  • Log for 2019
    Log for 2019 December Monday 30th : Clear the Cobwebs ride - Photos 15 Bikes joined Ride Leader Peter Ostinelli for the last ride of the season (and blessed with dry and sunny weather) which went mostly well as unfortunately half missed the drop off and made their own way down to Brighton, joining us about half an hour later! The ride back was good with all 15 bikes keeping together!! My thanks go to the backmarkers: Dell Evans, Chris Doody, Paul Cutler and Mark Halliday. All in all a very enjoyable ride. Saturday 21st : Carols and Mince Pies @ GH-D - Photos A lovely way to end the 2019 singing carols accompanied by Wavy Davey, eating mince pies and chatting with friends. So a big thank you to everyone who turned up as we managed to raise £161 for Chapter charities. Thursday 5th - Club Night @ GH-D - Photos 1 | 2 A festive Club Night at the Dealership as we approach the end of the year. There was a fashion show, refreshments supplied by GH-D, singing with Wavy Davey (and guests!) plus news of additional events happening in January and February next year. November Saturday 30th - LoH to Winchester Christmas Market - Photos Saturday 30th - Santa Run - Photos Saturday 23rd - End of Season Party - Photos 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 What a brilliant night and with 145 tickets sold, we definitely needed the bigger venue and the Hilton Cobham was perfect. The theme this year was "The Movies" and what a fantastic array of costumes: the Mad Hatter, Beetle Juice, Popeye and Olive to mention just a few what an excellent effort by everyone that attended.

In this regard paragraph 10.2 states that “Schemes should therefore demonstrate that, where possible, they have taken all possible steps to minimise and mitigate their impacts upon landscape, townscape, waterscape and heritage assets, including listed buildings. Schemes should be mindful of the landscape and townscape impacts of any urbanisation that might be a consequence of the delivery of new capacity”. The required outputs from the Place module are set out in paragraph 10.25 of Appendix A (10) and in relation to landscape character and heritage assets this requires “an assessment of the landscape, townscape, waterscape and heritage assets affected, considering the scale and importance of the places and features”.
