Editorial: What’s this all about then? Most of you will know from receiving issue No 90 of the Midnight Oil that change is afoot with regard to how we publish information about the interests and activities of club members. For that issue, and as an experiment, David Burnett and Mike Parker collated, printed and distributed the first full colour MO. The emailed response back from members clearly showed the new format was very popular. (See page 4 for a sample of members responses). A vote of thanks was made to them at the 2014 November AGM and a new appointment was suggested; that the club should have an MO Enterprises and Commercial Officer. This role would be both to promote the quality of the MO and secure advertising to reduce publishing costs. All action that would attract funding to subsidise the MO, encourage members to contribute, whilst attracting new members to what can now be perceived as a "flagship" publication. The post of MO Enterprises and Commercial Officer was proposed and David Burnett was elected to that role. David then outlined the importance of the MO as a forum to exchange information between members. “It gives a face to the outside world and engages and attracts new members, whilst also keeping existing members” he said. The meeting agreed that, at the moment, the costs of a full colour MO on quality paper would limit it to two issues a year and two in black and white. However with increased members and advertising, it would always be the aim to produce 4 full colour MOs. (See meeting minutes on page 14) And this is where you, the members, can make a difference in the two important areas of submitting articles and attracting new members, as explored below. By Submitting material for publication. Items that reflect your own passion and interests, illustrated with some quality pictures, that you can share with members. I have agreed to be the focus point for all editorial material destined for both the full colour magazine and the black and white newsletters. For copy deadlines see the last page of this publication. Contact: Mike Parker. Email: mike@parkers-paraffinalia.co.uk. Landline: 01386 881863. Mob: 07949200207. Contd over 3

By Attracting new members. By showing your copy of the latest colour magazine to likely candidates for membership (the many that you must meet as the consequence of your hobby) it will help encourage them to join. The Centre Fold of this newsletter contains two membership forms that are easily removed, for you to ask new members to complete and return with the relevant fee. If possible you are best to collect the fee there and then and arrange to get it and the completed form to Treasurer/Membership Secretary Dave Horrocks at the address shown on page 2, or at the next meeting. David Burnett (MO Enterprises and Commercial Officer). Mike Parker (Editor 2015)

Sample of Responses to colour MO 90 “I’m more than impressed by the quality of the Midnight Oil’s revamp. The photography is out of this world. The articles were very interesting and it will help revitalise the club. I would like more articles for less knowledgeable members, like how to polish and clean etc. The layout and purity of the colour is extremely good. I’m happy with twice a year though four is better, but needs must.” “I do like the latest MO. It’s fantastic. The presentation is superb. It does the club credit. It’s the sort of thing you need. I have been a member since the mid 90s. I like having the MO and look forward to receiving it, as I only can get to one meeting venue at Tuddenham and like to know what people are doing. It links club members together as not everybody goes to meetings. Before this its presentation didn’t do any credit to the club and the pictures were no good. If we have to I am happy with two a year. Ideally we will have four but not go back to the other system. You have my support”. “Very good indeed. Lifted the whole magazine. Everything a modern magazine should be. Shows everything off with great quality. It brings a fresh look with its font types and layout, looks very well done indeed. I have no problem with twice a year. It would also ease the load for those people tasked with producing it.” 4

“Well all, we were very pleased to open up the envelope with the MO in it yesterday. It is excellent. I did not recognise my own articles as the finished products were well enhanced by the quality of presentation and finish, making them better than I could ever imagined. I have chased and encouraged people to generate material in the past and have been personally embarrassed by the finished product, and have had to apologise to respective authors. This edition cannot fail but to inspire others to produce articles for the MO in the future and make their efforts well worthwhile. My copy will be left out on the coffee-table for people to pick up.” “I think that such production values were long overdue. The use of high quality colour printing enables detail to be easy seen (a factor that was often missing previously, even when it was essential to the article it was illustrating). I would hope that such a high quality publication will help attract and retain membership. I would certainly be willing to accept two issues/year or pay a higher subscription for a publication of this quality. My only additional comments on that would be that if it was to be two issues/year then each edition ought to be more substantial than the 18 pages of articles in the current edition, also it could be useful to have a circular letter in advance of each meeting if there was a need, and the production dates for the Midnight Oil could then be decoupled from meeting dates (possibly with exception of the AGM)” I think that the new layout with colour is infinitely better than the previous design and reminds me of the old Light International magazine. Given the effort that it takes to produce a magazine for lighting enthusiasts, I would personally be happy with two issues per year. An eMagazine would be perfectly acceptable too, removing the cost of printing and distribution. I always look forward to reading MO as you have exceptionally knowledgeable contributors who willingly share their vast field of little-known information about period lighting. Kind regards.

