TALK OF THE TOWN - PAGE 8 ASSOCIATION OFASSOCIATION PROFESSIONAL OF PROFESSIONALTOURIST GUIDES TOURIST GUIDES www.guidelondon.org.ukwww.guidelondon.org.uk September 2019 October 2019 Union news LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Like many of us I am a member of several guiding organisations - APTG (of course) and the Guild, the ITG and most recently the City Guide Lecturers Association. I have also been thinking about what each organisation offers for my membership fee in the run up to our AGM and the preceding Strategy Day. We are planning ahead what we want to develop and put forward for 2020. We need to offer value for money - for information, updates and work. We want to offer stimulating and useful CPDs, a regular magazine and an up to date website. Both the APTG and the Guild earn their keep as they provide work opportunities: after all it only takes one job to pay for the whole year’s subscription. We need to be open to questions and our regular Members Open Meetings with speakers have proved popular with APTG members. Recent talks by the Ravenmaster and the Jewel House Curator have attracted record attendances. Our website is under new management and visitor traffic is increasing each and every month. We are developing web pages in languages other than English - our first ones in French will be shown at our AGM. We recognise that over half of our membership guide in languages other than English. We recognise this and are changing the way we do things to reflect our membership. The ITG are currently communicating to every major tourist site in the UK and encouraging them to use the ITG ID Badge as an additional way of confirming that guides are professional and accredited. The primary relationship sites have is with their site liaison guide - whether APTG, Guild or both. This relationship is the strongest one and allows sites and guiding membership associations to quickly share information and resolve issues. The ITG communication builds on this relationship. However it should not mean that access to tourist sites is limited only to ITG members carrying their ITG card. Many APTG (and Guild) members have been blue badge guides for thirty plus years and have chosen not to join the ITG for a number of reasons. We must be careful not to push them out of the profession and from the opportunity of earning their living. The ITG card is welcomed as a way of deterring unqualified guides, free tours and operators falsely advertising that their tours are led by BBTGs. We should be careful not to harm the employment opportunities for badge holders in the process. Finally I am pleased to report APTG colleagues that our office stalwart Anna is recovering well from her operation earlier this year and is now resting at home. Sara Colclough has stepped into the breach and is doing an outstanding job covering the office and the myriad of enquiries that arrive each day. If you want to send a get well card to Anna please send it to the office and we will forward the mail sack on to her. Kind regards, Nick Hancock GUIDE LONDON REPORT YOUR BRANCH COUNCIL There were 23,618 visitors in August, the eleventh consecutive month with Nick Hancock (Chair) over 20,000. To date we have had a 24% increase over last year. Ruth Polling (Secretary) Leads Alfie Talman (Treasurer) 367 leads came in August, 246 via GuideMatch forms: nine from foreign Sue Hadley (CPD) language pages, 52 via main landing page, 185 from individual tour pages. Alex Hetherington (Marketing/FEG) All 45 individual tour pages have generated at least four leads each. Edwin Lerner (Guidelines) Spam Anne Marie Walker (Membership) This continues to be a problem and we had over 1,200 spam queries via Danny Parlour (Site Liaison Co-ordinator) the Rock n Roll page before we closed the loophole. We take this issue Liz Rubenstein (Debt Recovery) very seriously and have made progress but there is clearly still more to do. Steve Szymanski (Vice Chair) Website Content Charlotte Thurlow (Social Events) One new blog post: Te n Facts About Highcle re Castle by Edwin Lerner Katie Wignall (Social Events) Major London Events Isabel Wrench (Languages) In an effort to attract more visitors we have kicked off this project and are awaiting design pages. We hope to launch it by the end of the year. Sue Hadley is in GuideMatch Leads charge of our ever Guides have complained that, despite updating their diaries, they are not popular CPD getting leads. We have made a tweak so that, when the system finds programme. guides who match search criteria, priority is given to those who have received least leads. We will monitor this to see what effect it has had. See her report Ursula Petula Barzey on page one. 2 letters from members WEARING THE BLUE BADGE/PHOTOCARD There were several responses from members to Mary wherever I went I was treated with respect by museums, Sewell’s article in the September issue.

They replied are complaining about and demeaning ourselves. Do we that concerns should be raised by Institute members at really want to be lumped together with the untrained and free the Open Forum, which follows their AGM. This issue is tour guides? I don’t think so. We have not spent three or not a London regional issue but a national one.

(itg.org.uk/news-and-events/events/institute-agm-2019/). A little story: some years ago I was taking a group to Edinburgh for the Tattoo and had left my badge in the hotel. I have been very puzzled for some time by the suggestion As we arrived I was asked a question by one of my group that we should not wear our blue badge or photocard outside which I couldn’t answer and went to ask a Scottish guide who our area of qualification.

  • 2014-15 Sustainability Report
    Historic Royal Palaces Sustainability Report 2014/15 Sustainability Report 2014/15 Sustainability information is reported freely by Historic Royal Palaces although publication is not required under the Royal Charter, contract with the Department of Culture, Media & Sports and Charity regulations we are governed by. This is the third year we are publishing our records and actions on the sustainability topic. However there are still limitations with the availability at a granular level and the accuracy of HRP’s sustainability data. We continue to work with all stakeholders to improve data gathering process and quality of information. Energy consumption figures are based on billed amounts and are therefore subject to adjustments in subsequent periods. 1. Our approach to sustainability Historic Royal Palaces is committed to the values of sustainability in the work it undertakes to help everyone explore the palaces and estates it looks after and in the management of its operations. Conservation is at the heart of HRP’s mission, so managing the palaces and the estate with as little environmental impact as possible is important to us. Through our conservation work, we give our buildings, interiors, collections, designed historic landscapes and natural landscapes, species and habitats a future as long and valuable as their past, for the benefit of future generations. We strive to embed sustainability in HRP’s work culture by launching initiatives that encourage good sustainability behaviours with staff (i.e. switching off electronic equipment, setting computers & printers settings to minimise paper waste, improving recycling facilities) and by ensuring that sustainability thinking forms part of project planning mandates and is delivered at a local level through the budgeting process (i.e.

  • A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber
    A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber A Persuasive Interior: Reconstructing the Whitehall Palace Privy Chamber Miranda L. Elston One of the most distinguishable features of Henry VIII’s reign was the meticulous use of architecture and the interior to instatiate his supremacy as King of England. This research uses the king’s Privy Chamber, a private apartment in the royal apartments, at Whitehall Palace as the paradigmatic example to critically assess the Henrician interior in an interdisciplinary study. Through an examination of the primary accounts and records, inventories, archaeological studies and visual evidence from extant interiors and visual representations, this essay digitally reconstructs the Whitehall Privy Chamber to analyze its function. The creation of digital reconstructions of the Whitehall Privy Chamber reveals tangible evidence allowing us to understand the Henrician interior as a holistic space that simultaneously aligned Henry VIII with his historic ancestry and imagery of the virtuous Renaissance Prince.
