During a heart-felt speech, business owner, Bryan Pass, accompanied by co-owner and wife, Dawn, thanked everyone for their individual e orts, and announced that there were no imminent plans for retirement! Originally home to a 150 Friesian cow dairy herd, Longdown Farm diversi ed into a children’s education centre in 1983 which Bryan and Dawn called Longdown Dairy Farm. is then further developed during subsequent years into an activity farm with the introduction of many other farm animals including goats, cows, pigs, donkeys, rabbits, and poultry, changing its name to Longdown Activity Farm along the way. With an objective to educate visitors of all ages and abilities about farming and farm animals in a safe environment, Bryan and Dawn, with the help of daughter, Kerry, and granddaughter, Charley, have tirelessly delivered. With a combination of school group educational visits, farmers days for young people, volunteer and training schemes for people with assisted needs, and a mobile farm, Longdown Activity Farm has reached out in a positive and upli ing way to hundreds of thousands of individuals over the last forty years. Not to mention, of course, the many thousands of daily visitors that visit each year to enjoy the animal activities and play opportunities. is dedication to community life was recognised when Longdown Activity Farm was struggling through the Covid Lockdowns. Despite hardship and fear of the unknown, enormous numbers of the general public, friends, and business associates pulled together and amassed the huge sum of £48,000 through a funding page. is ultimately saved the business from nancial ruin and ensured that through these most generous donations from the local community that the farm could continue with its valuable work. e Longdown journey through Lockdown has recently been featured in a book written by Bryan, entitled e Longdown Lockdown. Always with an eye for innovation, over the years Bryan and Dawn have introduced a Farm Shop that supports local producers, a range of children’s books written by Bryan, a Changing Room Facility that provides a vital resource for people with assisted needs, and most lately, an accessible play area that includes a wheelchair swing. Bryan is also a passionate advocate of chicken-keeping and has built an excellent reputation for his chickens, his knowledge, and his a er-sales service. With lots of plans for the future, Bryan, Dawn, Kerry and Charley intend to keep their pledge: to educate about farming and animals in a hands-on and safe environment, to o er fun and play, and above all, to make this accessible to everyone. The Longdown Team Bryan and Dawn Pass Ancient Egypt e Southampton Ancient Egypt Society (SAES) will be holding their next meeting over Zoom, commencing at 2pm, on Saturday 21st October for e Terry Mason Memorial Lecture - a tribute to their dear friend and founder member, Terry Mason (1938-2016). Anna Pearman: ‘Howard Carter’s 1922 Discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb: Its Impact on Archaeology and the Media.’ e news frenzy around the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, described as ‘the single most signi cant media event in archaeology’s history’, introduced Egyptology to a worldwide audience. e resulting massive increase in demand for Egyptology for popular consumption caused archaeologists to adapt the ways they recorded and published their work and interacted with the public. is further fuelled a seemingly insatiable appetite for all things Egyptological which is still felt today. Amongst other lasting e ects of the discovery, Anna discusses the developments in archaeological practice, the changes brought about in the position and in uence of wealthy private sponsors, and the role of the media in creating the Tutankhamun mythology, including the notorious Curse. Anna Pearman is a retired Humanities Professor, Vincennes University, USA. She studied Egyptology at Chicago University under Dr David Silverman, worked as an artist for the Chicago House Epigraphic Survey under the direction of Dr Lanny Bell and Dr William J Murnane, and met Terry Mason while studying for the MA in Egyptology at the University of Swansea. ‘Being older students nearing retirement age, we became fast friends and remained in touch over the years. I knew of his battle with leukaemia, cheered him on as best I could and felt shattered when he succumbed to his illness. When I visited the SAES website, the inspiration came over me to write and propose a lecture in memoriam.’ is talk is the result of that inspiration.
