Chair Takes Champion Autumn 2012 Chair takes Champion Congratulations to Tamworth Breeders‟ Club chairman Bill Howes on win- ning this year‟s Tamworth Champion of Champions competition.

The previous day, Bill and Shirley triumphed again, winning breed Bill Howes with judge Anne Petch, and champion with their sow, Stoneymoor Stoneymoor Melody 41 Melody 45, and and reserve with their gilt Stoneymoor Melody 41. Sadly, numbers were down once again, with just five pigs entered - three from the Howeses and two from Michele Baldock. Both Michele and Shar- ron Nicholas must be congratulated on making their debut at Newbury - and we trust they will make it an annual event. We hope both ladies en- joyed their experience and are now planning to get out and about even more with their pigs next year. Let‟s also hope that more club members will be encouraged to take part next year.

What a summer! I‟ve seen a few wet ones in my time, but none as bad as this. Some shows had to be cancelled through wet and mud- dy conditions but many carried on regardless with good old (and young) stalwart pig keepers determined to show their pigs. Sometimes it was difficult to tell the breeds apart – they were all so covered in mud. The Great Yorkshire was the worst Shirley and I attended - though I know there were worse. The rings were so deep in mud they resembled a battle field (Porke‟s Drift, maybe??). Congratulations to Stuart Roberts and Jodie Fairclough from north Yorkshire. Not only were they the only breeders to have a qualifying Tamworth for Pig of the Year, but they also won the interbreed championship with their sow Raisinhall Mel- ody 11 at the Newark & Notts Show. Well done to everyone else on the show circuit for their successes, too. Tamworths have been well represented throughout the season. Our secretary Michele has been busy collating results and posting them on the club website, so please do let her know if your pigs win prizes! Also, if you‟ve been showing this year, don‟t forget to add up the points you have collected, because the Points Cup will be awarded at the AGM in October. See facing page for details. The TBC display kits which have been travelling around various shows have been very successful in helping to draw attention to the breed, and thanks go to Michele for obtaining part-funding for these from the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. We are currently looking for new committee members and a club representative in Ireland. If you think you might be able to help, we would be very grateful. Bill Page 3 Tamworth numbers still rising Compared with some of the other breeds, Tamworths have faired well over the past year. Melody sows are proving the most popular, with nearly 80 registered – whereas, at the other end of the scale, Maple and Roseleaf have 21 and 36, respectively. As for the boar lines, most are doing well - with the exception of Dream Boy, Ranger, and Jasper, which remain in single figures. Figures in brackets denote 2011 totals.

Attending an Annual General Meeting may not sound the most exciting of prospects, but here at the Tamworth Breeders‟ Club, we like to make a day of it! We try and find interesting locations for our annual get-togethers, so that we can combine club business with a great social event. The AGM this year will be on October 21 at Boy- ton Farm in Warminster, Wiltshire - home our president, Caroline Wheatley-Hubbard. She owns the famous Berkswell Herd – the oldest herd of Tamworths in the UK. Caroline Wheatley-Hubbard introduces Tamworth Breeders’ Club members to some of her woodland pigs at a previous AGM held in 2008. COST AND GETTING THERE Lunch will be provided at Caroline‟s on-site restaurant, The Ginger Piggery, at a cost of £7.50 per head, with part of the fee going towards club funds. Please send payment to the club secretary.

