OUR YEAR in REVIEW the Causes, Clubs and Charities Supported in 2015 WADE FINANCIAL chartered financial planners OUR YEAR IN REVIEW The causes, clubs and charities supported in 2015 Percy Park RFC OUR YEAR IN REVIEW 2015 Welcome to Wade Financial’s year in review, where we look back at the progress made by our supported charities, clubs and causes throughout 2015. We have strengthened our relationships with some of the nation’s largest charities, most notably the NGS, Marie Curie and Macmillan. That said, we have also joined forces with a number of new causes, not least the football- based Lionsraw SA. Likewise, we supported no fewer than four different sports clubs in the area, including West Allotment Celtic, Percy Park RFC and Whitley Bay & Tynemouth Hockey Club. The arts also feature prominently in our sponsorship programme, with community amateur groups such as Linskill Theatre Group and the DMTC Percy Park RFC receiving our support. We would like to wish all of our partners the very best for YOUR CHARTERED 2016, and implore our clients to get behind some of these worthwhile causes in the FINANCIAL PLANNERS community.

  • 1 Tyne & Wear Archives User Guide 3 Methodist Registers
    TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES USER GUIDE 3 METHODIST REGISTERS 1. Registers before 1791 From its origins in the 1730s until the death of John Wesley in 1791 Methodism was closely connected with the Church of England. Many Methodists also attended the parish church (until their gradual exclusion) and hence were usually baptised, married, and buried by the Church of England clergy; entries, therefore appear in the parish registers, sometimes under a separate section for ‘dissenters'. A few Methodist registers survive from the later part of this period. The earliest for Tyne and Wear dates from 1787 - a register of baptisms in the Orphan House, Newcastle (MF 286). 2. 1791-1837 After the death of Wesley, Methodism soon became a separate denomination. It was governed by a Conference and organised nationally as a `Connexion' divided into Districts each made up of Circuits consisting of a number of individual churches or `societies'. During this period there were several divisions in Methodism all of which produced their own registers. The most important were: Wesleyan Methodists: the original and largest group Methodist New Connexion: formed in 1797 Primitive Methodists: originated in Staffordshire in 1807-8 and spread rapidly, especially in northern England Bible Christians: formed in Devon in 1815 and centred mainly in the south west, but there was a group of chapels in Northumberland later taken over by the Primitive Methodists Wesleyan Methodist most of these groups joined in 1857 to Association form the united Methodist Free Churches Wesleyan Reformers: (UMFC) Registers were sometimes kept for individual churches, sometimes for a group of churches or a whole circuit in the same volume.

Further Information Appendix A: Action Plan Appendix B: Profile of our Allotments Appendix C: Key Legislation and Guidance Appendix D: Community Consultation 1. Foreword Allotments are an important part of the everyday landscape of our local neighbourhoods and communities. Yet we frequently take them for granted and don’t give them a second thought as we walk or drive past them. It can be easily overlooked that allotments provide precious green corridors in built up areas and are valued community assets that are enjoyed by all sections of the community. We sometimes forget that they can help improve quality of life by promoting healthy food, exercise and positive mental health . There has been a recent growth of interest in allotments nationally and an increasing appreciation of their social, environmental and economic benefits.

  • TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES of TYNE and WEAR
    ARCHAEOLOGY of the TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES of TYNE and WEAR An Illustrated Guide NEWCASTLE GATESHEAD NORTH TYNESIDE SOUTH TYNESIDE SUNDERLAND A GUIDE TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY DEFENCE SITES OF TYNE AND WEAR by R Whaley, J Morrison and D Heslop Newcastle City Council Tyne & Wear Specialist Conservation Team 2008 1 PREFACE By Alan Rudd Over the centuries the North of England attracted a wide variety of defensive structures to counter threats from both near neighbours and Europe. This led to the development and building of a large number of defensive structures varying from the Roman Wall to the medieval castles for which Northumberland is renowned, up to the twentieth century fortifications of pillboxes and nuclear bunkers. These structures cover a wide variety of types and design, reflecting the military engineering techniques of the time. The period covered in this book is from 1900 to 2000, the Twentieth century, a period of rapidly changing military threats and hardware. We have seen in the period the advent of the plane and the tank and the wane of the military threat from close quarters, to the development of the nuclear bomb and the long-range Cruise missile. In Tyne and Wear a large number of Military structures have been built in this period, these structures began with the redevelopment of the coastal batteries on the Tyne at the start of the century. The batteries built at both Tynemouth and South Shields were at the time “state of the art” with all new guns and emplacements. The next building period came with the onset of the First World War, when some new structures were build though little remains today.
