TT Grandstand

The TT Grandstand including the startline, pit lane, re-fuellers, merchandising, scoreboard and paddocks for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix races is situated on the A2 Glencrutchery Road, in the town of Douglas, Isle of Man. History The startline for the 1911 TT races was originally situated on a level section of the A2 Quarterbridge Road between Selborne Drive and Woodlands Lodge in Douglas. The startline and refuelling area was moved to the top of Bray Hill for the 1914 TT races, and then moved in 1920 to the Nobles Park area of the A2 Glencrutchery Road at the junction of Greenfield Road in Douglas. For the 1920 TT races, changes were made to the Snaefell Mountain Course and competitors turned left at Cronk-ny-Mona and followed the primary A18 Mountain Road to Governor's Bridge Dip with the new start/finish line nearby on the A2 Glencrutchery Road which lengthened the course to 37.75 miles (60.75 km). For the 1926 Isle of Man TT races the startline section at Glencrutchery Road was improved by road widening and building of a new grandstand complex at a cost of £2,000. The 1920s wooden structure was demolished and replaced with a modern purpose-built brick design on newly acquired land for the 1986 TT Races. The new development incorporated a race control and communications tower, a wider pit-lane and seating placed 30 ft (9.1 m) further away from the refuellers due to FIM requirements for enhanced competitor and spectator safety concerning fire-risk. Proposals to re-locate the facility to the other side of the Glencrutchery Road were rejected as being more costly than the projection of £GB450,000. Concourse facilities The official TT regulations paddock diagram shows many public, technical and administrative areas developed into the Grandstand, including: The grandstand includes VIP hospitality areas and a licensed area for spectators. Acceleration/deceleration lane and return road The acceleration lane leads from the pit lane to re-join the main road. The deceleration lane provides a braking area, terminating in a hairpin turn-around loop in Nobles Park before connecting to the return road, leading back to the winners enclosure and parc fermé, situated as part of the paddock complex, for all race finishers. Temporary accommodation Temporary holiday accommodation in the paddock for TT time was established from 2012 until 2017. The complex was provided by Snoozebox, a business having former Formula 1 racing driver David Coulthard as a principle. The accommodation was in the form of 45 ft (14 m) stacked shipping containers, modified and fitted-out as commodious sleep cells.

Cronk ny Merriu

Cronk ny Merriu (deutsch „Hügel der Toten“) ist eines von etwa 20 Promontory Forts an der Küste der Isle of Man. Es liegt im Süden auf der Ostseite der Insel in der Nähe von Santon, mit Blick auf den kleinen Naturhafen von Port Grenaugh. Es ist eine kleine Anlage aus der Eisenzeit mit Wällen und Gräben, die aber keine eigene Versorgung mit Wasser hat und insofern wie viele Anlagen dieser Art für militärische Zwecke ungeeignet war. Der Standort bietet gute Aussicht auf die umliegende Küste. Errichtet etwa um die Zeitenwende, während der keltischen Eisenzeit, wurde der Komplex während der nordischen Periode ab dem 8. Jahrhundert wieder benutzt. Hinter der Walllinie befinden sich die Reste einer Siedlung. Die Fundamente eines nahezu rechteckigen Gebäudes aus dieser Zeit sind sichtbar. Es hat drei Türen und eine zentrale Feuerstelle. Siehe auch Cronk Karran Cronk Sumark Weblinks Kurztext engl. Blick von Cronk ny Merriu auf Port Grenaugh
Cronk ny Merriu

