Editorial Welcome to a new Olympic year where we all are looking forward to Rio 2016. New philatelic issues for Rio 2016 from the Brazil Post are included in and on the cover of this issue. Olympic anniversaries this year include: Berlin 1936 (80th), Berlin 1916 (100th) and London 1866 (150th). There was ofcourse no Olympics held in 1916 but the round number for the anniversary is difficult to ignore. The National Olympian Games held at Crystal Palace in 1866 hosted the predecessor of the 100 metres event held at Athens 1896 and there was no equivalent of the 100 metres race at ancient Olympia or at Athens in 1859, 1870 or 1875. Before you read the first article in this issue it is worth knowing that if you draw a line on a map of Athens from the Panathenaic stadium to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, then to the Hellenic Parliament and back to the stadium that you will have captured within that triangle a large part of the Olympic legacy of Evangelis Zappas. That legacy includes the stadium itself, the National Garden and the national exhibition centre, called the Zappeion, which was named after him. Third instalment of British Olympic postal history 1956 - 2008 is included in this issue with some commemorative covers that were originally sold at the Royal Air Force museum in Hendon. How many times have we all heard that sport and politics do not mix? One article in this issue looks at an item that was listed on the website of the UK's Parliamentary Archives which is, incidentally, a very interesting website to visit and lists a number of Olympic-related items accumulated by politicians. Another article specialises in British Members of Parliament who were also Olympians. I have to confess that before I read it I had no idea there were that many. In February 2016, a movie called 'Race' that honours the life of Jesse Owens was released recreating key athletic events during Berlin 1936. Website for the Jesse Owens Memorial Park and The Jesse Owens Museum is at www.jesseowensmemorialpark.com. In April, a movie dedicated to 'Eddie the Eagle', the Calgary 1988 ski-jumper, makes its debut in cinemas. It was announced at the beginning of March 2016 that a number of medallists from London 2012 have been disqualified for using performance-enhancing drugs and that their medals are being taken away. More annoying than the cheating itself is that it is identified several years after a medal ceremony. Will they be expecting post offices around the world to print postage stamps for new gold medallists or to change the colour of postboxes? Those once complete sets of gold medallist stamps will be less complete. Collectors exhibiting stamps of gold medallists will need to point out the drug cheats and who should have been honoured instead. The philatelic equivalent of a drugs-cheat witch hunt with rogues' gallery. Collectors might like to start lobbying post offices for stamps and postboxes accordingly. Then there is all the associated memorabilia of the commercial sponsorship deals that gold medallists benefited from. Changing history is harder than it looks. Bob Wilcock is planning to make a presentation for Olympic Collectors in Billericay in Essex on the 1st of September 2016. Do not hesitate to contact Bob for further details which should also appear in a future issue as soon as we have them. Have added a stamp to the front cover commemorating the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer held between the 12th and 21st of February 2016. 2 Correcting the history of the UK's Parliamentary Archives by Mike Pagomenos Noticed an error on the website of the United Kingdom's Parliamentary Archives (www.parliament.uk/archives) and informed the website administrator in January (see figure 1). Ticket for 1896 Olympic Games in Athens Lcil Fullscreen fi: (ili Print g ,,,,f 1171 Email Title: Ticket for 1896 Olympic Games in Athens Date: 1896 Catalogue number: Parliamentary Archives, LEG/3/4/2 Figure 1. Partial 'screen capture' of ticket as described on website. As is so often the case on the Internet, this image has already been copied and reused on other websites that also claim that this was a ticket for admission to the Athens 1896 Olympic Games. Be aware that it is not. The fact that the ticket is printed in the Greek language with an italicised font does not help when you cannot read Greek. Unfortunately, when a prestigious website makes an error it will likely be repeated. 3 The translation of the ticket shown in figure 1 is as follows: "LEG/3/4/2 Family of A. L. Gower Secretary of the Legation of G. Britain Ticket for the Palace Garden Valid from 27 April 1896 until 30 October 1896" On this ticket, the month 'October' was abbreviated to '10ber'. This ticket provided access to the garden of the Old Royal Palace, the first Royal Palace of modern Greece. Not the adjacent National Garden formerly called the 'Royal Garden'. Nor the New Royal Palace, now called the Presidential Mansion. The Old Royal Palace is now home to the Hellenic Parliament at Syntagma Square. The Square used to be the front lawn of the Old Palace. By the end of January the description of the ticket was changed to: "Ticket for entrance to the 'Palace Gardens' during the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens". Wrote again to explain that the Closing Ceremony for the Athens 1896 Olympics was held on April 15th and that this ticket was for admission to the Palace Garden from April 27th. i.e. no admission during the Games.

    Stephen Parkinson Amid the glory of London 2012, the successes of two Olympic medallists-turned-Tory MPs are well known. Seb Coe, mastermind of the 2012 Games, won gold for the 1,500 metres and silver for the 800 metres at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow and repeated the feat four years later in Los Angeles; Colin Moynihan, Chairman of the British Olympic Association, won silver for rowing as the cox of the men’s eights in Moscow 1980. Both sit on the Tory benches in the House of Lords, having previously been MPs: Moynihan in Lewisham East (1983–92) and Coe in Falmouth & Camborne (1992–7). But how many other Conservative politicians have represented Britain at the Olympics? Rather a lot, as it happens – including some who did so at the same time as they were in the House of Commons. The UK’s first Olympic champion was a politician, but neither a British nor Conservative one. The Irish Nationalist John Pius Boland, who sat for South Kerry from 1900 to 1918, won the country’s first two medals at the first Olympiad of the modern era, the 1896 Games in Athens. It seems to have been done on a whim: as an undergraduate at Oxford two years earlier, Boland had heard a Greek student at Balliol, Konstantinos Manos, speaking at the Oxford Union about the modern revival of the Olympics, in which he was involved. The two became friends and Boland ‘looked him up’ a couple of years later after heading to Athens to see the Games.1 Boland was only supposed to be a spectator, but – with help from Manos – entered the lawn tennis tournament ‘on the spur of the moment’, playing in leather-soled shoes with ‘a tennis bat of sorts’ he picked up at a local bazaar.2 He won the men’s singles and, after the partner of the German he had beaten in that tournament dropped out of the doubles with an injury, Boland stepped into his place and won that too.3 Luckily for him, the Games ‘were held about Easter, and it was possible to be back at Oxford in time for my last summer term’.4 1 John Boland, Irishman’s Day: a day in the life of an Irish M.P.

  • Winter Olympics Code Breaker
    Winter Olympics Code Breaker Amazing Winter Olympic Stories • In the 1988 Winter Olympics, Jamaica entered its first team in the bobsleigh, which was amazing as they had to practise without snow in Jamaica! It was such a great story that it inspired the 1993 film ‘Cool Runnings’. • From 1929 until 1988, Team GB had no ski jumpers; that was until Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards came along in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. He came last but was a British ski jump record holder, going on to become a TV personality and stunt skier. In 2016, the film ‘Eddie the Eagle’ was released telling his story. • Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are two of Team GB’s most famous Winter Olympic stars, having won the gold medal in 1984 with their ‘Bolero’ ice dance. They were world champions three times, British Champions seven times and both have MBEs. They now underpin the TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’. Challenge Solve the maths calculations on the following pages to spell out some Winter Olympic sports, the names of some Team GB athletes and locations of past Winter Olympics using the code below: A B C D E F G H I J K L M 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 You might also want to find out: • where the 2022 Winter Olympics will be held; • how many different sports are included in the Winter Olympics; • when snowboarding was first introduced to the Winter Olympics.

But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places.