Very good, excellent. I like the format and everything else. Would you like small Ads from members? I enjoy the magazine as I am not actively involved with the club, mainly because of difficulties with travelling. Why not try it twice yearly, maybe three times. That would be acceptable Do it in stages. Try with increased subs and if it doesn’t work, change back. Brilliant. This is a small selection from your magnificent responses to the recent colour MO 90. They have been chosen to give some flavour of the delight they revealed in all the comments, balanced with mixed feelings about any loss of four adequate communication channels a year. It was because of these responses that Members made “a leap of faith” by happily voting to experiment with two colour and two black and white editions in 2015. I’m sure that all members will do their darndest to make it work to the satisfaction of all. Mike Parker

Table Top Tales As one of our American members observed in response to MO 90. “At times you have pictures of your meetings of tables where members have brought in their lamps. Sometimes there is only the picture, with interesting lamps on the table. I’d like to see some foot notes or paragraphs of exactly what lamps these are and some interesting points about them (not just the picture). Perhaps some additional close-up pictures. These are like free articles of opportunity, just waiting to be captured. I’ll bet some of these members would have a lot to say about them if someone asked, as they won’t or can’t write an formal article. They did after all, take the time to bring the lamps. If I was ever able to attend these meetings, I’d volunteer to bring along a small recorder (Smartphone nowadays), interview the displayer(s), and edit the conversations later to text, for inclusion in the next MO. I’ll bet there’s some real gems there.” How right he was so: Volunteer needed - Sony, hand-held dictaphone provided, but bring your own camera – to identify two or three tables that might be of interest, and do just that.

Presidential Reflections from Ian Caunter As a teacher, one of the most important things we are encouraged to do is ‘reflect’. With this in mind after the AGM, I found myself travelling back in time towards the very first inaugural meeting. A group of interested lamp collectors, had been gathered together at the University of Reading by David Denny. David had managed to contact, through a variety of means, with collectors having a hunger and a thirst for all types of historical lighting equipment. I remember travelling up from Plymouth on the Sunday morning, not knowing what to expect. I was ‘surprised’ to say the least, at what I found. A room well filled with people who had brought with them ‘Lamps’ of all shapes and sizes. It was the start of an amazing adventure journey that would last for more than two decades. Having created the club, it was found that this provided some terrific advantages. The first being the exchange of those difficult to find parts and also valuable information. I remember living here in Plymouth wondering if anybody else in the country actually collected lamps and if I could ever find the missing parts. I remember that David Denny had produced the original fun versions of the Midnight Oil. It was decided as a club we would try and keep this going. I remember at the time we were producing the Midnight Oil on old fashioned type writers, cut and paste and poor quality photo copy machines. I remember that the one that David had was held together with bicycle parts.

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC from our Welsh Correspondent

An illustration from Mr O’Dea’s book Social History of Lighting

Mr O'Dea in his Social History of Lighting (1958) provides some really riveting information from the past. If he hadn't told us, would we know that fish oil was at one time much used as fuel for lighting? Or that Russian troops evacuated with the British after the Netherlands campaign of 1799 not only scraped all the tallow out of the naval lanterns and ate it, but they also astonished the people of Yarmouth, where they landed, by drinking the oil from the street lamps.