Cronk ny Merriu (Manx for 'hill of the dead'), located close to Port Grenaugh, is one of the remains of promontory forts in the Isle of Man. Cronk ny Merriu was previously considered by historians to be a prehistoric burial place due to its large grass-covered bank and name, literally translating to "Hill of the Dead". The bank and ditch created a defensive promontory fort at Cronk ny Merriu. Later, a rectangular building of Norse style and layout stood here, part of a system of coastal lookout posts used to protect the coastline and to police beach markets. Excavations of Cronk ny Merriu show that there was very little domestic activity, and that the Norse building likely didn't have permanent residency. It's suggested that the longhouse was primarily a building for those at nearby forts to shelter from harsh weather, rather than a place of defence itself. Although no scientific dating has been done, due to the similarities with fortified headlands throughout the British Isles, archeologists strongly believe that this site dates back to the Iron Age. Several of the lookout posts, especially in Santon, where Cronk ny Merriu is situated, can be visited using the coastal footpath. The posts were protected with a deep ditch and a rampart strengthened by large stones on their vulnerable landward side. There'd also be a heavily protected gateway, with ramparts built up on either side, for those seeking shelter in the fort. The Scandinavians who arrived in Mann in the eighth and ninth centuries sometimes re-used these Iron Age promontory forts, often obliterating the old domestic quarters with their characteristic rectangular houses; the example at Cronk ny Merriu has been used as the basis of the reconstruction of the House of Manannan museum in Peel. Etymology In the Manx language Cronk (hill) ny Merriu ('the dead') means literally 'hill of the dead'. References
Cronk ny Merriu

Cronk ny Merriu (Colline des Morts en mannois) est un promontoire fortifié situé au sud de l'île de Man, à Port Grenaugh (en), près de Santon, à mi-chemin à peu près entre Castletown et Douglas. Son nom mannois est dû à une mauvaise interprétation des ruines, qui étaient jadis considérées comme celles d'un site funéraire. Les ruines qu'on y trouve sont en fait celles de propriétés agricoles. Elles sont datées de l'Âge du fer et sont l'œuvre de populations celtes. Le site a toutefois été réaménagé lors de l'occupation viking de l'île (VIIIe siècle-IXe siècle).

The Buchan School

The Buchan School (Manx: Yn Scoill Buchan) is an independent primary school in Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man, catering for children aged 3–11. It is the junior school of King William's College. History The Buchan School was established in 1875 by Laura, Lady Buchan (daughter of Colonel Mark Wilks) as a "school for females" and was originally known as The High School for Girls. The original campus was located on Douglas Road, on the promenade in Castletown, however the school soon outgrew its original site and moved to a new site named "Westhill" about a mile away in Arbory Road, Castletown. As the number of pupils grew there was a need for more space and the senior (age 11 to 18) department was relocated to Bowling Green Road where it was housed in three adjacent terraced houses which had been Lady Laura's house. The junior school and boarders accommodation remained at Westhill and the pupils walked across Castletown between the two bases to use the playing fields at Westhill and along Castletown promenade to King William's College for swimming lessons. In 1991 The Buchan amalgamated with King William's College and changed to a co-educational prep school for King William's College. As of 2005 the school had approximately 250 pupils. The Buchan is the only independent primary school on the Isle of Man. Houses The Buchan comprises four houses. Every pupil in the school is a member of one of the houses and represents them in awards and sporting events. The school used to have a boarding house however this closed in 1999. The houses are named after famous Norse rulers of the Isle of Man. Magnus - Represented by the colour green Olaf - represented by the colour red Lagman - represented by the colour blue Godred - represented by the colour yellow In the 1970s two more houses were founded for the boarders - Ivar and Somerled which were represented by gold and purple. These were discontinued after the school ceased to have any boarding facilities. The Buchan Badge The School has its own award system - the Buchan Badge. This is awarded to pupils in Prep. (years 3-6) The award is based on the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Each pupil must take part in, and complete each of the sections of the award; Physical Activity, Country Craft or Field Craft and a Service. Motto The motto of The Buchan is Fortior Qui Melior, which means "The Braver The Better". Alumni Jennifer Kewley Draskau - historian, linguist, teacher and political candidate Amina J.

