“The Student Prince” is a light opera of four acts set in the fictious German kingdom of Karlsburg in the spring of 1860. It opened in December 1924 on Broadway and ran for 608 performances and was the longest running Broadway show of the 1920s. Interestingly it’s success may be in part due to the song “Drinking Song” which had a chorus of “Drink, Drink, Drink” and the fact that at this time the United States was in the grip of Prohibition.
The Newcastle and Maitland Dramatic Art Clubs were founded by Colin Chapman an important local figure who brought theatre to Newcastle and Maitland with the establishment in 1938 of the Colin Chapman Students’ Club (Newcastle Dramatic Art Club) and the Academy of Music in Maitland, Cessnock and other towns.
A singer, teacher, producer, playwright and conductor, Colin himself was a successful singer who won the Operatic Championship in the City of Sydney eisteddfod in 1935 and 1936. Locally he also wrote a column in the Maitland Mercury during the 1930’s called “Voice Culture” where he discussed issues such as the importance of correct breathing, stammering and stuttering and how to achieve success in life with speech and song. Through the hard work and determination of Colin Chapman, Newcastle and Maitland enjoyed decades of theatrical performances and a rich array of musical performances.

Coronation Street (informally known as Corrie) is a British soap opera created by Granada Television and shown on ITV since 9 December 1960.
The programme centres on Coronation Street in Weatherfield, a fictional town based on inner city Salford, its terraced houses, café, corner shop, newsagents, building yard, taxicab office, salon, restaurant, textile factory and the Rovers Return pub. In the show's fictional history, the street was built in the early 1900s and named in honour of the coronation of King Edward VII.
The show typically airs five times a week; Monday and Friday 7.30–8 pm & 8.30–9 pm and Wednesday 7.30–8 pm, however this occasionally varies due to sport or around Christmas and New Year. From late 2017 the show will air six times a week.
The programme was conceived in 1960 by scriptwriter Tony Warren at Granada Televisionin Manchester.
Warren's initial kitchen sink drama proposal was rejected by the station's founder Sidney Bernstein, but he was persuaded by producer Harry Elton to produce the programme for 13 pilot episodes. Within six months of the show's first broadcast, it had become the most-watched programme on British television, and is now a significant part of British culture.
The show has been one of the most lucrative programmes on British commercial television, underpinning the success of Granada Television and ITV.
Coronation Street is made by Granada Television at MediaCity Manchester and shown in all ITV regions, as well as internationally. On 17 September 2010, it became the world's longest-running TV soap opera in production.
On 23 September 2015, Coronation Street was broadcast live to mark ITV's 60th anniversary.
Coronation Street is noted for its depiction of a down-to-earth working class community combined with light-hearted humour, and strong characters.
Christmas in King Street, the Julian Slade Bristol based musical was first performed at the Bristol Old Vic in 1952. It was reprised in 1959 and then in 1972 it was brought back as 'Christmas Back in King Street'. This is a programme cover from the 1972 performance.

Pages 11 and 12
The operetta “Rose Marie” was very well received by a large audience at its three Maitland performances in May 1939. A review in the Maitland Mercury said that both Mr Colin Chapman who played the lead role of Jim Kenyon and Miss Estella de Boshier the ballet mistress “worked extremely hard to give Maitland one of its best musical hits”. Dresses and models from Kerr’s Ltd in Maitland supplied the dresses and models for a dress shop scene in the second act. Colin Chapman’s efforts were later rewarded by the chorus of Rose Marie when they presented him with a clock in July of that year.
A singer, teacher, producer, playwright and conductor, Colin himself was a successful singer who won the Operatic Championship in the City of Sydney Eisteddfod in 1935 and 1936. Locally he also wrote a column in the Maitland Mercury during the 1930’s called “Voice Culture” where he discussed issues such as the importance of correct breathing, stammering and stuttering and how to achieve success in life with speech and song.

The UN-NYG Mentoring Programme is a project initiated by the UN-NYG and led by Ms Amelia Lee Zhi Yi, the UN-NYG Mentoring Coordinator. The programme is implemented with support from the IAEA Office of the Deputy Director General, Ms Mary Alice Hayward, Head of the Department of Management.
The key vision of the mentoring programme is to act as a platform for IAEA staff to strengthen their professional skills at the workplace and improve networking capacity through the cultivation of cross departmental and generational relationships.
The goals of the Mentoring Programme are to:
1. Strengthen staff resources through mutual learning experiences for mentors and mentees, to nurture high performance leaders with the capacity to “give back” at the workplace
2.Develop self-sustaining professional relationships between mentors and mentees that narrow the gap between different departments and age groups at the IAEA
The Learn-to-Swim programme runs from 25th May - 5th June 2014. 45 children and 17 mothers will each receive 10 days instruction. The event is run by Soneva Fushi in partnership with Baa Atoll Education Centre, the school on Eydhafushi.

