E. BECKERLEGGE and N. R. PHILLIPS SECRETARIES' REPORT FOR 1968 During the year the Membership rose to 973 : 151 new Members were elected and losses by resignations and deaths amounted to 44. Amongst our losses we regret the death of Mr. R. H. Mears, of Falmouth, one of the small band of our Founder Members and who had served on the Executive Committee giving good counsel for many years and a staunch supporter of the Society at all times. Two General Meetings and two Executive Committee Meetings were held. At the Annual General Meeting an important change in the Rule relating to election to the Executive Committee was approved. Under it the elected body of the Committee is increased to fifteen, so that after three successive years elections of five members one-third of the Committee will retire under the Rule providing for a three-year term of service. This will provide for better continuity of membership. A second proposal to provide for written nomination of candidates for election to the Executive Committee was also adopted. After the business, an illustrated talk by Mr. L. Shore, of Exeter, on the Bird Sanctuaries of Great Britain and entitled "To Everything a Season," was given. At the Autumn General Meeting the film " Seabirds' Summer " was shown, the colour photography of the cliff scenes being especially appreciated by those present. Several Field Days were held. A deputation from the Society met a sub-committee from the South Cornwall Water Board to discuss the possibility of Bird Conservation and Protection at Stithians Reservoir and to ask for access for study. The deputation received a friendly hearing and an interim permission for access for study has been granted. The Society was also represented at a meeting convened at Liskeard by the East Cornwall Water Board relative to amenity facilities to be granted at Siblyback Reservoir, Liskeard. 2 It has not been possible to arrange for a wildfowl refuge there, owing to sailing being permitted during winter: but it will be possible for Members to enter the enclosure on payment of One Pound per person per annum later. Some twenty acres of water have too shallow depth for sailing at one end and may prove attractive to migrating waders. At the end of the year a small deputation from the Society met a sub-committee of the Falmouth Borough Council to discuss ways and means of retaining some natural vegetation around Swanpool sufficiently to conserve breeding sites, whilst not inter­ fering with boating facilities. The Society's representatives were sympathetically received and a useful and interesting meeting took place, resulting in satisfactory arrangements. An attempt to reach some agreement to limit reclamation of the interesting and valuable willow-swamps at Penrose, Helston, and for consultation was unsuccessful, although the Society was informed that further reclamation was not contemplated. It is much to be regretted that any destruction of these willow-swamps, which are a natural wintering place for Chiffchaffs and are apparently rather similar to its Central African wintering habitats, has taken place. TREASURER'S REPORT The Society enjoyed another very successful year. Membership during the period under review rose to a record figure of 973. An increase of 107 on the previous year. Income was again up on the previous year, and this enabled us to transfer £289. 11. 11 to the Accumulated Fund. Postage and secretarial expenses rose slightly, but the amount spent on printing and stationery was held down. Repayment of income tax increased from £53 to £92. 19. 2. The total assets of the Society now stand at £2,685. 2. 6, less the amount still outstanding to the Cornwall River Authority. This figure now stands at £624. 3. 10. The Society's thanks are due to Mr. Kenneth W. M. Bawden for kindly auditing the account for us. 3 INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT R THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER, 1968 EXPENDITURE INCOME £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d. £ s. d.

Applications for Membership and Any Information affecting membership, such as changes of address, should also be sent to the Honorary Treasurer and Registrar: Mr. P. R. G. Marriott, 59 Daniell Road, Truro. OBITUARY By the death of Mr. W. J. Goddard the Society has lost a very efficient and hard-working officer and a very charming personality. During his term of office as Registrar and Treasurer the Society's membership rose from 650 to 1,000 and he always made new members personally welcome. Wilfrid Goddard was also a cricket enthusiast and a great supporter of Cornish cricket, serving on a number of committees. He had a distinguished war record in the First World War. Having joined the Artists' Rifles in 1916, he was commissioned in the following year with the Royal West Kent's. He was wounded in February, 1918, while serving with the regiment in France. In April, 1918, he was awarded the M.C. for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Later he transferred to the R.F.C. and served as an observer until he was demobilized in 1919. After the war he rejoined the Insurance Company for whom he had worked until he joined the Army. 7 He became a well-known and respected figure in that Company, and was Manager of their Manchester Branch from 1945 until his retirement after 44 years' service in 1958.

The Design & Access Statement has been produced by the Cornwall Planning Group on behalf of the client Mr B Thomas. This Statement accompanies associated plans and documentation, seeking the Councils permission on the principle of. Construction of Agricultural Building, Greenhouse Building & Associated Works on 35 Acre Farm. My client has recently established planning permission for a replacement farmhouse dwelling at his property ‘Pengelly’ with the land acquisition of 35 acres of surrounding land as indicated on our planning proposal. The need for the agricultural buildings is justified with the following processes. 1. Lambing Shed. 2. Potting shed and greenhouse to grow vegetables. 3. Various farming machinery. 4. The restoration of the land is currently undergoing a vast 650 tree planting scheme 5. The agricultural building will naturally need to be used as feed storage for the animals, as well as lambing and various other agricultural related activities. After conducting research of the site and surrounding area it has been noted that recent development sites have been approved within the area.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015
    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015 St Kew parish, one of over 220 in the Duchy of Cornwall, is north of the town of Wadebridge, north of the Camel Valley and inland from Port Isaac in North Cornwall. About 1100 people are permanent residents of the 6500-acre parish and live in hamlets and farms connected by hedge-lined lanes. The lanes are narrow and twisting. Drive with care. Forty miles an hour can lead to some scary encounters with wildlife, other drivers or walkers. Both cyclists and eight and half foot-wide tractors are on a stop-for-nothing mission. The ancient hamlets are called Chapel Amble, Trewethern, Trewethen, St Kew Highway, St Kew, Trelill, Trequite, Tregellist, and Pendoggett. The origins of St Kew parish, lurk in the mists of time. Ancient beginnings have emerged in the work of many historians, archaeologists and people researching family records that are constantly being discovered. Although I am not one of those lucky types, I have developed a spectator interest during many visits to Cornwall, starting back in the early 1970s. Today, the parish is all quiet farmland. There once was a railway, but the station at St Kew Highway closed in the 1960s. Now a main road runs north to south, the A39, optimistically named the Atlantic Highway, and the B3314 road clips the north-west corner through Pendoggett, but all roads by-pass the church town of St Kew. 1 The heart of St Kew parish is St Kew hamlet and the parish church, St James the Great.