The Nunnery, Douglas

The Nunnery is an estate outside of Douglas on the Isle of Man, named after a religious foundation on the site, at grid reference SC372754. The Nunnery is located on Old Castletown Road, Braddan. In 1999, the estate was acquired for the Isle of Man International Business School, now part of the University College Isle of Man. History Monastic era The Priory of Douglas was a monastery of nuns, possibly dating to the reign of Rǫgnvaldr Guðrøðarson, King of the Isles (1187-1226). King Robert Bruce spent the night at the nunnery on Sunday, May 22, 1313 prior to beginning his siege of Castle Rushen the next day. He took the castle three weeks later. The nunnery was suppressed as part of the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII in 1540. Nothing remains of the monastery. In 1610, the Nunnery was granted to the Earl of Derby by King James. Post Dissolution The buildings were acquired by Richard Calcot, Comptroller of the Isle of Man, who is said to have married the last Prioress, Margaret Goodman. The family occupied a house on the site until their descendants, the Heywoods, sold it to the Taubmans in 1776. A new mansion was built for John Taubman in 1823. It was designed by John Pinch the elder and his son, John Pinch the younger, of Bath, built in the "Strawberry Hill" Gothic Revival style. The only surviving monastic building, St. Bridget's Chapel, served as a coach house for centuries, but it was restored to its original use as a place of worship in the 1880s. The building was used in this manner until 1998, when new owners evicted the congregation, and it was deconsecrated as a chapel. The mansion remained in the possession of the Taubman family: George Taubman Goldie was born here in 1846. This remained the case until the estate was acquired by the Isle of Man International Business School in 1999 to serve as their site of operations, following which the Isle of Man University Centre was established there in 2008. The Nunnery also served as the home of Culture Vannin until its relocation to St. John's in 2016. ] Notes References Sources David E.

Tynwald

El Tynwald (Manx: Tinvaal), o més formalment, el Tribunal Suprem de Tynwald (Manx: Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal) és l'òrgan legislatiu de l'Illa de Man. S'afirma que és el cos parlamentari més antic amb continuïtat del món, i consisteix en dues cambres: la Casa de les Claus (escollida directament) i el Consell Legislatiu (escollit indirectament). Etimologia El nom Tynwald, així com l'islandès Þingvellir i el noruec Tingvoll, prové del nòrdic antic Þingvǫllr (lloc on es reuneix en assemblea el thing). Referències
Tynwald

Der Tynwald (Manx: Tinvaal, von altnordisch thing + völlr „Versammlungsfeld“), offizielle Bezeichnung High Court of Tynwald (Manx: Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal) ist das Zweikammern-Parlament der Isle of Man. Im Jahr 1979 feierte das Volk der Manx das Jahrtausend seines Parlaments. Das Jahr wurde willkürlich ausgewählt. Es gibt keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass eine solche Versammlung im Jahr 979 stattfand. Der Tynwald besteht heute aus zwei Kammern, dem Oberhaus (Legislative Council, Yn Choonceil Slattyssagh) mit elf Mitgliedern, davon zwei von Amts wegen, und dem Unterhaus (House of Keys, Yn Kiare as Feed) mit 24 gewählten Abgeordneten. Old Tynwald Old Tynwald liegt in der Nähe eines Hügels in Killabane (Keeil Abban), neben dem Millennium Way. Der Ort wurde früher aufgesucht, um die neuen Gesetze der Insel zu verkünden, traditionell am Mittsommertag. Weblinks Tynwald. Abgerufen am 8. Juli 2022 (englisch). Old Tynwald.

Tynwald

Tynwald (en manés Tinvaal), o de manera más formal, la Corte Suprema del Tynwald (en manés Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal), también llamado simplemente como Corte del Tynwald es el órgano bicameral que ostenta el poder legislativo de la Isla de Man. Historia Es el cuerpo parlamentario con existencia continua más antiguo del mundo,​ habiendo sido fundado en el año 979, ya que el Alþingi (parlamento islandés) es más antiguo pero tuvo un periodo de inactividad. El Tynwald consiste de dos cámaras: la Cámara de las Llaves electa de manera directa y el Consejo Legislativo, (cuyo presidente es el presidente ex officio del Tynwald), elegido de manera indirecta y cuya máxima autoridad es el Loayreyder.​ Las cámaras se sientan juntas, el Día de Tynwald en St John's, con fines principalmente ceremoniales, y generalmente una vez al mes en los Edificios Legislativos de Douglas con facultades específicas. De lo contrario, las dos cámaras se sientan por separado, la Cámara de las Llaves origina la mayor parte de la legislación y el Consejo Legislativo actúa como una cámara de revisión. Etimología El nombre procede del nórdico antiguo Þing-völlr, o llanura donde se reúne el thing, que era la asamblea de hombres libres de la antigua Escandinavia.​ Propuesta de reforma En 2007, el sistema de gobierno de la isla fue revisado con planes para transformar el Consejo Legislativo en una cámara elegida directamente, haciéndose eco del impulso de reforma en la Cámara de los Lores del Reino Unido y la abolición de los Conseillers elegidos indirectamente en Guernsey.