Provincial Emergency Programme (British Columbia) circa 1976.
The Provincial Emergency Programme (PEP) was the very same entity that was the Provincial Civilian Protection Committee (BC's Civil Defence) of the Second World War
SAR has now come to be associated with all sorts of cool stuff...helicopters and rappelling and hovercraft and boats and all sorts of specialties...Long Line Rescue, Technical Rescue, Confined Space, Swift Water, etc....back then, it was just boots on the ground. If we were lucky, we would get a RCMP Dog Handler from Vancouver after a few days; if we were REALLY lucky, there was a local hunter with his trusty dog. Mostly it was about tromping through really dense bush using the same skills we used to track a deer or a moose. And when we found the poor soul, if he or she was still alive, it was pure Redneck ingenuity that got 'em extricated, and more boots to hump back to wherever base camp was.
The BC Government was directly responsible for wilderness search and rescue - which was the primary mandate of PEP at the time - with volunteers organised locally or regionally, and generally organised into two groups, Rescue or Communications.
The Rescue volunteers, while they had no formal training, were local farmers, hunters, and outdoors enthusiasts who tended to be intimately familiar with the area of operation.
The Communications side was Citizen Band (General Radio Service) operators. There weren't enough Amateur (Ham) operators to make it reliable, and for local communications CB was as good as Ham anyway. Considering the limits of the technology, success was achieved by pure genius and improvisation...for example, there WERE CB repeaters...that was some poor bloke in a 4WD up on a mountain relaying messages....
The Government later moved away from that model to the one that is in place now with local societies or agencies providing the service.
The badge was struck by International Police Equipment Company in Los Angeles. There was some debate about the spelling of "Program" vs "Programme". The former is the American spelling, will the latter was commonly used in Canada at the time. I'm thinking that somebody just missed that when the order was placed....

Front cover from the theatre programme for a production of "Florodora" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in November 1926. The cover was designed by Edwin Wrigglesworth of the Keighley School of Art and Crafts.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "Florodora" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (and a Saturday matinee) from Monday 22nd November 1926. The comic opera had music by Leslie Stuart, a libretto by Owen Hall, and lyrics by E. Boyd Jones and Paul Rubens. The KAODS production was produced and directed by G. Edward Hall, with musical director Joseph Harker.
The story takes place on the paradise-like island of Florodora and then in the Welsh castle of Abercoed. It involves an unscrupulous American Cyrus W. Gilfrain (played by Arthur B. Hird) who now claims to own Florodora and has "distilled" its rare essence for exploitation purposes. The rightful owner of the island has died, and his surviving daughter Dolores (Edith Robson) is unaware of her inheritance. The Englishman handling Gilfrain's distillation process is Frank Abercoed (Arthur G. Ramsden) who has fallen in love with Dolores. Her true identity is discovered by 'Professor' Anthony Tweedlepunch (Ernest Marsden) with whom she then mysteriously disappears. All the characters then reassemble at Gilfrain's purchased family seat at Abercoed Castle and after much subterfuge everyone is partnered off appropriately and the secret of the island is maintained.
The show also starred Jack Crabtree, Louis G. Bacon, Alan Petty, Allan Potter, Edward Caswell, Leonard Jackson, Clarence Haigh, Jack Steele, Hilda Mitchell, Eva Robson, Mabel Feather, Elsie Butterfield, Mrs M. Asquith, Ethel Smith, Evie M. Carr, Peggy Eaton, Nellie Hardwick, Stella Dewhirst, Claire Mitchell, Elsie Pickles, Sallie Corban, Mrs John Spencer and Mrs Percy Taylor.
The 52-page programme was printed by The Keighley Printers Ltd. of High Street, Keighley. It measures approximately 190mm by 255mm, although the interior pages are slightly smaller. The programme was part of an anonymous donation given in 2022.

