PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the ground, and this is all done for another year with crops being sown in pretty much ideal conditions. With the help of Storm Callum it has certainly been watered, I'm not sure about being fed however. Having been somewhat sceptical in the past about Climate Change, my view may well be changing  Look at the storms happening, around the world, Indonesia, Florida, Majorca and Portugal, it makes you wonder!

Another busy month, starting with the visit from Michelle Skeer the recently appointed Chief Police Constable, a Local Lass done well! Our own Trevor Green gave us an insight into The B Specials or The Ulster Special Constabulary as they were known. Rachel Rodway from Carlisle Food Bank came to share her thoughts for the need for such places, and to express her appreciation for the help the Club gives in transporting the surplus bread etc from Routledges to Food Bank Centre.

Our Youth Speaks Competition once again excelled with five teams reminding us that there are many bright young people for us to be proud and optimistic about. Thanks to Stephen and his team for making the evening a success. Storm Callum had passed through the County before the walkers set of along the side of Derwentwater on the annual Autumn Walk. I gather it was enjoyed by all, as was the excellent lunch which followed at The Skiddaw Hotel, thanks to Bob for organising the second walk of this year.

The repeat of a visit to Borderway Cattle Market was again full of interest, thanks to Heather Pritchard for taking time out for us again, I believe Rotarians kept hands safely in their pockets, and therefore did not need to round up some beasts at the end of the day!

Congratulations are due to our winning golf team Malcolm, David H, Peter Y,

& Joe for their success at Penrith Rotary Club Golf Day. It was good to catch up with Bryan Dexter who joined us for lunch a few weeks ago, as you may have gathered he was in the City to join in the 50 year celebrations of Trinity School. It was back to Penrith with Malcolm, this time with Brenda to attend Penrith's Annual Charter Dinner. An enjoyable evening, good food, good company just a shame the speakers had to use a hand held microphone, sometimes you heard them sometimes you didn't!

I gather there were mixed feelings after the first round of the District Quiz, disappointment to have been beaten, and by quite a margin, but relief there would not be the possibility of a long journey for the next round!

Our own Charter Night is on 23^rd November and it promises to be an excellent evening. The menu is printed at the end of this edition of The Borderer – please put your menu choices in the Blue Book.

I expect by the time you read this the clocks will have changed, and that means we are only days away from our first taste of 'The Shepherds' soup in this Rotary Year, enjoy!!!!

IAN WATSON

PRESIDENT

Seen on a fridge magnet

“Nothing is truly broken until your Dad has tried to fix it.”

About 17 members enjoyed a pleasant walk and Sunday lunch on 14^th October, despite the previous day’s torrential rain!

A party of 15 members and guests (plus Robin and Jenny's dog) braved the elements and road conditions to take part in the Autumn Walk at Keswick on 14 October. After the torrential downpours of the previous two days, fortunately the rain had abated just in time.

We were able to proceed from the car park by Theatre by the Lake to Friar's Crag then edge alongside the flooded shoreline of Derwent Water. The only obstacle to our progress was some flooding towards the furthest part of our planned route. Instead we took the short cut to Borrowdale Road and back to the car park. In the circumstances, the diversion was just a minor inconvenience.

Lunch was enjoyed at The Skiddaw Hotel in Keswick.

BOB MATHER

THE CHIEF CONSTABLE

Wow, what a career and in such a short time!

Michelle Skeer, a Cumbrian lass, educated at Newman school Carlisle surprised her family and friends by applying to be a Police Constable.

In 1990 she was duly admitted into the Force and performed a number of uniformed tasks before moving into the Criminal investigation Department, an area which was her particular passion.

There then followed a period of rapid promotions, punctuated with the birth of her three children. Many achievements also followed, finally being awarded the Queen’s Policing Medal for her distinguished service in 2017.

To be appointed the Chief Constable of our County, her home patch, has been the most rewarding of all her promotions and a position she holds with obvious pride.

Following her presentation to our Club, Michelle answered a number of questions giving Rotarians and guests an insight into the implications of Police budget cuts and the period of austerity. She referred to her excellent relationship with Peter McCall the Cumbrian Police Commissioner, a situation not always the case throughout other parts of the Country. Michelle was also asked to give her opinion and that of the Police Force regarding the Judiciary and the alleged lenient sentencing of criminals. Despite what we might think, Michelle indicated an understanding of the difficult position encountered by our judges and magistrates in this respect.