Pictures by Liz Shankland Page 6 Pigs might fly...or travel by road, rail, or ferry! by WENDY SCUDAMORE Exporting may seem more trouble than it‟s worth to some, but I can only say that once you have been through the process, it does seem a lot more straightforward - and the satisfaction of seeing photographs from your customers, of your own pigs on foreign turf makes it all worthwhile. My advice is to spread your wings a little and send your breeding stock - and your reputation further afield. Sending pigs within the European Union Exporting within the EU is actually classed as “intra- community trade”, and is considerably easier than exporting further afield. Each individual member state has its own requirements and before you make plans to book transport, etc., you will need to familiarise yourself with these by contacting Defra‟s Inter- national Centre for Exports in Carlisle - the main centre for exports of live animals. They will send you the information you need. Or you can look on the Defra website where you will find these requirements listed. At the time of writing, I believe the only member state within the EU which requires blood testing is Northern Ireland. First plan your journey. If you are selling pigs abroad as a business (i.e. for profit) then you must have the ap- propriate vehicle approval documents and you must Small crates for transporting weaners can be fastened securely also be licensed to transport the animals yourself. inside a trailer Licences vary according to journey duration, so check with Defra‟s Welfare in Transit department. If your customer is coming to collect the pigs, the job will be a whole lot simpler as he will be permitted to transport them without an official transport licence. His vehicle will, however, need to meet certain require- ments. Small weaners can be legally transported in containers in a car, provided the containers are suitable. You must apply for an Export Health Certificate. If you are sending your animals within Europe, you can find the appropriate documents at http://animalhealth.defra.gov.uk/about/publications/forms/ EXA31.pdf If you are the haulier, a journey log (http://www.defra.gov.uk/forms/files/wit7.pdf ) will be required when you apply for your Export Health Certificate. This details dates, times, intended rest stops, vehicle details, shipping/aircraft details, pig details and destination details. The document will be sent to your vet along with the Health Certificate once it has been approved by Carlisle. You must return the com- pleted document to Defra within a month of completing the journey. If blood tests are required, the animals must have lived on the holding for a minimum of 30 days.

  • Deer Departed: a Study of the News Coverage of the Death of the Exmoor Emperor
    Page 48 Journalism Education Volume 1 number 1 Deer departed: a study of the news coverage of the death of the Exmoor Emperor Alec Charles, University of Bedfordshire Abstract. This paper explores the socio-political symbol- ism which underpinned the UK’s mainstream national press coverage of the death of a red deer stag known as the Exmoor Emperor during the autumn of 2010. It em- ploys both qualitative and quantitative methods of con- tent analysis, and draws upon interviews with journalists and public figures involved in the telling of this story in order to suggest reasons behind the significant public and media interest in a narrative which had no ostensi- ble material impact upon a general readership. In doing so, it proposes that journalists, journalism students and journalism educators might significantly benefit from viewing the meaning of apparently trivial news stories through the frames of broader contexts and subtexts, and that such an approach might prove more enduringly useful than a pedagogical focus upon more ephemeral technicalities. The actor-comedian Steve Coogan in his online sitcom Mid Morning Matters (2011) and in the guise of his celebrated alter ego, North Norfolk Digital radio presenter Alan Partridge, imagined a scenario in which Britain’s “last osprey egg is stolen and scrambled for a Rus- sian oligarch’s breakfast – who eats it without one iota of remorse.” Coogan appears to be satirising the furore which had engulfed the UK news media just a few months earlier when another representative of Britain’s native fauna had been reported slaughtered, apparently at the hands of a wealthy foreign national.

  • Tamworth Pigs Leaflet
    Welcome to Tamworth TAMWORTH Pigs Tamworths are renowned for producing excellent quantities of both pork and bacon, due to their ability to achieve high body mass with little fat. In the 1990s the Tamworth came top in a taste test conducted by Bristol University. Today there are thought to be less than 300 registered breeding sows in the UK, leading to the breed being classified as ‘Vulnerable’ by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.

However, the breed’s most distinctive feature is its ginger, orange-red coat. This colouration has led to to the breed being known as ‘Sandybacks’ or ‘Tamworth Reds’. Early breeds are believed to have had less prominent features and colours ranging from pale Two Tamworth Pigs escaped on their way to ginger, to dark mahogany, and some with black and an abattoir in Malmesbury, Wiltshire in red spots. Many of these traits are similar to those of wild English forest pigs. January 1998.