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
Prayer read by Kathryn Cooper (11 years old) from New Zealand
God of hope, the source of peace and the refuge of all in distress, we remember those you have gathered from the storm of war into the everlasting peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears, bring reconciliation and justice to all peoples, and establish lasting harmony among the nations.
We pray for all members of the armed forces who strive for peace and fight for justice today; bless and keep their families and friends at home awaiting their return. Help us, who today remember the cost of war, to work for a better tomorrow, and bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
National anthem God Defend New Zealand
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
E Ihowā _Atua,
O ngā _iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō _atawhai;

Aotearoa
God of Nations at Thy feet,
in the bonds of love we meet,
hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific’s triple star
from the shafts of strife and war,
make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.
Reading Atatürk’s message to bereaved pilgrims, 1934, read by Ecenur Bilgiç (14 years old) from Turkey
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
National anthem İstiklal Marşı (The Independence March)
Led by Burak Gülşen from Turkey, accompanied by the Massed Bands
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal…
Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
Fear not! For the crimson flag that flies at this dawn, shall not fade,
As long as the last fiery hearth that is ablaze in my country endures.
For that is the star of my nation, which will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely that of my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent!
Come smile upon my heroic race! Why this rage, this fury?
The blood we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.
Remembering Gallipoli a commemoration created by Michael McDermott
Music composed by Michael McDermott
Reading by James McDermott (17 years old) from the United Kingdom
The Attack at Dawn (May, 1915) by Leon Maxwell Gellert (1892–1977)
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
They told us in the early afternoon.
We sit and wait the coming of the sun
We sit in groups, — grey groups that watch the moon.
We stretch our legs and murmur half in sleep
And touch the tips of bayonets and yarn.
Our hands are cold. They strangely grope and creep,
Tugging at ends of straps. We wait the dawn!
Some men come stumbling past in single file.
And scrape the trench’s side and scatter sand.
They trip and curse and go. Perhaps we smile.
We wait the dawn! … The dawn is close at hand!
A gentle rustling runs along the line.
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
A hundred eyes are staring for the sign.
It’s coming! Look! … Our God’s own laughing sun!
Closing prayers by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
Eternal God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed;
Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all, the true love of peace
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the world,
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
and all people may spend their days in security, freedom and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Merciful God
we offer to you the fears in us
that have not yet been cast out by love:
may we accept the hope you have
placed in the hearts of all people,
and live lives of justice, courage and mercy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give is this day our daily bread.
And forgive is our trespasses,
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead is not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
fro ver and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest,
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people,
unity, peace and concord,
and to us and all God’s servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,

Thursday 10 February 2022: Inter-House Sports Day, Javelin - the annual athletics event, part of the Friedlander Shield Inter-House Competition - get the full programme on our website bit.ly/3syAXY6 #SuperaMoras
This is from 1975. Lulu was one of my favourite singers so was great to see her in person. We are downsizing, so I’m going through all of my stuff and getting rid of some things but photographing them before I do. In the late 1980s we lived in London and our landlord was involved with the English National Opera so we were given free tickets to these wonderful events. The theatre programmes are the UK and Australia, mostly from the 1980s and 1990s.

