THE UK COACH RALLY IS AT BLACKPOOL THIS WEEKEND, SHAME ABOUT THE WEATHER!
AS I AM UNLIKELY TO ATTEND ANY MORE COACH RALLIES I HAVE SCANNED THE COVERS AND PAGES OF INTEREST OF PREVIOUS RALLIES BEFORE I DISPOSE OF THEM.
Chartham, Kent.
Another Saturday, another run of the Golden Arrow. Decided to venture out to Chartham today in a bid to come up with a different composition, something with a bit of history to it and these two shots are the result.
Taken from the same spot, just a second or two apart, one is a study of that fine beast, 34067 'Tangmere' hauling the 'Golden Arrow', whilst the other places greater emphasis on Chartham's fine clapboard Signal Box, the 'Golden Arrow' merely adding to the scene.
The initial primitive signalling at Chartham was improved upon in 1888, when the SER undertook an in-house upgrade programme involving the erection of a signal box. The structure was typically SER: two storeys in height, wholly clapboard in construction and comprising a slated pyramid-shaped roof with sash-style windows.
It has survived various signalling upgrades over the years and has now been reduced to the status of a 'Gate Box', but along with perhaps a few brick sections of the platforms, it remains as sole testament to the history of the SER at Chartham.
The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•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
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
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.
I recently got the job of scanning a batch of football programmes, magazines and comics for sale on www.ebay.co.uk under the seller name of the_genies_cave. I thought that they might have a wider interest. Further, I discovered a Flickr group dedicated to them!

UKTI Nigeria in partnership with Shell Petroleum Nigeria hosted a 4 day oil and gas trade mission to the market from 27th -30th of July 2015. The mission was attended by 15 UK companies and offered them the opportunity to meet major operators and potential partners within the supply chain.

Saw this programme on telly the other day where Tommy Walsh built this eco house in March Cambridgeshire.
He built it for £60,000 and the site cost £60,000.
Thought we would go there because the programme featured a fabulous little church that was next door.
This church has a wonderful roof absolutely covered in the most beautiful hand carved angels.
Whilst we were there, we had a lovely warming cup of sweet tea served up by one of the regular church goers.
Ooh and a kit-kat.

Leigh Miners Rangers 36 Egremont Rangers 24
Gate £2.50
Atten 150ish
Leigh Miners Rangers are one of the most respected amateur rugby league clubs in the country, with a proud history of producing talented players who go on to make a name for themselves in the professional game. It is not hard to see why because the the whole attitude around the Club is very impressive.
Today's game against the tough tackling visitors from Cumbria was a ding-dong, rip-roaring, end to end crackerjack of a game. A real credit to the league.
Miners took a 20-6 HT lead but Egremont came powering back in the 2nd Half to get within two points. From then on it was end to end action with Miners securing the victory after enduring a sustained period of Egremont pressure and numerous crunching tackles.
Twist Lane is a great venue. Situated just a 5-Iron away from the Leigh Sports Village the place was a hive of activity. Upon arrival the welcome given by the clubs officials was very impressive and made you feel at home right away. The Club produces a very good programme of decent reading and and Award Wining Website all put together by the very professional and very likeable Jeff who like many at this level gives up his time for the club for love,not money. He does a brillaint job.
A special mention to Joint 1st team Managers Allan & Paul who are both fantastic guys and could not be more welcoming. They showed impressive class.
As Chubby Checker used to sing "Let's do the Twist again ...like we did this Summer .." and as a result of today's experience i certainly will be coming to Twist Lane sooner, rather than later, as it is simply superb in everyway.
Best RL day out this season by far.
