    Blackheath & Bromley Courier November 2019. President 2019-20. Julian Golding. Editor. Pat Calnan ([email protected]) From 150 Years to Tipping Point? 23rd October 1869. Happy birthday to us! The Club History quotes “Bells Life In London” of Weds October 27th 1869 on the first run of Peckham Hare & Hounds, “The first meet of this Club took place on Saturday, the 23rd inst., at the King’s Arms, Peckham Rye…. The hares… were sent off at four o’clock, and led the “run” through Goose Green, Denmark Hill, Lordship Lane, Dulwich, Sydenham, Forest Hill, and back to the Rye, making a run from nine to ten miles. Time of running, 97 minutes”. Peckham Hare & Hounds became Peckham AC, who became Blackheath Harriers, who became Blackheath Harriers, Bromley, who became Blackheath & Bromley Harriers AC on merging with Bromley AC, who had previously been Bromley Ladies AC, Wigmore Ladies AC and originally Wigmore Harriers. Throw in a number of HQ changes, the Boer War, First World War, Second World War etc etc… it’s been a long journey. Happily the Club birthday fell on a Wednesday Night and those attending our Clubhouse were treated to free beer. We saw some people we had not seen for some time such as Carolyna Haley (nee Jones Baldock) and Mark Colpus, one of the scoring 6 when we won the Senior Mens National Cross Country title for the first time in 1994. John Turner brought greetings from Bill Clapham, who had earlier in the day cycled part of the original course at the age of 89, and from David Johnson who is currently in hospital.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

    Cleeve Meadow School Summer 2020 Summer Newsletter The Official Opening of Cleeve Meadow School Message from Head of School Well as we draw close to the end of the school year, we can’t help reflecting on what a strange year it has been for staff and students. We had been so delighted with the progress made by students up to the end of March, they had put so much hard work into their lessons, friendships and being an active member of the school community and we are very proud of their achievements. We have really missed the daily hustle and bustle of school and the individual personalities of all of our students and have loved picking up their messages and pictures on Seesaw, please keep them coming. Well done for all of your hard work with the work packs sent home, we know how hard it is to keep motivated in these circumstances. We are sending out our last work pack this week in the hope that in September we will be able to return to a bit of normality. This year we say goodbye to our amazing executive head teacher Jenni Tyler Maher (pictured above) who is leaving TKAT to become the principle at LMA which is a performing Arts University in the east end of London. Cleeve Meadow School exists as a result of Jenni’s vision to build a specialist provision for students with MLD and to co-locate with Cleeve Park so that students could benefit from the brilliant teaching and resources in the mainstream site.

  • Provisional Checklist and Account of the Mammals of the London Borough of Bexley
    PROVISIONAL CHECKLIST AND ACCOUNT OF THE MAMMALS OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Compiled by Chris Rose BSc (Hons), MSc. 4th edition. December 2016. Photo: Donna Zimmer INTRODUCTION WHY PROVISIONAL? Bexley’s mammal fauna would appear to be little studied, at least in any systematic way, and its distribution is incompletely known. It would therefore be premature to suggest that this paper contains a definitive list of species and an accurate representation of their actual abundance and geographical range in the Borough. It is hoped, instead, that by publishing and then occasionally updating a ‘provisional list’ which pulls together as much currently available information as can readily be found, it will stimulate others to help start filling in the gaps, even in a casual way, by submitting records of whatever wild mammals they see in our area. For this reason the status of species not thought to currently occur, or which are no longer found in Bexley, is also given. Mammals are less easy to study than some other groups of species, often being small, nocturnal and thus inconspicuous. Detecting equipment is needed for the proper study of Bats. Training in the live-trapping of small mammals is recommended before embarking on such a course of action, and because Shrews are protected in this regard, a special licence should be obtained first in case any are caught. Suitable traps need to be purchased. Dissection of Owl pellets and the identification of field signs such as Water Vole droppings can help fill in some of the gaps. Perhaps this document will be picked up by local students who may be looking for a project to do as part of their coursework, and who will be able to overcome these obstacles.
