Editorial First, my apologies for the late arrival of this newsletter – due to circumstances beyond my control. As I write this the weather has still not gone beyond the decidedly wintry; but let us hope for better things after Easter. As usual, Linda has put forward a great programme for the summer, one in which everyone can find something of interest. Get in quick!! Thanks too to Martin Wilson for his up-date on Crossness. [email protected] Geoff Birch 2.

Society News Report of the Planning, Conservation and Environment Committee The committee met on 18 th February and on 25 th March. The Chairman is standing down after 12 years and a successor is being discussed. This involves not only the chairman but also other officers of the committee, who will be needed to take on some of the tasks taken by the outgoing chairman. At the meeting of the committee on 25 th March Sylvia Malt agreed to be acting Chairman and Jean Gammons agreed to become the secretary. Recent planning applications of note include the Seven Stars and the Tudor Cottages in Foots Cray High Street. Concern was expressed over the application to install polytunnels at Honeydale Farm, which would have an adverse impact on the local environment. The outcome of the appeal by the developer of the Black Horse, Sidcup, is awaited. What is believed to be a Byzantine coin of the early medieval times was discovered in the River Shuttle. John Mercer Chairman, Planning, Conservation and Environment Committee Report of the Social and Education Committee Firstly, I would like to give a special thanks to all of you who supported our Quiz Night on 19 th January, which raised £634.13 towards our Children’s Art Exhibition at Hall Place, and also to those that provided raffle prizes. The Art Exhibition was, once again, a great success and very popular with the public – thank you to Maureen Ridley for organizing her 37th annual exhibition. We have just returned from our weekend in Bath which I am told was enjoyed by all; a write-up on that weekend will appear in the next newsletter. In the events to come in this newsletter I trust you will find something of interest, with more to come later in the year. As the Society was instrumental in setting up the Friends of Red House, we are again inviting you to join us at our garden party on Saturday, 15 th June; details of the September concert garden party will be with the next newsletter. Both are really good days, especially if the weather is good!! See you all soon. Linda Hubbard Chairman, Social and Education Committee -4- Report of the Membership and Publicity Committee It is with regret that I have to inform you that Jane Dole has had to relinquish her role as our website manager. The Society owes her an enormous debt of gratitude for her work in this capacity and her shoes will be very hard to fill. If any of our members feel that they could take up this task, or knows of anyone who would be willing to do so, please do get in touch with me, or any of our committee members. Our decorated Christmas tree at Christ Church, Erith looked splendid and evoked numerous compli- mentary comments, and our participation in the charities Fair in the church hall was a great success. We now look forward to the Local History Fair at Crossness, which we are once again organising following on from the success of last year. I am now looking for volunteers to help look after the stall; the date is Sunday, 21 st April. Please let me know if you are available. Elizabeth Sadler Chairman, Membership and Publicity Committee 4. Hazel Birch: It is with sad regret that I have to inform you that Hazel Birch, wife of Geoff Birch, sadly passed away suddenly on Sunday 3 rd March 2013 after being admitted to hospital the previous day. Hazel and Geoff have been members of the Society for many years. Hazel always enjoyed the trips, especially those to the Christmas Markets and the Spring Weekends, where she met and made many new friends. She always strongly supported Geoff, who produces “The Birches” the Newsletter for Bexley Civic Society. On behalf of Bexley Civic Society I would like to send Geoff and his family our deepest sympathy at his sad time. Mike Pooley Chairman, Secretary, Bexley Civic Society 5. Events to Come: st a) Talk – “The Suffragettes”, Friday 31 May, 2013 at 3.00 pm Our second talk for this year, by Ian Porter – one of our favourite speakers, is about the Suffragette movement. The talk will take place in The United Reformed Church at Geddes Place, Bexleyheath at 3.00 p.m. so do come along and support our 2013 talks series. Please send in the completed ticket application form by 27 th May, 2013. In order to save costs tickets will not be issued. th b) Talk – “Other Famous Murders 1811-1911”, Monday 19 August, 2013 at 3.00 pm Our next talk for this year, again by Ian Porter, is about other famous murders (we have already heard about Jack The Ripper). The talk will take place in The United Reformed Church at Geddes Place, Bexleyheath at 3.00 p.m. so do come along and support our 2013 talks series. Please send in the completed ticket application form by 16 th August, 2013. In order to save costs tickets will not be issued. th c) Visit to Herstmonceux Castle, Tuesday 30 April, 2013. Built originally as a country home in the mid 15 th century, Herstmonceux Castle embodies the history of Medieval England and the romance of Renaissance Europe. It is one of the oldest significant brick buildings still standing in England, as brick was an unusual material for the time in Britain. The builders concentrated more on grandeur and comfort than on defence. The castle was dismantled in 1777 leaving the exterior walls standing, and it remained a ruin until the early 20 th century.

  • Bexley Bird Report 2016

    Bexley Bird Report 2016

    Bexley Bird Report 2016 Kingfisher –Crossness – Donna Zimmer Compiled by Ralph Todd June 2017 Bexley Bird Report 2016 Introduction This is, I believe, is the very first annual Bexley Bird Report, it replaces a half yearly report previously produced for the RSPB Bexley Group Newsletter/web-site and Bexley Wildlife web- site. I shall be interested in any feedback to try and measure how useful, informative or welcome it is. I suspect readers will be surprised to read that 153 different species turned up across the Borough during the 12 months of 2016. What is equally impressive is that the species reports are based on just over 13,000 individual records provided by nearly 80 different individuals. Whilst every endeavour has been made to authenticate the records they have not been subject to the rigorous analysis they would by the London Bird Club (LBC) as would normally be the case prior to publication in the annual London Bird Report (LBR). This report has also been produced in advance of the final data being available from LBC as this is not available until mid-summer the following year – it is inevitable therefore that some records might be missing. I am, however, confident no extra species would be added. The purpose of the report is four-fold:- To highlight the extraordinary range of species that reside, breed, pass through/over or make temporary stops in the Borough To hopefully stimulate a greater interest not only in the birds but also the places in which they are found. Bexley Borough has a wide range of open spaces covering a great variety of habitat types.
  • Old Bexley and Sidcup Conservative Association

    Old Bexley and Sidcup Conservative Association

    Rob Leitch Chairman Old Bexley and Sidcup Conservative Association Mr David Owen Review Officer (Bexley) The Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP [email protected] th 4 April 2016 Dear Mr Owen, Re: Response to the Draft Recommendations for the London Borough of Bexley Following the Local Government Boundary Commission's publication of draft boundaries for local elections in the London Borough of Bexley, I am writing in broad support of the recommendations that have been put forward. In general, the proposed boundaries improve the electoral equality of our local wards and respect the important community links that exist across so much of the Borough at present. However, I would like to draw attention to two concerns that I have which both fall within the geographical area of Old Bexley and Sidcup Conservative Association. These are: 1. That the Local Government Boundary Commission should ensure that all shops and flats on Blackfen Road and Westwood Lane are moved into Blackfen & Lamorbey Ward from the currently proposed Blendon & Penhill Ward. Explanation: Ensuring that the whole shopping area was united within one ward was put forward by the council in its submission, and the Labour Group of councillors’ proposal also proposed that the whole of the Blackfen shopping area would fall within the same ward. Changing the proposals to ensure that the shopping area becomes united would affect only a very small number of electors (approximately 50), but corrects an anomaly of the present boundaries that has caused confusion amongst a number of residents over the past few years.

  • 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

    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.