In conclusion, Michelle expressed her wish to leave a legacy within the Cumbrian Police Force of financial stability, no easy task in these days of such uncertainty.’

Working in the Health service.

The Government came up with a New Health Plan which was heavily promoted by Managers.

BUT

The Allergists voted to scratch it, whilst the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of gut feeling about it, the Neurologists thought the administration had a lot of nerve. The Obstetricians felt they were labouring under a misconception.

Pathologists shouted “over my dead body “while the Paediatricians said “O grow up!” The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was mad, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing, Pharmacists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said “This puts a whole new face on the matter”.

The Anaesthetists thought the idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say No.  The Dentists found nothing to get their teeth into.

YOUTH SPEAKS 2018

SENIOR WINNERS – Austin Friars

Members were treated to an evening of outstanding public speaking by the five teams who entered this year’s competition. 

Trinity were first to speak, and their topic was ‘The Lost Art of Letter Writing’.  Their speaker, Annika Browa, spoke with clarity and a ready wit and her colleagues won Best Chairman (Scott Brierley) and Best Vote of Thanks (Lily Harper).  The youngsters from Newman were next – the only entrants in the ‘Intermediate’ category.  Jake Robinson tackled ‘RMS Titanic – an avoidable tragedy?’, using his research to give the audience new insights into a well-known story.

The first Austin Friars team followed, with their Speaker, Francisca Boyling, giving the audience the benefit of her first-hand experience of Poverty, through her family connections with South America.   William Howard School challenged their listeners on ‘the effect of plastics on the environment’, showing that they had done extensive research into the mounting problems of plastic pollution.  Finally, the second Austin Friars team held forth on the importance of ‘Free Speech’ and the many threats against it.  Their Speaker, Marcus Grogan, was adjudged ‘Best Speaker’ on the night. 

The Club was very fortunate to have available the expertise of the Carlisle Speakers Club, who provided the judges and beautifully designed framed pennants for the Winners and Runners-Up were kindly provided by Carlisle Embroidery.

GOLF TROPHY

Our team of Malcolm Metcalfe David Hoggard, Peter Yates and Joe Watt receive the trophy that they won at Penrith Rotary Club’s Charity Golf Tournament from Nick Capron, President of Penrith Rotary Club.

Peter Yates also won the prize for the ‘Nearest to the pin’

The prize was originally presented to another Rotary Club but because of a minor administrative error, the Penrith Club had to recover the Cup them and represent it to our brilliant team.

This is the second year in a row that our team won the trophy which carries with it a round of golf, for all team members, at the rather exclusive golf course at Dalmahoy near Edinburgh. Good for them!

HARRISON & HETHERINGTON

Borderway Mart Visit

The thought of spending a morning at the local livestock mart may, in some minds, have brought forward Border Fine Arts – type images of green fields and cows being led around wooden railed rings by their owners wearing tweed suits and their best caps.  The reality that greeted us however was that of a 21^st Century, multi – million pound business turning over in excess of 800,000 head of livestock and employing some 300 staff across its 9 sites in Northern England and Southern Scotland.

Heather Pritchard’s job title is Pedigree Sales and Marketing Manager for Harrison and Hetherington but as our President pointed out at the start of the tour, she is also the person who knows H&H inside out and after 40 years service, is well placed to see that everything runs smoothly.  Heather gave us a thoroughly interesting introduction covering the history of the firm including the coming together of two livestock auctions (one operated by Mr Richard Harrison and the other by Mr George Hetherington) in 1897.  Progression resulted in H&H becoming the largest company of its type in the UK in 2015.  Pedigree sales is Heather’s area of expertise and she outlined some of the details in a typical pedigree  sale catalogue where potential purchasers of high valued cattle and sheep study the bloodlines of grandparents and beyond  before making a purchase with a view  to improving the quality of their own flock or herd

We attended H&H on a fairly busy Wednesday morning where dairy cows were making around the £1200 - £1400 which is fairly typical at present.  This perhaps gives an insight into the type of investment needed to establish a farm nowadays and this is without having first to buy the farm or pay the rent and buy some machinery.  President Ian thanked Heather for showing us around one of Carlisle’s most important and successful businesses.