The Shetlanders, Mr O'Dea continues, illuminated their homes using the dried corpses of storm petrels, small black oil-filled seabirds which came ashore in May to nest and were captured and culled in their thousands. After drying, their bodies were anchored in clay by the feet and wicks thrust down through the beak. Lighting indoors by this means must have required careful management; the long dark northern winter months would be hard to endure if you ran out of petrels. A sad ending for a splendid bird, to have to end up Flying free at last as a kind of flying fount. Should we make a subscription to reprint Mr O'Dea's truly fascinating book? He was a Keeper at the Science Museum in charge of the museum’s Lighting Collections from 1935. Dewi the Wick Picture: A Storm Petrel in flight, from an original linocut by artist Robert Gillmor, especially commissioned and produced for this article in the March 2015 Newsletter. 8

Minutes of the HLC AGM 23rd Nov 2014. A 12.20pm start. Ian Caunter opened the meeting by saying our Chairman Ian Smith could not be with us, but was recovering well after an operation. The meeting was then conducted by Vice Chairman Mike Parker. Apologies from Ian Smith, Martin Egan and Maurice Kinslow. There were no matters arising from the last AGM 2013. Publications Officer, John Kidger reported 7 books were sold for £61.75. This sales figure was down on previous years as it was a "short year" due to a new treasurer being appointed in the summer. Membership Secretary, Paul Mitchell , reported 5 new members had joined and the current membership stood at 86. Treasurer, Dave Horrocks said we had a profit of £364 and the current balance was £2426.84. The financial balance sheet was distributed. The club badges were discussed, and it was agreed the Membership Secretary would forward the remaining badges to the Treasurer to send to any new members. It was further agreed that any member not in receipt of a club badge could forward a self addressed envelope, which would enable them to receive one. It was further agreed to review the number and stock holding value of the badges. It was also agreed to review the number and stock holding value of the books.

Election of Officers. Chairman Ian Smith, proposed Ian Caunter, seconded Mike Bradley. Vice Chairman, Mike Parker, proposed Duncan Bennett, seconded John Bradley. Treasurer and Membership Secretary, Dave Horrocks, proposed Ian Caunter, seconded Guy Richards. Publication Officer, John Kidger proposed Mike Bradley, seconded Guy Richards. A new appointment was suggested that the club should now have an MO Enterprises and Commercial Officer. This role would be to promote the quality of the MO and secure advertising in the MO. Such action would attract funding to subsidise the MO, encourage members to contribute, whilst attracting new members to what can now be perceived as a "flagship" publication. MO Enterprises and Commercial Officer, David Burnett, proposed Ian Caunter, seconded Duncan Bennett. 14

A vote of thanks was made to David Burnett and Mike Parker who had collated, printed and distributed the first full colour MO. The emailed response back from members clearly showed the new format was very popular. David Burnett then outlined the MO was a forum to exchange information between members. It gives a face to the outside world and engages and attract new members whilst keeping existing members. Costs of a full colour MO on quality paper would limit it to two a year and two black and white, however, with increased members and advertising, it is the always the aim to produce 4 full colour MOs. This appointment and action is aimed at giving the club a commercial arm to seek new finances. Mike Parker advised the new MO format had enabled him to sell ten colour MOs for ÂŁ50 and ask the membership to see this as a "leap of faith", to go forward and hope the increased costs are justified. Les Vargerson felt 4 colour MOs was desirable. Mike Parker agreed and said it was our future aim. John Hadley said if the MO was on line, then people may not need to join the club. Mike Bradley said the Aladdin Knights change the pass word regularly for members only. This the club would do. John White reminded members that the MO relied on members writing and submitting articles, even if it is on a single lamp or burner. A vote for 2 colour MOs and 2 B/W was then carried. Dave Horrocks proposed we have a PayPal account for membership, this is particularly helpful for overseas members. Neil McRae said a PayPal button could be added to our website. Agreed. Jenny Horrocks said the members hand book was out of date... Mike Bradley is looking into reissuing this. A show of hands was requested by Mike Parker to see how members felt about an increase of ÂŁ5 membership to secure 4 colour MOs, in the future. This was overwhelmingly supported. Les Vargerson requested the MO be published prior to meetings as this would act as a reminder. John Bradley asked if the club had risks of fire at a meeting considered. Ian Caunter said John White was our Health and Safety man, our club rules say each members is responsible for his own lamps. The meeting was closed at 1.25pm. John Kidger Post meeting note. It was decided to reintroduce a book asking each member to sign in at club meetings. 15

