There were times during 2018 when I thought we would be able to continue this annual competition. Funding to councils and community groups has ben seriously depleted over the last few years, making it difficult for many much needed organisations to continue; and we were in that category.Thankfully, earlier this year, a funding award was found enabling us to continue encouring our county's young people to let their imagination fly and enjoy writing. With the support of families, teachers, acclaimed and award winning authors and poets, I am delighted to present this, our eleventh volume of 'Nottinghamshire Children Tell Tales'. It has been a great pleasure, and an honour, to get to know so many young people over the last eleven years, who have the potential to be our great authors of the future and maintain the remarkable reputation for literature Nottinghamshire has long held.- Julie Malone, Founder and President, New Writers UK
Operation Pluto - Pipe Lines Under The Ocean - was a highly ambitious engineering project to design, develop and construct undersea pipelines and huge pumping stations. These would pump petroleum fuel under the English Channel to support Operation OVERLORD, the Allied invasion of Normandy commencing on 6th June 1944.The route that PLUTO took across the Isle of Wight started at the Thorness beach terminal and a pumping station at Whippance Farm. Then over 14 miles it stretched across the Island, looping around Parkhurst Forest and Newport to eventually arrive at a huge storage tank hidden in Hungerberry Wood above Shanklin. From there pipes fed two pumping stations, one housed around a derelict hotel in Shanklin, the other in a part demolished Victorian fort and a golf clubhouse at Sandown. From there, 72 miles away in Europe, the Allied forces desperately needed fuel.Today, 75 years on, the route of the pipeline and the buildings associated with PLUTO have all but disappeared. But if you look closely, there still are tantalising clues spread across the Island. I thoroughly enjoy walking for its own sake, but it is sometimes nice to have a purpose, if not an excuse. So this book offers the reader 25 guided walks and detailed maps to find what still survives of the great pipeline and the pumping stations; and in doing so to plot its course. Wherever PLUTO crossed the path there was usually a unique marker. They are still out there, waiting to be discovered.The whole PLUTO project was massive undertaking. It was rapid, rushed and at times improvised. It was also at the very cutting edge of what was possible. It was always Top Secret.In the end, PLUTO was not the success that saved the Allied invasion, and in truth, it was probably a 'pipeline too far'. Immediately after the war a propaganda campaign actively sought to justify the huge expenditure of man hours and resources just before the invasion and D-Day.But none of this should detract from our admiration for the magnificent operation and the men and women who gave their all to make it happen. It came tantalizingly close to fully supporting the Allies victory, but was ultimately beaten by the vagaries of war.This then is the real story of PLUTO. A Ramble with a Purpose.
Teaching my dyslexic son to have confidence in himself, was like hitting my head against an unbreakable brick wall.Believing in my own abilities as a child was equally an impossibility, due to my severe dyslexia and academic difficulties in school.How could I possibly be brave? How could he either?When a child hears from their parents, their teachers and their friends that they can't achieve certain endeavors, they slowly begin to believe this affirmation and it inevitably leads to self doubt and failure.In order to change my son's line of thought, I sat with him and created this book of self-belief, kindness to others and most importantly, self love and appreciation.I noticed how as he read it constantly, his confidence slowly began to grow. He started to believe in himself, and the result slowly emerged into the ability to make friends, the capacity to have courage and the vigor to work harder in school.And so it was important for me to share this amazing book with the world.My hope is that kids of all ages can read it not just once or twice, but all the time, so that the positive declarations read out loud can be imbedded in their subconscious.Children all over the world need to understand that all the strength that they need is within them, despite what others might say or think, and regardless of any disabilities that they might be struggling with.A child can then ask the question:Am I enough to be me?And the delightful reply would be:Oh yes I am!