THE FIRESHOW

FROM ANDREW MEGGS, Rotary Club of Carlisle South

Next month begins with the annual Fireshow when the club collects on behalf of the Mayor of Carlisle's Charity Fund. This year's event takes place on Saturday 3rd with us on duty between 5pm and 9pm in and around Bitts Park. We are prepared to make a donation to your club from our half of the collection on a pro-rata basis of collectors present.

The following weekend sees a number of events connected with the 100 anniversary of the Great War Armistice which includes many events at the castle on Saturday 10th. We have been asked to marshal the route of the torch light procession from the castle to the old town hall, where the Mayor will re-enact the announcement of peace. This will involve us between 4pm and 5:30pm handing out glow-sticks (torches), flags and song sheets as well as lining the route and joining the procession.

If any of your club members and/or friends & family can help us out at any of these events please let Michael Pearson know by email.

Yours in Rotary

We reproduce in full Trevor’s impartial talk on the B Specials as much of it is still relevant today.

THE FORMATION AND EARLY YEARS OF THE ULSTER SPECIAL CONSTABULARY

Oct 1920 – July/Aug 1922

In his talk Trevor Green said that he would be looking at the formation and early years of the Ulster Special Constabulary of which the B–Specials were a part, mentioning that he thought it was fair to say that the B Specials over the years had not had a good press. From a Nationalist point of view the Specials were and still are seen as the sectarian arm of the NI Government, Unionists on the other hand tend to feel that the Specials saved NI from anarchy and from being overrun by the IRA. If we look at Ireland between 1919 and 1922, we can get some idea as to why these differing views should have emerged.

During the course of 1919–1920 most of Ireland began to slide into anarchy, as the IRA fought it out with the forces of the British Crown in a vicious guerrilla war. Both sides resorted to ambush, assassination, reprisals and wholesale destruction of property. 

Once it became apparent that the British Government was committed to implementing a form of Home Rule in Ireland that was much more generous than what had been on offer before 1914, Unionists in Ulster directed their efforts towards the partition of Ireland. They aimed to create Northern Ireland as an autonomous region within the UK. The new region would consist of the six counties of Ulster which the unionists felt they could comfortably control. This type of Partition was enacted by Westminster in the Government of Ireland Act 1920.

The main reason for the formation of the USC was that violence in the north of Ireland was increasing during the summer of 1920. With police and soldiers being drawn into combating insurgency in the south and west, unionists wanted a force which would combat the IRA and also help the under-strength RIC with normal police duties. As well as that many unionists did not trust the RIC which being an all – Ireland force was mainly Roman Catholic; there was also a need to control the unionist paramilitary groups. James Craig, later PM of Northern Ireland, suggested a new volunteer constabulary, organised on military lines, raised from the loyal population and armed for duty in the 6 County area only. He recommended that the UVF, the unionist militia formed in 1912 should be used for this purpose and UVF units were incorporated into the USC en masse.

The idea of a volunteer police force appealed to the British PM, David Lloyd George: it was cheap and it did not need new legislation. Special Constabulary Acts had been already been passed in 1832 and again in 1914. The formation of the USC was therefore announced on 22 Oct 1920.

The composition of the USC was overwhelmingly Protestant and unionist for several reasons. First of all a number of informal, unionist constabulary groups had already been established in Belfast, Fermanagh and Antrim to defend unionist areas against IRA incursions. In October 1920 Westminster published details of the new special constabulary which was to comprise 3 categories:

A Specials:  these were paid and full time but could only serve in the police division where they lived. They had the same arms and uniform as the newly created RUC. Originally 5,500 members

B Specials: these were part time and unpaid, except for boot and clothing allowances. Same arms and uniform as the new RUC, they usually did one night’s duty per week. Originally 19,000 members.

C Specials:  unpaid, non-uniformed reserve force only called out and armed in case of emergency. Originally 7,500 members.

