Having completed his two years as Chairman Richard Atherton left the Committee at the AGM in June. His time in the chair ended a long period of service on the Committee and I was pleased to have to opportunity to thank him at that meeting. The Old Greshamian website, which is maintained by David Horsley under the address of: HYPERLINK http://www.holtsch-bio.demon.co.uk, goes from strength to strength. I encourage those of you who have access to the Internet to visit this as it has useful information about OGs which will inevitably be more up-to-date than the Magazine as time passes from publication date. Your committee continues to strive to provide a variety of events that it hopes the Members of the OG Club will wish to attend and enjoy but we can still be disappointed by poor attendance at some of these. Personally, I greatly enjoyed the Tallis House Reunion, as it was a chance to meet again some contemporaries whom I had not seen for about 25 years. I only wish I could say that none of us had changed! That aside, it would help us a great deal to have your opinion about the events that are planned, for example, whether you prefer focused events such as house, year or area events or ones of more general appeal. Please will you take the time to give any feedback on events that you have attended, or ideas for other events, to John Rayner at the School. Or, of course, e-mail us via the website as above. Whilst mentioning future events, please may I commend to your diary a reception to be held at Fishmongers Hall in the City of London in October 2000. It is some time since our last event was held there and we are very grateful to the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers for allowing us to use the Hall in such a busy year. No, I am not going to mention the much-hyped Millennium! Finally, may I commend to you a visit to the School? Living, as I do, only a few miles away I go there reasonably frequently and I find it a happy and vibrant place. Not only does it continue to do well academically and sportingly but in other ways as well. Music and drama have always been important to the School but are now at a very high standard indeed. The strength and depth of the many music groups made up by pupils that appear at events in Norfolk never fail to impress me and the Auden Theatre has put drama into another league. I hope to see you at the School or at other OG events. Iain Mawson Tallis House (68 - 73) 4 Minutes of the 115th Annual General Meeting of the Old Greshamian Club Held on the 26th June 1999 Present: R. Atherton (Chairman), C.I.H. Mawson (Vice Chairman), J.S. Rayner (Club Co- Ordinator), J. Arkell (Headmaster), M. Goff (Treasurer), J.A.D. Mumby, P.G. Corran, J. Blackburn, M. Buckingham, P. Peal, Mrs B. Neville, F. Gedge, P. Bodington, M.B. Everitt, J. Ramuz, J Hutchence, S. Mayoh, H. Jones, D. Spencer-Jones, one or two others whose names were illegible, and the Secretary A. Payne. Apologies Apologies for absence were received from R.N.K. Copas, Miss F. Gathercole, Mrs F. Thomas, R. Young, F. King, D. Horsley and N.C. Flower. The Minutes of the previous AGM These were approved. Treasurers Report The accounts were produced and after discussion the proposal for adoption was made by J. Ramuz and seconded by J. Blackburn. The accounts showed a firm financial base and the Treasurer paid thanks to J.B. Rolph who is the Honorary Auditor. He also mentioned that the increased membership of the Club thanks to the Club Co- ordinator was having a very healthy effect on the Clubs finances. Chairmans Report There are now more than 4,000 Members of the Club living in over 50 countries and ranging in age from teenagers to nonagenarians. Around 200 Members each year take the trouble to pass on to us news of their activities through various media, including increasingly by e-mail. Regrettably, we do not have current addresses for about one fifth of the membership. The Committee meets three times per year. The attendance level is high, the discussions constructive and good-humoured. We do however labour under the difficulty of trying to ensure that the programme of Club activities does offer something for everyone. In one area, one hopes the only one, we do not achieve success.

  • Revision Questions
    77 REVISION QUESTIONS These questions are designed to act as a stimulus to a consideration of particular aspects of Chaucer's purpose and craft, as well as offering an idea of the kind of questions to be expected in examinations. 1. 'Individuals, types, moral emblems - and some are all three.' Discuss this comment on Chaucer's characters. 2. 'The purpose ofsatire is the moral reform ofsociety.' How far does this correctly describe Chaucer's purpose in The General Prologue? 3. 'The fact of people not practising what they preach is an unfailing source of amusement to him.' Discuss this comment as it applies to The General Prologue. 4. How does Chaucer avoid the danger of monotony in describing so many pilgrims one after another? 5. Determine and illustrate the varieties of humour in The General Prologue. 6. 'The condicioun of ech of hem ...and whiche they weren, and of what degree, and eek in what array that they were inne.' Show how Chaucer fulfils this purpose with reference to three or four characters in The General Prologue. 7. 'God saw that the world was good. And God was partly right.' How far does this remark describe Chaucer's attitude to the society of his time as represented by the pilgrims? 79 FURTHER READING Long book lists can be both daunting and useless, if a student cannot decide what will be of immediate interest to him. For this reason this bibliography has been kept very short. Its purpose is merely to point in one or two useful directions; further signposts are plentiful as soon as any of these books are examined.

  • THE EARLS of DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS of the MOST ANCIENT and MOST NOBLE ORDER of the THISTLE (From Dennis Hurt and Wayne R
    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).

  • 2011 03 21-Final Bskyb CPBF Response 21 March
    RESPONSE BY THE CAMPAIGN FOR PRESS AND BROADCASTING FREEDOM (CPBF) TO THE DCMS CONSULTATION ON THE PROPOSED NEWS CORPORATION TAKEOVER OF BSKYB. 1.1 THE CAMPAIGN FOR PRESS AND BROADCASTING FREEDOM The Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom (CPBF) is an independent organisation funded by its membership which links people working inside and outside the media. It works to improve diversity and accountability in the media and has campaigned since 1979 on a range of issues including ownership and control, censorship, public service broadcasting and media standards. For further details: www.cpbf.org.uk 1.2 The CPBF responded to the original Ofcom enquiry which reported on 31 December 2010. We argued in our evidence to Ofcom that the News Corporation/ BSkyB takeover would ‘represent a transformative shift in UK media ownership’. We had serious concerns about the impact of the proposed takeover on media plurality, but also more broadly on the competitive position of other UK media groups faced with the massive global resources (financial, marketing, programming) a merged News Corporation/BSkyB would be able to deploy. We also stressed the basic point, which goes right to the heart of media pluralism, that a merged company would be a powerful boost to the well-documented existing political and commercial power and influence which Rupert Murdoch, the chairman and CEO of News Corporation, already exerts within the UK. 1.3 We think this power and influence has been confirmed yet again. In particular we are puzzled and concerned by the decision taken by the Culture Secretary to substitute Ofcom’s original advice, which he was initially minded to accept, that the merger would give rise to serious media plurality concerns and therefore be referred to the Competition Commission, with a process that involved direct negotiations with News Corporation.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT LORD HOPETOUN Papers, 1853-1904 Reels M936-37, M1154-56, M1584 Rt. Hon. Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.
