sidottu
This is the story of Britain's most challenging special stage rally for a generation. The initial idea was to run a 'proper rally' and that has certainly been achieved through the dedication and determination of Colin Heppenstall, his family and a fantastic team of volunteers.Across 20 years, the Roger Albert Clark Rally has run 15 times. It is an event that has no rival as it recreates a golden era of rallying in the UK when Roger Clark was at his peak, and the original RAC Rally was a multi-day test for every competitor.Since it first ran in 2004, the Roger Albert Clark Rally has grown in stature and following and now has huge competitor interest, big crowds and a vast online following. It is a rally like no other in terms of atmosphere, challenge and sense of achievement for those who get to the finish.This book, with over 500 photographs, many of which have never been seen before, tells the story of each rally and looks at some of the people involved -- both competitors and organisers.The 2023 event was the biggest and toughest yet, covering 350 special stage miles in the forests of England, Scotland, and Wales.For anyone who has been involved in this rally, this book will bring back fabulous memories as well as serving as the definitive record of the first 20 years.

Roger Casement: The Black Diaries - With a Study of His Background, Sexuality, and Irish Political Life

Roger Casement: The Black Diaries - With a Study of His Background, Sexuality, and Irish Political Life

Jeffrey Dudgeon

BELFAST PRESS
2019
nidottu
In this extended and further enhanced 3rd edition, with many more photographs, all Roger Casement's Black Diaries are again published together, including, uniquely, a full version of the erotically-charged 1911 Diary over which London threatened an obscenity prosecution. The volume provides both a comprehensive text of the diaries, with explanations for their cast of characters, famous, infamous, and fleeting, and a context for the author whose significance and seminal role in the political development of independent Ireland has been masked by the debates over authenticity. This remains a uniquely original look at the Irish patriot and humanitarian, hanged in 1916 for treason. It was the same Casement whose reports in 1904 and 1912 on rubber slavery and genocide in King Leopold's Congo and the Peruvian Amazon, reflected in his diaries, that shocked the world.The book also deals with the neglected sides of Casement's life, his involvement in Ulster and Irish politics, his family background in Co. Antrim, his Belfast boyfriend Millar Gordon, and new discoveries about his sociopathic companion, the Norwegian sailor Adler Christensen. There is as well a comprehensive account of the authenticity controversies, Casement's homosexuality, and his time in Africa and South America. Roger Casement had iconic status in life and, after death, was sanctified and vilified in equal measure. His real self was thus obscured. This book combines a rigorous academic study of the public and political Casement (with over 1,200 references and an extensive bibliography updated to 2018), alongside an account of his personal life, sexuality, and consular career, and an informed view of how they all interlocked and originated. It also provides an analysis of his early and key role in the Irish separatist movement, and a full exposition of the controversies that have swirled around him to this day, including attempts made in Dublin to threaten the truth about the Black Diaries."No Roger Casement - No Easter Rising" Casement commissioned the first arms for the IRA in 1914 and again in 1916 while from 1904 he tutored many of the key personnel who by 1921 had obtained a separate Irish state. To know about Roger Casement is to know why Ireland achieved independence and why Ulster stayed separate, remaining for the next century in the UK. This volume therefore provides an insight into the political conflict in the north and suggests how it could be diminished by both learning and respecting each other's stories.

A Note From RogerWhy write a biography? Who cares? What difference can it make? I have been thinking about doing this for a very long time. The idea penetrated my skull when a family office investment advisor kept suggesting I should record my story. I resisted the thought for many months as the prospect of rereading all my weekly letters and extensive travel diaries overwhelmed any urge to start the process. Regardless, encouragement from some children and grandchildren kept the idea alive. After all, I don't have many more years to live and I recall that my father was 90 (I am now 95) when he began writing Reminiscences. Maybe I can document some thoughts before it's too late.About Roger BrownRoger Brown was born in 1925, grew up in Chicago, graduated from Yale University in the 1940s, officered a destroyer escort in WWII, and survived to graduate from Harvard's Business School in 1949. He joined A.G. Becker & Co. that fall as a salesman. Roger played a significant role in the origination of the funds evaluation business. He was elected Senior Vice President and Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee in 1968. Roger briefly retired in 1974 before founding investment firm Harris Associates in 1976. Roger and his wife were married 66 years and together have five children, 18 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.About bioGraphWe believe that life writing is essential to living; that writing life is a privilege, right, and responsibility; that written words captivate the atmosphere of lived experience; that there are as many styles of life writing as there are lives. We are zealous preservers of memory and legacy. More than recollection of ancestors and origins, preservation is pre-serving: a proactive form of service for family, community, and posterity. Our mission is to create narratives that enlighten, entertain, and inspire while preserving stories that are vital to life.