By 1922 the duties of the Specials included combatting guerrilla operations of the IRA and suppression of local IRA in rural areas. In addition they were used to prevent border incursion, arms smuggling and escape of fugitives. As well as acting as auxiliaries to the police, the USC were effectively an army under the control of the NI administration

Deployment of the USC during the Anglo–Irish War, (1920–1922) provided the NI Government, therefore, with its own territorial militia to combat the IRA in the 6 Counties. The USC’s most intense period of deployment was in the first half of 1922 when conditions of low intensity war existed along the border between the Irish Free State and the 6 Counties controlled by the NI Government. The conduct of the USC towards the Nationalist/RC population became an issue on several occasions,  

After the Truce between the IRA and the British Government in June 1921 the USC was demobilised while peace talks were in progress. However, in November 1921 the force was remobilised when security was transferred from London to the NI Government, 

The Anglo Irish Treaty in December 1921 agreed the partition of Ireland between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. In spite of an agreement between the leaders of the Irish Free State and the Northern Authorities, the IRA continued offensive operations along the Border. This involved attacking police barracks, burning commercial buildings and making large scale incursions into NI. The main job of counter insurgency, however, fell to the Special Constabulary, the B – Specials, while the new RUC (formed on 1 June 1922) patrolled the interior. 49 Special Constables were killed during the ‘Border War’.

As well as action against the IRA the USC seems also to have been involved in several reprisal attacks on Roman Catholic civilians.  In May 1922 in revenge for the deaths of 9 RIC men in counties Londonderry and Tyrone, B - Specials are alleged to have killed 9 Roman Catholic civilians in the area. No one was ever made amenable for any of these killings.

The conflict along the Border and within NI never ended formally but petered out with outbreak of the Civil War in the Free State, late in 1922, and the wholesale arrest and internment of IRA activists in NI and the Irish Free State. In Northern Ireland 263 IRA men were interned on a prison ship in Belfast Lough, called the HMS Argenta

By July/August 1922 the IRA in NI had been defeated. The A Specials were dispensed with and the C Specials were never heard of again. Only the B Specials remained and functioned as a permanent reserve force, armed and uniformed in the same manner as the RUC. Their effectiveness in this counter insurgency war was revealed when the OC of the IRA Northern Division said that deployment of the B Specials had forced him to abandon large scale IRA actions throughout Northern Ireland in the late summer of 1922.

Assessments of the Ulster Special Constabulary’s role in the conflict with the IRA vary. Historian Tim Pat Coogan wrote that ‘The B Specials were the rock on which any movement by the IRA in the North inevitably foundered.’ Unionists argue that the Special Constabulary saved NI from being overrun by the IRA and helped establish stable government in the North. Nationalists, however, have judged that from the start the B – Specials’ treatment of the RC community, including widespread harassment and a significant number of reprisal killings, permanently alienated the RC community from the B - Specials in particular and from the NI Government in general. It was this alienation which was to lead to the start of the Troubles in 1969 and the eventual disbandment of the B - Specials in 1970.In spite of the Special Constabulary’s success against the IRA in the period 1920 -1922, the continued existence of a partisan force like the B – Specials meant that the NI Government could never claim the full support of over one third of the population in the area it controlled.

However, all that is a tale for another day.

CAR PARKING AT THE SHEPHERDS’ INN

As customers of The Shepherds we are invited to park in the spaces along their boundary with Lloyd Land Rover and we can also park in front and longside their premises.

The carpark across the road from The Shepherds is now open and the Pioneer spaces are available for customer parking in the evening only. They are used by Pioneer staff during normal office hours.

The rest of the new car park is available for the general public on a (hefty!) pay and display basis, but be warned that there are number plate recognition cameras at the entrance/exit.

CARLISLE FOODBANK

Carlisle Foodbank now gives out 6,000 food parcels each year and one-third of these are for children.

‘Some children have had no breakfast and it is not worth teaching them before they have eaten a decent school lunch.’

Rachel Rodway, organizer of the Carlisle Foodbank, said that she was most grateful to the members of our Club who collect bread from Routledges. The Foodbank also collect crates of surplus food from Marks & Spencer and Greggs which actually saves those firms the cost of sending that food to landfill. The charity also had collection bins in Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury and, at this time of year, they had many donations from Harvest Festivals both at churches and schools.