HLC Lamp Exhibition at the Black Country Living Museum, Dudley 10th and 11th of Oct 2015 The BCLM is hosting an "Historic lighting event" and our club members are invited to display lamps. Also present will be other lighting exhibitors, mainly gas, and gas museum objects. They will make an excellent addition to our lamps (we do not always feature working gas lamps) and they will also do demonstrations. The museum is advertising the event and are theming the weekend with a trail, and will produce maps highlighting the lighting sites/ objects around the museum. There will be A4 handouts on which the club can put our Website address. This is a great opportunity to showcase our lamps and help us pick up more members as we will also have our new MO format and membership forms. The museum will publish times of demonstrations, and the HLC hopes to offer overviews/demonstrations. This time we will be able light some lamps, but we need to ensure we are not smoking/fuming the place out and putting people off as a "smelly" hobby!!!!! The Museum is hoping to offer a fish and chips supper in the evening in the workers hall and will offer refreshment tokens. In 2013 some members stayed overnight on the Fri/ Sat at the Quality Hotel, Birmingham Road Dudley, DY14RN. 2 miles from junction 2, M5 and 1 mile from the Black Country Museum. To book Tel 01384 458070. and this year they have offered. Friday 9th October 2015 - £65.00 Dinner, Bed & Breakfast or £55.00 Bed & Breakfast. Saturday 10th October 2015 - £65.00 Dinner, Bed & Breakfast or £55.00 Bed & Breakfast. Sunday 11th October 2015 - £60.00 Dinner, Bed & Breakfast or £52.00 Bed & Breakfast.

The Premier Inn, Dudley, tel 0871 527 9420 is also very close to the museum and offers... Friday 9th October 2015 - £54.00 Bed & Breakfast. Saturday 10th October 2015 - £66.00 Bed & Breakfast. No dinner offered, however, the manager said look around March time for bargain £29 rates... They do not do dinner, but there are lots of restaurants around the area and the Black C L Museum offered a fish and chip supper, so that could well be our club evening meal, and this year maybe we can light lamps!!! Please advise John Kidger if you intend to:Come as an exhibitor and display lamps, and join the fish and chip supper on Saturday. Just come as a visitor, and join the fish and chip supper on Saturday Charges are likely to be made. Advise if you intend to stay over on the Friday, Saturday, or Sunday Exhibitors, please advise if prepared to give a demonstration of a any subject and indicate the number of tables you will require.

Taken from the LITTLE FOLKS: A Magazine for the Young. Circa 1875 Featuring the unintended gem of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Moderator on a standâ&#x20AC;? Magic! Mike P 18

“If Prize Oxen could speak, and if one of them bore the name of HORATIO, another might quote to him the line from Hamlet and exclaim— “To such base uses must we come Horatio,” as in the pride of pampered pinquidity, they pass together the shop of some tallow-chandler and eying the piles of candles, reflect on the sixes-and sevens-to which they must be brought by the cattle stuffing mania. SUETONIUS-a great authority on suet, and who by the way refused to butter the Caesarswould, had he lived to the present day, have exposed the extravagance of our time as he did those of his own; for he would certainly have revolted against the extravagance of fattening up for the melting tub, and converting into food for reflection, those animals that were intended for food of a more substantial kind. When we see the mountainous flanks of the monster oxen in Baker Street Bazaar, we cannot help thinking of the ignominious end that is in store for the wretched brutes whose ultimate “blaze of triumph” will only be such as the ignition of some scores of pounds of kitchen candles will afford. The last remains of the gigantic creature that stood panting for admiration at the Cattle Show, may be traced at last to the socket of some wretched rushlight shade, in which the last relic of the once proud animal is doomed to expire. Alas! that brutal, like human greatness, should come to such an insignificant end! Punch. Christmas 1848. Mike P 19