Tynwald

Tynwald (in mannese Tinvaal) o High Court of Tynwald (in mannese Ard-whaiyl Tinvaal) è il parlamento bicamerale dell'Isola di Man, composto da una camera eletta direttamente, la House of Keys ed un'altra scelta indirettamente, il Legislative Council. Storia Istituito nel 979 d.C., pur non essendo il parlamento più antico del mondo, è sicuramente quello che è in funzione da più tempo, non avendo mai interrotto le proprie attività; sia quello islandese sia quello delle isole Fær Øer vennero istituiti in data anteriore, ma furono temporaneamente aboliti, rispettivamente tra il 1800 ed il 1845 e tra il 1816 ed il 1852. Il 5 luglio, festa nazionale dell'Isola di Man, tutti i membri del Tynwald partono da Douglas, la capitale, per riunirsi presso la Tynwald Hill, una minuscola collina nell'ovest dell'isola, dove vengono proclamate tutte le nuove leggi dell'isola alla presenza del Vice-Governatore, in rappresentanza del monarca del Regno Unito, che è anche Signore di Man.

Tynwald

De Tynwald, of officieel de hoge raad van Tynwald, is het parlement van het eiland Man. Gezegd wordt dat de Tynwald het oudste nog bestaande parlement ter wereld is. Het bestaat uit 24 leden van The House of Keys (vergelijkbaar met de Belgische Kamer van volksvertegenwoordigers of de Nederlandse Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal) en 11 leden van de indirect gekozen Legislative Council (vergelijkbaar met de Belgische Senaat of de Nederlandse Eerste Kamer). Etymologie De naam Tynwald is afgeleid van het Oud-Noorse woord Þingvǫllr, wat ontmoetingsplek betekent. Geschiedenis Gezegd wordt dat de Tynwald het oudste parlement ter wereld is. Het is waarschijnlijk opgericht in 979 (hoewel Man al een soort parlement had in de 9e eeuw; ook zou een zekere Orry volgens de overlevering omstreeks 920 een parlement hebben ingericht) en heeft sindsdien bestaan. Er zijn wel parlementen die eerder zijn opgericht, zoals het IJslandse Alding, maar dat heeft tussen 1800 en 1845 niet bestaan. In hun primitiefste vorm vonden de dingvergaderingen plaats op Tynwald Hill, een heuvel in het gehucht St John's. Deze locatie wordt nog eenmaal per jaar, op Tynwald Day, gebruikt voor een ceremoniële afkondiging van de Manxe wetten in beide talen. Bij deze ceremonie wordt een strikt protocol nageleefd dat dicteert op welke trap van de heuvel welke hoogwaardigheidsbekleders dienen te zitten, afhankelijk van hun rang. Middeleeuwen In de middeleeuwen bestond de Tynwald alleen uit The House of Keys, bestaande uit 24 mensen, "The Keys" genoemd, hetgeen mogelijkerwijze een verbastering is van kiare as feed, het getal vierentwintig in het Manx-Gaelisch. Deze raadslieden stonden in de middeleeuwen tevens bekend als Taxiaxi, een woord met een obscure etymologie. Voor elk van de 6 sheadings (vroegere provincies op Man) waren er 4 vertegenwoordigers. Tot 1577 maakte het parlement nog geen regels, maar oordeelde alleen over de oude wetten als daar twijfel over bestond. 17e en 18e eeuw Na de Engelse Burgeroorlog werd door het Verenigd Koninkrijk de macht teruggegeven aan de Lords of Man, leden van het Engelse adelsgeslacht Stanley, waardoor de macht van de Tynwald aanzienlijk terugliep. De Stanleys beschouwden Man als hun privébezit en waren weinig in de lokale bestuursorganen geïnteresseerd. In 1737 kreeg het parlement weer macht, maar dit duurde niet lang; in 1756 werd Man Brits Kroonbezit. De plaatselijke regering zetelde in het Old House of Keys in Castletown. 19e eeuw tot heden In 1867 werd de Tynwald weer een 'echt' parlement. De leden werden vanaf dan direct gekozen door het volk. Het House of Keys verhuisde van Castletown naar Douglas, waar het in een nieuw gebouw werd ondergebracht. Het Old House of Keys in Castletown is thans een museum; de oude Tynwald-heuvel in St. John's is een toeristische attractie.
Tynwald