Rachel said that the Foodbank were working with the Soroptimists on Period Poverty, providing free tampons.

Instant mash was a boon – it provided carbohydrate for people without a cooker. She believed that Universal Credit was unacceptable – claimants now had to wait for 5 weeks for their benefit and it was paid to the principal claimant, usually the man of the house who was unused to receiving large lump sums, unable to budget and often spending cash for housekeeping on other things. These people were easy prey for the local loan sharks.  

The Foodbank had recently moved from The Salvation Army building to The Nisi Prius building. They had plenty of space there, but the entrance was very public and some claimants were ashamed to be seen leaving the building with food bags.

AN OLD FRIEND VISITS

Bryan Dexter, a past member of our club and a previous headmaster of Trinity School, joined us for lunch while he was in Carlisle for the 50^th Anniversary celebrations for the formation of Trinity School.

He was reminded that he set up the Club’s website in the late 1990ies when the World Wide Web was in its infancy and in addition wrote the site in HTML – some achievement!

Bryan now lives in Darley, North Yorkshire

Tuesday 23^rd October saw our opening round of the District Quiz with high hopes that it would be the start of a run to the final next year. We were drawn against Carlisle Castle  - a club noted for it’s ‘younger’ members who we thought could not possibly have enjoyed the vast years of knowledge accumulated by our more ‘shall we say’ ‘experienced’ team of Brian Armstrong, Stephen Higgs, Tom Dawson and Hugh Nicholson-Walker.  In the event the age difference on the night was not that great.

The evening started with a selection of sandwiches, chips and tea/coffee shared with the visiting team, their supporters, Quizmaster ADG Brian White from Carlisle South, Time Keeper Phil, Scorer Joe and yours truly.

It is true to say we didn’t get off to a great start, being 13-22 down after the first two rounds of General Knowledge and Literature. However as memories clicked into gear a further round of General Knowledge and the introduction of History brought rich rewards and by the end of round 4 our team was leading 34-30. After more General Knowledge rounds and  Sports we had stretched our lead to 6 points at 54-48 at round 7.

And so to round 8 – ‘Food and Drink’ surely the team’s speciality subjects and a march to victory was in sight. Not so – achieving only 3 points against 13 for Castle and an overall deficit of 4 going into round 9. A low scoring of round of 6-6 followed and with fatigue setting in the last round went to Carlisle Castle who ended victors with a final score of 77 points  to 68.

Despite the result it was a most enjoyable evening and my thanks to all who participated, helped and supported the event.

WE NOW OWN A BELL FOR SANTA!!

Elizabeth and John Mallinson have presented a Santa Bell to our Michael Pearson Chairman of Community & Club Projects Committee.

For the past few years we have borrowed a bell which was a family heirloom and, with all due respect to Santa and his elves, some of us have felt a bit nervous of losing it, especially on dark rainy nights.

Elizabeth and John Mallinson have now put matters right and bought a brand new bell with a very solid clapper. So Santa can now proclaim his presence safe in the knowledge that it’s our very own Rotary hand bell that he is knocking the clapper out of!!

THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH.. “

The meaning of life is to find your gift

The purpose of life is to share it.

                                                ……………………

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Brian says that the tickets for this epic evening are now fully booked. BUT more tickets may be available!  See Brian

It promises to be an excellent evening!

POETS’     CORNER

Just a reminder that although the clocks have just gone back, Spring is round the corner of the long winter corridor.

 Spring is Just Okay

Spring has sprung, the time has come, for the greening of the trees

A time of change, renewal and growth for my allergies

Like everything else in this great world, Spring has its pluses and minuses

But its features are quite singular when it comes to my poor sinuses

A beautiful time of blossoms and buds, new branches and blue skies

But I can’t enjoy them one little bit through my oozing, watery eyes

A neti pot, a nasal rinse, I’ll try them, yes I will

I’ll even take a 24-hour non-drowsy worthless pill

So listen cheerleaders of flowers and sun, to you I must disclose

Spring is not great for all of us, especially my nose

Phil Cornish

WISHING WELL
