Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a collection of Bryn's shooting and dog cartoons. It gives an insight into a world that can really only be understood by a participant for whom it is more than a sport; it is a way of life.

The fifth edition of Successful Event Management covers every aspect of events management, from the planning and set up process through to delivery, close-down and evaluation.

Facilities planning for tourism, hospitality and events (THE) is an important subject from both theoretical and applied perspectives, as land, property and resources represent major components of the foundation of the industry. As future managers, it is imperative that students have a sound basic knowledge of property and the various resources, systems and services associated with it. Covering important contemporary subjects such as sustainable planning and environmental management, this book considers the planning, development and management of facilities operations from several key perspectives, drawing upon the expertise of complementary experts in the design, management and development of THE facilities.

Some time late in the last century, Giles Catchpole and Bryn Parry began to catalogue the varied characters to be found in the shooting field and the results of their researches have been published monthly in The Shooting Gazette. Now, they have loaded up another game bag's worth of sharply written and wittily observed Shooting Types and unleashed them onto an expectant readership through The Second Barrel. Here is an extended line of assorted Guns, good and not so good. Some shoot like gods, quite a lot don't. Some own dogs that retrieve what they have shot and some have dogs who chase what they haven't. There is a supporting cast of spouses, partners and significant others - some being supportive and others less so. And then there are the keepers, beaters, pickers-up, hosts and hostesses without whom the whole undertaking would be utterly impossible and therefore no fun at all. If you shoot or go shooting you will recognise many of the characters in this book. You may remember them with a sigh of pleasure or a gasp of horror, or something in between. Who knows, you might even see aspects of yourself here, or if you can't, the person who gave this book to you probably does.

This is a salutary tale of the 'adventures' of a pair of extremely innocent backpackers (one a debutante in this form of vacational masochism) as they embark on two, climatically very different, trips on the near continent. Seeking shelter each night sometimes in their tiny tent and at other times in accommodation of a very dubious kind (the names of these establishments have been changed to protect the guilty) they set about exploring some of Western Europe's major cities. Their routes take in the delights, and dangers, to be found in, amongst others, -Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lisbon, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Lyon, Salamanca, Geneva etc. You name it, and they had a traumatic 'arthropod-related experience' there. They also managed to be the victims of two robberies in the space of one, extremely uncomfortable, evening and contracted most of the holiday ailments known to modern medicine.... Oh yes, and they had to witness a totally gratuitous display of 'fancy dress nudity' which would have broken lesser men Were these two 'adherents of the pack' hapless or unlucky in befalling these tribulations? Well, I'm still not sure but I do know that they did survive to tell the tale in all its grimy, in need of a proper wash, detail.

Oops, missed again! Now you have an excuse, or 101 to be exact... This little book is the answer for any shot that misses from time to time and an explanation is needed, "The bird swerved", "I'm stiff from too much shooting", "I'm missing intentionally to make them fly higher", these are just a few of the examples that could just save you! Bryn's wonderful cartoons illustrate his excuses perfectly and make this book the essential gift for every shooter. At 6 inches square it's also the perfect size to keep in the pocket. So, if you miss, whip it out and select the perfect phrase...it could even be "Sorry, I was reading 101 Shooting Excuses and didn't see that".

'During the Second World War, I worked in an empty building by the Thames. It had been used by the Thames Conservancy Board. When war came, they moved out and I was moved in. I stayed there for most of the war. I never went down to an air raid shelter. I was too busy trying to make people laugh about wartime bread and sausages, instead of crying about them.' - Mabel Lucie Attwell Mabel Lucie Attwell was one of Britain's best-loved artists with her work touching generations, from those who grew up with her classic characters, Bunty and the Boo-Boos, to those who have read Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies, which she famously illustrated. Her art has found its way into homes across the world through figurines, bathroom plaques and gift cards featuring her charming designs. Yet, many of her most poignant and humorous illustrations were created to cheer a world at war. She painted prolifically throughout the First and Second World Wars, with postcards featuring her child-like characters and tongue-in-cheek captions that were typical of her saucy sense of humour. Despite suffering loss and hardship herself during the wars she continued to encourage people to 'smile through the tears'. This book which brings a collection of her wartime postcards together exclusively for the first time, pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of this incredible woman and to her art that cannot fail to raise a smile today for young and old alike.
