THE 2005-2006 LECTURES AND VISITS PROGRAMME The over-arching theme for the 2005-2006 lecture season is Recording Heraldry. This takes the Basic Heraldry module of the 2004- 2005 season a stage further and will give members an insight into British and foreign recording of heraldry. The sponsored lectures in the forthcoming season start with the Mark Elvins Lecture, traditionally on a religious theme: this will be on the impact of the Reformation on German heraldry. For the Constance Egan Lecture Cecil Humphery-Smith will talk on a Japanese Armorial. The John Brooke-Little lecture will be by Patrick Cracroft-Brennan on the stall plates of the Knights of the Garter. The final sponsored lecture, that of the Worshipful Company of Scriveners, will be given by the retiring Chairman of Council, Dr Malcolm Golin. This year being the 200th Anniversary of our greatest naval victory, Somerset Herald has kindly agreed to lecture in Trafalgar month on the heraldry of the victors of Trafalgar. NORFOLK HISTORY QUIZ Lectures are included in the annual subscription, but an informal retiring collection is made to help to defray the hire costs of the premises. Windsor Herald is kindly hosting an evening visit to the College of Arms and the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies is hosting a visit to Canterbury. The visit to St John's Gate was heavily over-subscribed last season so will be repeated early in 2006. These visits are self-financing and tickets are available in advance from the Programme Secretary. The Programme Secretary would very much appreciate help in advertising the lectures to a wider public and is looking for an Assistant Programme Secretary to take over this aspect. If you feel you could spare time and would like to help the Society in this way, please contact the Programme Secretary, Colonel Michael Phillips, either on 01483 237375 or through the Membership Secretary on 01483 237373 or email memsec@theheraldrysociety.com. Can you answer the following questions:- * (see answers at the end of the article) 1. Who is the patron Saint of Russia ? 2. Who succeeded Genghis as the Great Khan ? 3. Who was the British Prime Minister during most of the American War of Independence ? No? I am not surprised, but it was the ability to answer these and approximately 90 similar questions, some even more difficult, that enabled the Norfolk Heraldry Society once again to win the Norfolk History Quiz. The Quiz takes place every year and teams of not more than three members can take part. The Norfolk Heraldry Society has won the Quiz 10 times in the last 15 years. A formidable achievement. This year the team consisted of Chairman Andy Anderson and John Dent, Hon.FHS, Founder Member and Vice-President of the Society. Although they had one member less than the permitted number of three per team, they were still able to fend off the considerable opposition provided by local teams from, among others, the Richard III Society and the Battlefields Trust. *1. St Andrew. 2. Ogadai, his third son 3. Lord North. PLEASE NOTE: The next deadline for contributions to the Gazette is 1st November. Visit the website at www.theheraldrysociety.com 7
