I news SPRING 2020 THE MAGAZINE OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION Supporting farming families Freephone Helpline 0808 281 9490 Simon’s story Page 5 From the Chair hese are difficult and uncertain times for everyone. We are all having to change the way we go about our Tdaily business and no one is sure what things will be like next week, let alone in six months’ time. Forward planning is impossible at the moment as none of us knows what tomorrow will bring. The Coronavirus has forced people in every walk of life to make adjustments, some of them major, to their lifestyles and daily practices. All of us must act and think differently, being more considerate to others at all times. We cannot just do things as we always have. For example, we are used to bringing people together for fundraising events 52 weeks per year. However, we have taken the decision to cancel all fundraising activities until further notice. People’s wellbeing must come first. Our core work, supporting farming people in need, will continue. We are adapting our practices so staff can work remotely where necessary and, as an organisation, we remain well placed to be there for the individuals and families who rely on our assistance. Our Helpline is open and anyone who is struggling and does not know where to Our 160th anniversary: a turn, should call it. My first 100 days as Chair have been extremely busy but it’s a great honour to be helping to lead R.A.B.I forward in flick through the archives the charity’s 160th anniversary year. It’s a remarkable story but I genuinely feel that R.A.B.I has as great a role to play Pages 10-11 now than at any point in its long and varied history. Today, the way farmers are perceived by the wider public has changed, and is changing still.

OSWALD ROAD, OSWESTRY, 1878. PREFACE F all the works which have been written relating to the general or family history O of North Wales, none have been for centuries more esteemed than the History of the Gwydir Family. The Hon. Daines Barrington, in his preface to his first edition of the work, published in 1770, has well said, "The MS. hath, for above.a cent~ry, been so prized in North Wales, that many in those parts have thought it worth while to make fair and complete transcripts of it." Of these transcripts the earliest known to exist is one in the Library at Brogyntyn. It was probably written within 45 years of the death of the author; but besides that, it contains a great number of notes and additions of nearly the same date, which have never yet appeared in print. The History of the Gwydir Family has been thrice published. The first editiun, edited by the Hon. Daines Barrington, issued from the press in 1770. The second was published in Mr.

  • Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S
    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Michigan wins fi rst championship since 1995, 12th overall: — When Michigan’s Bruno Ortiz pulled himself out of the water after swimming the anchor leg in the 400- yard freestyle relay at the 2013 Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, the singing started. “Hail to the Victors” echoed around the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI March 30, beginning with two Michigan spectator sections on one side of the building and carrying over to the Michigan bench area on the pool deck. The Wolverines did not win the 400 free relay; they fi nished second. But it didn’t matter. Michigan had wrapped up its fi rst national team title since 1995 long before that fi nal relay event. It was the 12th national title for Michigan, and meant it was no longer tied with Ohio State for the overall lead in Division I men’s titles. “This morning, we just kind of let our passion drive us. And that was it,” said Connor Jaeger, who began Michigan’s title drive on the fi nal night of the three-day meet with a victory in the 1,650-yard freestyle. He also won the 500 free in the meet’s fi rst individual race. Michigan’s victory halted a two-year title run by California, which fi nished second. “We started four years ago working on this,” said Michigan’s fi fth-year coach Mike Bottom. “You do it one day at a time; you do it one student-athlete at a time.

The Lord Lieutenant is thus the chief executive authority in that county, through whom the policy decisions of the central government would be directed. Conversely he would represent the considerations of the county at Court and to the government. Because of these exalted duties the honour was usually given to the principal aristocratic landowner in the county. Deputy lieutenants would be appointed to carry out the directions given by him. The office also had the power to recommend, and so thus constitute, the Commission of the Peace, the body of justices of the peace or magistrates who supervised the legal and administrative systems of the county though the medium of their Quarter Sessions court. The Lord Lieutenant also had responsibility for local defence and accordingly controlled the county militia forces. This aspect of his work is dealt with in more detail in the second introduction. The collection catalogued below contains some of the working papers, mainly correspondence, of four successive Lord Lieutenants of Caernarvonshire and one future Lord Lieutenant as a Vice Lieutenant.
