I managed to bring my lens purchasing programme forward by about six months and this weekend I purchased two new lenses for my Sony A7RMk2. One was the 55mm used for this photograph and the second was the Sony 90mm Macro which is a bit more difficult to use correctly. The FE 55mm F1.8 can also be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount bodies, on which it will behave like a classic short telephoto 'portrait' lens. Later next week I will test to see how well it works with my old NEX-7.

•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society

25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Theatre programme for a production of 'Arsenic and Old Lace', by Joseph Kesselring. Performed by The Lawrence Williamson Players at the Hippodrome and Queen's Theatre, Keighley, from Monday 22nd September 1947. It ran for six nights, including a Wednesday matinee and two performances on the Saturday evening.
The Lawrence-Williamson Players were in residence at the Hippodrome throughout the summer and autumn of 1947. This particular production starred Ann Jackson, Leonard Clarke, Arthur Rees, Geoffrey Kellett, Margaret Lloyd, Enid Irvin, Donald Morley, Stanley Collings, Arnold Sutcliffe, Adam O'Riordan and John Kinsella. Piano accompaniment was provided by Irene Marriner and Margaret Rothwell. The play was produced by Arthur Rees. Furniture for the production was loaned by Messrs. Grays (Furnishers) Ltd. of Church Green, while electrical equipment and radio was loaned by Bacon & Coates Ltd. of Royal Arcade.
The play was previewed in the Keighley News of 20th September 1947: "In the comedy-thriller 'Arsenic and Old Lace', to be presented by the Lawrence-Williamson Players next week, a character remarks that 'Here's a strange taint in the Brewater blood. If you knew my family it's what you woulkd expect of Strondberg had written 'Hellza Poppin'.' The remark could have been made equally well of this sinister, bizarre and ludicrously funny play. The theatregoer writhes in his seat with laughter and the next moment the laugh is frozen on his face and turned to a gasp of horror. The play has been filmed, but the stage is the only medium for its true portrayal. An augmented cast and special scenery have been secured for this notable production."
The programme also carries adverts for L. B. Lockwood & Co. (carpets and curtains) of Bradford; Timothy Taylor's Better Beers from Knowle Spring Brewery; Thomas Whitehead & Son (Tanners) Ltd. of Church Green; Dobson's Health Food & Herbal Store of Bow Street; Airways Taxis (proprietor J. Watkinson); R. Dewhurst (tobacconist) of Silsden; Sun Street Printing Works (Keighley) Ltd.; and E. & T. Wall Ltd. (wine merchants) of Hanover Street.
The original programme was donated to Keighley and District Local History Society by Tim Neal in August 2020. It is held in the History Society's physical archive.
