A century on from the end of the First World War, 2018 was a year of national commemoration and remembrance. All conflicts are agents of change, but the first industrial total war wrought dislocation in Britain, across Europe and Russia, and far beyond. One legacy of those four years of conflict are memorials to the fallen. They are to be found in all but 53 of England’s then estimated 16,000 villages. Chelsea’s main memorial, unveiled in 1920, stands in Sloane Square, but there are others, tucked away, such as in Wiltshire Close. To mark the ending of the Great War, it seemed apt to include a piece on Sir Alfred Munnings, who lived in Chelsea Park Gardens. Renowned for his paintings of horses, he was also an official War artist. With the reform of the franchise in 1918, some seven million more men were entitled to vote, often overlooked in last year’s celebrations of the anniversary of votes for women. However, 2018 was also the 90th anniversary of all women over 21 being enfranchised in 1928. This seems a good enough reason for this edition of the Annual Report to remember some of those women who lived or worked in Chelsea who effected profound, even revolutionary, change in Britain, including Mary Quant and Elizabeth David.

Giving his apologies for absence, he congratulated the Society for its work in 2018 and wished it well for the coming year. Minutes The minutes of the last Annual General Meeting held on 20th November 2017 were approved. Elections to the Society’s Council Michael Bach, Terence Bendixson and Jennifer Grossman retired. In accordance with Rule 4.16 of the Society’s Constitution, Michael Bach and Terence Bendixson offered themselves for re-election and were elected. Accounts for the Financial Year ending 30th June 2018 The Accounts were presented by acting Treasurer, Christopher Lenon, and were adopted. Chairman’s Annual Report Chairman, Dr James Thompson, presented his Report for 2018. Any Other Business Society members raised a number of other matters: Society Membership Asked whether the Society’s membership was increasing or diminishing, the Membership Secretary replied that we had 35 more members than at this time last year. Traffic Law Enforcement Concern was expressed about the enforcement of traffic laws in Chelsea. Cllr. Will Pascall, lead Member at RBkC for Planning and Transport, made a statement on improvements to the Council’s procedures for enforcing the planning laws, construction and construction-traffic management plans, as well as parking and waiting regulations. TfL’s Proposed Changes to Chelsea’s Bus Services The Planning Committee Chairman replied that the Society had objected to any reduction in these bus services and a copy of the Society’s submission had been placed on its website. The MP for Chelsea & Fulham, the Rt. Hon. Greg Hands stated that he had objected to the proposals on behalf of his constituents. He thanked RBkC for its support for this objection. He added that the need to reduce bus services was due to the Mayor’s promise to freeze bus fares if he were elected. 6 THE ANNuAL GENERAL MEETING The Queen’s Head Pub, Tryon Street The Planning Committee chairman replied that he and the member of the Committee for Royal Hospital Ward had visited the pub and had spoken with the owner. They made it clear that the Society wished the building to remain as a pub (or pub/restaurant) and would not support its conversion to residential use. Some residential accommodation as part of the overall development would be acceptable. Work had not yet started. The Committee would contact him the owner for an update on the project. Cyclists on Pavements The Planning Committee chairman replied that whilst cyclists rightly expected their rights to be respected it was important that they respected the rights of others. He had proposed some years ago that if cyclists committed traffic offences their bicycles should be held until they paid a fine: he invited the MP to bring this again to the attention of Parliament. The Closure of King’s Road Cinemas The Planning Committee chairman replied that the Society had been in dialogue with the owners of both cinemas and their architects. Building work would take some time, but on completion we would have two new cinemas, better than the old ones. Work on the Curzon cinema would take extra time due to the need to keep the Waitrose store open. The Manager of Waitrose said that he and his staff would do their best to provide a normal service throughout the works. The Chairman closed the meeting at 7.33pm. 7 Chairman’s Report To the Annual General Meeting of the Chelsea Society Madam Mayor of kensington and Chelsea, vice-Presidents, Member of Parliament, Members of the Council, Members of the Society, Chairmen of other amenity societies and honoured guests, I would like to thank the Members of Council for their dedicated work over the past year. They believe the future of Chelsea is worth fighting for, as enshrined in our principal Object: to preserve and improve the amenities of Chelsea for the public benefit. Chelsea Town Hall 8 THE CHAIRMAN’S report Our Constitution requires three members of Council to retire each year, though they may stand for re-election. Jennifer Grossman, a tireless campaigner on the Crossrail issue, has completed three years’ service as Secretary, despite this coinciding with family illness worsened by perpetual building work right next to her. She is not standing for re-election and we thank her warmly for her contribution to the Society. Construction in Old Church Street (Image: Jane Craven) 9 THE CHAIRMAN’S report Terence

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

That moment when an author dots the last period to his manuscript, and then rises up from the study-chair to shake its many and bulky pages together is almost as exciting an occasion as -when he takes a quire or so of foolscap and sits down to write the first line of it. Many and mingled feelings pervade his mind, and hope and fear vie with one another and alternately overcome one another, until at length the author finds some slight relief for his feelings and a kind of excuse for his book, by writing a preface, in which he states briefly the nature and character of the work, and begs the pardon of the reader for his presumption in undertaking it. A winter in Kashmir must be experienced to be realised.

In the past few decades, however, these mangrove forests have been largely degraded and destroyed during the process of development. The negative environmental and socio-economic impacts on mangrove ecosystems have led many government and non- government agencies, together with civil societies, to launch mangrove conservation and rehabilitation programmes, especially during the 1990s. In the course of such activities, programme staff have faced continual difficulties in identifying plant species growing in the field. Despite a wide availability of mangrove guidebooks in Southeast Asia, none of these sufficiently cover species that, though often associated with mangroves, are not confined to this habitat.

  • 'Reforming Academicians', Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, C
    ‘Reforming Academicians’, Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, c.1948-1959 by Melanie Veasey Doctoral Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018. © Melanie Veasey 2018. For Martin The virtue of the Royal Academy today is that it is a body of men freer than many from the insidious pressures of fashion, who stand somewhat apart from the new and already too powerful ‘establishment’.1 John Rothenstein (1966) 1 Rothenstein, John. Brave Day Hideous Night. London: Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1966, 216. Abstract Page 7 Abstract Post-war sculpture created by members of the Royal Academy of Arts was seemingly marginalised by Keynesian state patronage which privileged a new generation of avant-garde sculptors. This thesis considers whether selected Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeaping and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access ascendant state patronage. Chapter One, ‘The Post-war Expansion of State Patronage’, investigates the existing and shifting parameters of patronage of the visual arts and specifically analyses how this was manifest through innovative temporary sculpture exhibitions. Chapter Two, ‘The Royal Academy Sculpture School’, examines the reasons why the Academicians maintained a conventional fine arts programme of study, in contrast to that of industrial design imposed by Government upon state art institutions for reasons of economic contribution. This chapter also analyses the role of the art-Master including the influence of émigré teachers, prospects for women sculpture students and the post-war scarcity of resources which inspired the use of new materials and techniques.
