English Spring 1 Team Galena Homework Spring 1 Each week choose a piece of homework you would like to do from the grid. These are the choices for this half term and there are more than you need to choose from, so there will be some you haven’t done by the end of the half term. There are some longer pieces and others will be quicker to complete so you can choose which ones you have time for each week. Cross off and date as you finish the tasks and think what you could put in your homework book to show what you did.

  • Vol-14-No-1.Pdf
    EDITORIAL Another year has come and gone, and we trust that 1989 will be a happy and prosperous one for all our members. If our Society is to continue to flourish, however, it is essential that more members should play an active part in running its affairs. Ken Brown, our Secretary since 1983 (and acting Programme Organiser for the last year), is resigning at the Annual General Meeting in May, and Irene Blackburn, who is responsible for the Members' Interests and Second Time Around sections of the Journal, will be giving up her position as Research Editor later in the year. We are very grateful to them both for all the work they have done on our behalf. In addition to these two posts, we are still short of a Programme Organiser. If you know of anyone who might be willing to take on any of these jobs please let Ken Brown know as soon as possible - otherwise the Society may come to a grinding halt. One of the most important events of 1988 as far as the Society was concerned was the publication of the long-awaited Directory of Members' Interests. Its production entailed a great deal of hard work on the part of those responsible, and it also placed a severe strain on the Society's finances. In view of the fact that it was initially offered free to members (only the cost of postage and packing being charged), the demand for copies was disappointingly small. Copies are still available, and although now priced £2.75 each (post free to addresses in the U.K.), they are very good value.

  • Northumberland Visitor Survey 2013
    NORTHUMBERLAND VISITOR SURVEY 2013 1 1. INTRODUCTION In 2005/06 One North East carried out the first region wide visitor survey for North East England to establish baseline profiles of tourists to the region. The survey was repeated in 2008 and again in 2010 to establish any changes in consumer demographics or behaviours. Following the abolition of the RDA’s the Northern Tourism Alliance recognised the importance of ensuring we have the most up to date information possible on our visitors and chose to come together to fund visitor survey interviews in 2013. This report summarises the findings for the interviews undertaken in Northumberland. The key objectives of the survey were to: To inform development decisions for Durham and the North East Understand visitor satisfaction and identify areas for improvement Understand people’s motivation for visiting Gather visitor profiles such as demographics, booking sources, use of the internet etc Gather economic expenditure data to feed into economic impact reports We received a total return of 334 completed surveys which were a mixture of online responses and surveys completed at attractions such as Woodhorn and Bamburgh Castle. 2 2. KEY FINDINGS Visitor Profiles 59% of visitors to Northumberland are staying overnight. 16% of visitors are new visitors while more than 1/3rd have been more than 20 times before. 41% of visitors said their main reason for visit was to visit heritage sites. General sightseeing and visiting artistic or heritage exhibits also came out highly. 9 out of 10 visitors use their own car to travel to Northumberland Previous visits to the region play a significant role in visitors choosing to return.

  • Songs of the Sea in Northumberland
    Songs of the Sea in Northumberland Destinations: Northumberland & England Trip code: ALMNS HOLIDAY OVERVIEW Sea shanties were working songs which helped sailors move in unison on manual tasks like hauling the anchor or hoisting sails; they also served to raise spirits. Songs were usually led by a shantyman who sang the verses with the sailors joining in for the chorus. Taking inspiration from these traditional songs, as well as those with a modern nautical connection, this break allows you to lend your voice to create beautiful harmonies singing as part of a group. Join us to sing with a tidal rhythm and flow and experience the joy of singing in unison. With a beachside location in sight of the sea, we might even take our singing outside to see what the mermaids think! WHAT'S INCLUDED • High quality Full Board en-suite accommodation and excellent food in our Country House • Guidance and tuition from a qualified leader, to ensure you get the most from your holiday • All music HOLIDAYS HIGHLIGHTS • Relaxed informal sessions • An expert leader to help you get the most out of your voice! • Free time in the afternoons www.hfholidays.co.uk PAGE 1 [email protected] Tel: +44(0) 20 3974 8865 ACCOMMODATION Nether Grange Sitting pretty in the centre of the quiet harbour village of Alnmouth, Nether Grange stands in an area rich in natural beauty and historic gravitas. There are moving views of the dramatic North Sea coastline from the house too. This one-time 18th century granary was first converted into a large family home for the High Sheriff of Northumberland in the 19th century and then reimagined as a characterful hikers’ hotel.

Just to the east of School House (what is now Brereton House and the Linen Room) he had drawn a Chapel.