Within a month of his birth, his Victorian Grandparents took over raising Roger while his widowed mother returned to work to support herself and her son. Because of where they lived until the day he started school on his fifth birthday, Roger only met one boy of his age. Being inquisitive, he liked to find out what made things 'tick' including three alarm clocks that never ticked again after he investigated their mechanisms. His Grandfather taught him to use tools and woodworking and also creating in Roger a spirit of adventure by reading him Victorian adventure stories. In 1938 he joined the overcrowded infant's class at St Clares School, Higher Blackley in North Manchester that already had over fifty pupils in every class. Just two days after Britain declared war on Germany, the school was evacuated, Roger to North Wales where he went to live with an impoverished Welsh only speaking family. His experiences included including sharing a bed with the other boys in the family. During this period he rapidly gained a useful smattering of the Welch language. Six weeks later his mother visited him. After finding his living circumstances and in particular that he had to act as the interpreter during her visit, rescued him and took him back to still bomb free Manchester. At home with all the schools closed, his Grandparents continued very successfully his education for over a year. When the Manchester blitz started, his mother took him to live high up in the Pennines at Facit, near Rochdale. When he joined a class in the local school that included several pupils from the same class he had left, it was found that he was ahead of them in English and Arithmetic but he used the wrong methods in arithmetic. Adventures came aplenty during this period, particularly during the long summer holiday that he spent exploring the wild moorland including the army firing ranges. When Hitler, having conquered the whole of Europe except Britain attacked Russia, air raids on Manchester ceased, they returned home. After finding a piece of iron pyrites crystal that could be used to make crystal radio sets in a lump of coal he was breaking up, Roger became fascinated with radio and electrics, making crystal sets, microphones, telephones and electric motors from bits and pieces of tin cans and bell wire. When he was eleven, having passed the City Scholarship examination he suffered six years of classical education that he did not want at two grammar schools to meet his Mother's ambitions for his future he passed the School Certificate Examination in nine subjects and Matriculated. During these years he found challenges and adventures with the Boy Scout becoming the first ever scout in the troop ever to achieve the First Class Scout Badge. The Scout Master immediately promoted him to Troop Leader then took advantage of his new deputy leaving him in charge frequently including the troops week's holiday camping in the Lake District. Still seeking adventures he took up Youth Hostelling both alone and with friends. One adventure found him lost alone in a blizzard in the Welsh Mountains where he spent a night in a shepherd's makeshift shelter. His future had been planned by his parents but he wanted to be involved in radio and electronics and have adventure in his life. Having read all the Biggles Books' he also hoped to find adventure in flying. Immediately he became seventeen and a half and could join any of the Armed Services without Parental Consent, despite family opposition he volunteered to fly in the Royal Air Force as an Air Signaller for the training in Radio Theory as well as Operating; these coincided with his hopes for his future, passed the selection procedure and was accepted. This action was the equivalent to the earlier practice of young men running away to sea. The next volume chronicles his life while serving as an Air Signaller in the Royal Air Force.

This is the second volume in the 'Roger' series chronicling the life of its author. The first volume covers his life before during and after Hitler's war until the day that he left home having volunteered to become an Air Signaller in the Royal Air Force in order to pursue his interest in Radio and Electronics. This part of his biography is self-contained and it is not necessary to have read the earlier volume to appreciate and enjoy this book that covers the next eight years. In 1950 planned major changes in the R.A.F resulted in a significant number of extra air signallers being required to fill their many new roles. To meet this, their training was drastically compressed. Roger was on the first of these highly intensive courses. After electing to spend his service in Coastal Command first converting to Lancasters then the new Shackleton Maritime long range bombers. Having completed two tours of Active Service on 220 Squadron and was then posted to H.Q. Bomber Command, 1 Group, the V Bomber Squadrons for the remainder of his service. During his active service he logged over 1000 hours flying, longest flight 23 hours 45minutes, caught pneumonia from getting soaked rescuing survivors of the Cromer floods, had several frightening flying experiences including surviving when a Shackleton stalled, took part in Joint Anti-Submarine Courses with the Senior Service, spent probably hundreds of hours on Search and Rescue flights, took part in ferrying paratroopers to the Suez Incident and was stranded in Malta, being injured in a crash landing and needed to spend time at Headley Court Rehabilitation Centre for Officers and Aircrew and all the while he pursued his interest in Radio and what became known as Electronic Engineering to the point that when he left the Service he obtained employment as an Electronics Circuit Designer. Later books cover his life after he moved into Electronics Research in the Automotive Industry, contributing significantly to the early developments of electronics in cars and traveling round the World. Foreseeing the demise of British Car Industry he retired to become a Mountain Walking Leader and later a Parisian guide. As his daughter put it, 'Dad, you've had a very full life'. Here you can read some more of his story but with much more to come in the near future.