Tynwald (em manês: Tinvaal) é o parlamento da Ilha de Man, um território de posse da coroa britânica, que não faz parte do Reino Unido da Grã-Bretanha e Irlanda do Norte, nem pertence à União Europeia. The Tynwald Day (Manx: Laa Tinvaal) é o dia nacional da Ilha de Man comemorado no dia 5 de Julho. Neste dia, a população nativa reúne-se em St John's, habitual local de encontro. A sessão realiza-se tanto na Capela Real de St John the Baptist e ao ar livre, Tynwald Hill (um outeiro artificial). O encontro O primeiro registro da data é 1417, é conhecido como "Verão de Justiça." É a presença de membros dos dois ramos da Tynwald: a Câmara de Chaves, e do Conselho Legislativo. O vice-governador, o representante do Senhor de Mann, preside, excepto nas ocasiões em que o Senhor ou outro membro da família real britânica é no atendimento. Todas as contas que tenham recebido a aprovação real são promulgadas em Tynwald Day; qualquer acto de Tynwald que não é promulgada no prazo de dezoito meses de passagem deixa de ter efeito. Outros procedimentos incluem a apresentação de petições ea tomada de posse de verdadeiros funcionários.

Тинвальд

Тинва́льд (англ. Tynwald, мэн. Tinvaal) — парламент острова Мэн; один из старейших парламентов в мире, который был образован в 979 году скандинавами (викингами). Тинвальд располагается в Дугласе, столице острова Мэн. Состоит из 35 депутатов. Главой парламента является Председатель Тинвальда, избираемый его членами. Формально он утверждается на должность представителем британского монарха — лейтенант-губернатором, назначаемым каждые пять лет, но уже несколько веков не было случаев отказа. Президент Тинвальда является де-факто главой острова (де-юре «Лордом/Леди острова» остаётся монарх Великобритании). Парламент занимается вопросами внешней и внутренней политики. В 1979 году во время празднования тысячелетия Тинвальда состоялось юбилейное торжественное заседание Тинвальда, проходившее под председательством Леди Мэна Елизаветы II. Тинвальд состоит из двух палат: нижней — Палаты ключей (англ. House of Keys, мэн. Kiare as Feed — «двадцать четыре»), избираемой прямым всеобщим голосованием, и верхней палаты — Законодательного совета (англ. Legislative Council, мэн. Choonseil Slattyssagh), члены которого избираются нижней палатой. Разработкой законов занимается в основном нижняя палата, а верхняя их утверждает. Утверждённый обеими палатами закон должен быть представлен для утверждения Лорду острова Мэн или представляющему его лейтенант-губернатору для получения королевской санкции. Впрочем, если верхняя палата не утвердит закон или внесёт нежелательные поправки, нижняя палата имеет право представить закон для королевской санкции без одобрения Законодательного совета; в силу этого политический вес верхней палаты не очень велик. Между 1706 и 1874 годами Палата ключей заседала в здании в Каслтауне, бывшей столице острова Мэн. Примечания Комментарии Источники Ссылки Официальный сайт Тинвальда
