  • Well Here We Go Again and Another Season of Football with What We Now Call the EXETER & DISTRICT YOUTH LEAGUE Sponsored by Red Post Media Solutions
    EXETER & DISTRICT YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1 EXETER & DISTRICT YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE Well here we go again and another season of Football with what we now call THE EXETER & DISTRICT YOUTH LEAGUE sponsored by Red Post Media Solutions. Towards the end of the 2007/08 season we were approached by what seemed to be an overwhelming majority of our Under-12 clubs who asked if we would provide football for them the following year at under-13 and as a result of the ‘demand’, we agreed. Much has been made of this move and it is only fair to have recorded that we, as a League, and certainly yours truly as Chairman, have never enforced any decision upon the members clubs. Indeed the Management mission is to assist and arrange the provision of what the majority of member clubs wish for. We now offer mini soccer for the age groups under-8, 9 and 10 and then it’s competitive football for the under 11, 12 and 13 age groups. We have, this year, complied with the Football Associations wishes and dispensed with a Cup competition for the under-8s and so our finals day in 2009 will not involve that age group. During the summer we welcomed aboard, as new sponsors Red Post, and they are the driving force behind our fabulous website which keeps everybody up to date with everything that they need to know or indeed find out about. It will not have escaped anybody with half an eye on the media that in the world of professional football there is a serious drive to improve the behaviour of players on the pitch - and I would like to ask ALL our member clubs to ensure that they ‘do their bit’ to help with a campaign of greater RESPECT for both the officials and indeed everybody else connected with the game.

  • Parishes of Clyst St Mary and Sowton Administered As Bishops Clyst
    HIW/16/9 Public Rights of Way Committee 24 November 2016 Definitive Map Review 2015 - 2016 Parishes of Clyst St Mary and Sowton administered as Bishops Clyst Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended an Order be made to add a Public Footpath in Sowton Parish between points A-B-C-D-E-B and F-G as shown on plan HCW/PROW/16/12v2. 1. Summary The report examines the Definitive Map Review for the Parishes of Clyst St Mary and Sowton, which are administered as Bishops Clyst, in East Devon District. 2. Background/Introduction The original survey, under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, revealed three footpaths and no bridleways in Clyst St Mary, and six footpaths and no bridleways in Sowton, which were recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement, St Thomas Rural District with the relevant date of 1 June 1957. The review of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1970s, but was never completed, produced no proposals for change to the map in the parishes. The Limited Special Review of Roads Used as Public Paths (RUPPS), also carried out in the 1970s, did not affect these parishes. The following orders have been made and confirmed: County of Devon Stopping up Order Clyst St Mary Part of FP1 Town and Country Planning Act 1964. East Devon District Council, Diversion Order Clyst St Mary Footpath No 3 (part) 1999.

The aim of the survey was to assess the distribution and abundance of s ' freshwater fish. The River Clyst has not previously been surveyed, consequently there is no historic data for comparative purposes. The survey was undertaken as part of a triennial programme to monitor the status of the freshwater fish population. 2) METHODS A total of nineteen sites were chosen throughout the catchment. Eighteen sites were surveyed quantitatively, the remaining one, semi-quantitatively. Site selection was based upon physical accessibility, geographical distribution and habitat characteristics. Site distribution and locations are shown in Figure 1. Site details are given in Table 1. - 2.1 Site Clustering Since 1992, routine sampling has included single-run sites in addition to three-run sites. Sites are clustered on a ' target area ' basis - one three-run site is associated with up to four single-run sites. A typical' cluster ’ will consist of five sites. The three-run site should be fished first, and should be immediately followed by the single-run sites in that cluster.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.