Front cover from the theatre programme for a production of "Veronique" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic Society (formerly the Keighley Savoyards) in February 1911.
Keighley Amateur Operatic Society's production of "Veronique" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights from Monday 20th February 1911. The opera had music by Andre Messager and libretto by A. Vanloo and G. Duval. The English version was by Henry Hamilton, lyrics by Lilian Eldee with alterations and additions by Percy Greenbank. The Director and Stage Manager for the KAOS production was Edwin Bryan of the Savoy Theatre in London.
The action of the opera takes place in Paris in 1840 and centres around excessive flirt Count Florestan de Valiancourt (played by Harry Shackleton), who is compelled by his uncle, Monsieur Loustot (John Pickles) to marry Mademoiselle Helene de Solanges (Lilian Dillingham) in order to curb his nephew's extravagances. Helene overhears Florestan insulting her whilst flirting with florist Madame Coquenard (Mary Bottomley). She resolves to go undercover at the flower shop as 'Veronique', assisted by her aunt. As Veronique, she charms and wins over Florestan, he being unaware of the deceit. Having fallen in love with Veronique, Florestan declares he cannot marry Helene but then all is revealed and everything ends happily.
The show also starred Mrs Holmes, Nellie Riley, Ida M. Smith, Marion Smith, Miss E. Widdop, Miss M. Rishworth, Miss M. E. Hird, J. Bilbrough, A. Barlow, L. Varley, F. Houldsworth, G. C. Hinchliffe, J. Whitehead and Syd Howard.
The 32-page programme was printed by The Borough Printing Works Co. Ltd. of Cavendish Street, Keighley. It measures approximately 224 mm by 140 mm. The programme was part of an anonymous donation given in 2022.
The Jaguar programme began in the early 1960s, in response to a British requirement (Air Staff Target 362) for an advanced supersonic jet trainer to replace the Folland Gnat T1 and Hawker Hunter T7, and a French requirement (ECAT or École de Combat et d'Appui Tactique, "Tactical Combat Support Trainer") for a cheap, subsonic dual role trainer and light attack aircraft to replace the Fouga Magister, Lockheed T-33 and Dassault Mystère IV. In both countries several companies tendered designs: BAC, Hunting, Hawker Siddeley and Folland in Britain; Breguet, Potez, Sud-Aviation, Nord, and Dassault from France. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in May 1965 for the two countries to develop two aircraft, a trainer based on the ECAT, and the larger AFVG (Anglo-French Variable Geometry).
Cross-channel negotiations led to the formation of SEPECAT (Société Européenne de Production de l'Avion d'École de Combat et d'Appui Tactique – the "European company for the production of a combat trainer and tactical support aircraft") in 1966 as a joint venture between Breguet and the British Aircraft Corporation to produce the airframe. Though based in part on the Breguet, using the same basic configuration and an innovative French-designed landing gear, the Jaguar was built incorporating major elements of design from BAC, notably the wing and high lift devices.
Production of components would be split between Breguet and BAC, and the aircraft themselves would be assembled on two production lines; one in the UK and one in France, To avoid any duplication of work, each aircraft component had only one source. The British light strike/tactical support versions were the most demanding design, requiring supersonic performance, superior avionics, a cutting edge nav/attack system of more accuracy and complexity than the French version, moving map display, laser range-finder and marked-target seeker (LRMTS). As a result, the initial Br.121 design needed a thinner wing, redesigned fuselage, a higher rear cockpit, and after-burning engines. While putting on smiling faces for the public, maintaining the illusion of a shared design, the British design departed from the French sub-sonic Breguet 121 to such a degree that it was effectively a new design.
A separate partnership was formed between Rolls-Royce and Turbomeca to develop the Adour afterburning turbofan engine. The Br.121 was proposed with Turbomeca's Tourmalet engine for ECAT but Breguet preferred the RR RB.172 and their joint venture would use elements of both. The new engine, which would be used for the AFVG as well, would be built in Derby and Tarnos.
Previous collaborative efforts between Britain and France had been complicated – the AFVG programme ended in cancellation, and controversy surrounded the development of the supersonic airliner Concorde. Whilst the technical collaboration between BAC and Breguet went well, when Dassault took over Breguet in 1971 it encouraged acceptance of its own designs, such as the Super Étendard naval attack aircraft and the Mirage F1, for which it would receive more profit, over the Anglo-French Jaguar.
The initial plan was for Britain to buy 150 Jaguar "B" trainers, with its strike requirements being met by the advanced BAC-Dassault AFVG aircraft, with France to buy 75 "E" trainers (école) and 75 "A" single-seat strike attack aircraft (appui). Dassault favoured its own Mirage G aircraft above the collaborative AFVG, and in June 1967, France cancelled the AFVG on cost grounds. This left a gap in the RAF's planned strike capabilities for the 1970s at the same time as France's cancellation of the AFVG, Germany was expressing a serious interest in the Jaguar and thus the design became more oriented towards the low-level strike role.
With the cancellation of both the BAC TSR-2 tactical strike aircraft and Hawker Siddeley P.1154 supersonic V/STOL fighter, the RAF were looking increasingly hard at their future light strike needs and realizing that they now needed more than just advanced trainers with some secondary counter insurgency capability. At this point, the RAF's proposed strike fleet was to be the American General Dynamics F-111s plus the AFVG for lighter strike purposes. There was concern that both F-111 and AFVG were high risk projects and with the French already planning on a strike role for the Jaguar, there was an opportunity to introduce a credible backup plan for the RAF's future strike needs – the Jaguar. As a result, by October 1970, the RAF's requirements had changed to 165 single-seat strike aircraft and 35 trainers.
The Jaguar was to replace the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR2 in the close air support, tactical reconnaissance and tactical strike roles, freeing the Phantom to be used for air defence. Both the French and British trainer requirements had developed significantly, and were eventually fulfilled instead by the Alpha Jet and Hawker Siddeley Hawk respectively. The French, meanwhile, had chosen the Jaguar to replace the Aeronavale's Dassault Étendard IV, and increased their order to include an initial 40 of a carrier-capable maritime version of the Jaguar, the Jaguar M. From these apparently disparate aims would come a single and entirely different aircraft: relatively high-tech, supersonic, and optimised for ground-attack in a high-threat environment.
