woke up and there they were monkeys on the knees! Grams: [Monkeys in a temper] Milligan: Then I said the cure word, Thynne! Grams: [Speed up and fade record of the monkeys at high speed] Milligan: And away they went! Greenslade: Ta.
