COUNTY NEWS June 2019 COUNTY Federation of Women’s Institutes NEWS 1919 TO 2019 June 2019 TWINCHIES Message from our Federation Chairman As I write it is only a month since our annual meeting at Theatre Severn. I hope those of you who had the privilege of attending enjoyed it as much as I did (once I had got over my nerves!) It was a pleasure to see so many of you and our speakers were all excellent but I am sure the other two would not mind if I single out Eran Cutliffe as truly inspiring – she is a remarkable young woman. In less than a month your delegates will be boarding the coaches which will take us to Bournemouth for the NFWI annual meeting. It is always worth hearing the expert speakers who give us more information about the resolutions. It is great to see members from all over the country assembled together, it reminds us that we are much bigger than our own monthly WI meeting and certainly counts as an inspiring occasion. If you have never been to either an SFWI or an NFWI annual meeting please consider being prepared to act as a delegate next year. It is not an onerous task and a great way to see the WI in action, not to mention hugely enjoyable. If you are not normally free in the daytime, it is even worth taking a day off work. We on the board of trustees hope that another inspiring occasion will be our centenary tea party at Concord College on 29 June. There will be more than two hundred and fifty of us as two members from each WI have been invited. I am really looking forward to it and especially to meeting members who do not often have chance to attend federation events. Hope to see you there.

  • Loppington, Colemere
    Days Out with a religious theme or connection North-west of Shrewsbury – Battlefield, Preston Gubbals, Ruyton XI Towns, Loppington, Colemere. Sculpture of medieval weapons of war, at the site of Battlefield Church, near Shrewsbury. Battlefield Magda and I chose St Valentine’s Day, probably the first mild and sunny day of 2019, to explore the area of Shropshire to the north-west of Shrewsbury. Our choices were guided by the excellent leaflet published by the Shropshire Churches Tourism Group. We began with a very famous church near Shrewsbury, near the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. B u ilt The church is on the site of the medieval Battle of Shrewsbury; Magda investigates the lychgate carvings! Alas, the church is no longer used for worship but it is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust. We were unable to go inside. However, the stonework outside features some wonderful gargoyles. The Chapel was built in 1406 to commemorate those who died in the battle – estimated to be around 5,000. The battle was fought on 21 July 1403, waged between an army led by the Lancastrian King Henry IV and a rebel army led by Henry "Harry Hotspur" Percy from Northumberland. It was the first in which English archers fought each other on English soil, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the longbow and ended the Percy challenge to King Henry IV of England. The battle itself and many of the key people involved appear in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. Inside the church, the roof beams display the shields of Henry IV’s knights.

  • Shropshire Middle Severn Catchment Partnership Catchment Plan 2017 – 2020
    Shropshire Middle Severn Catchment Partnership Catchment Plan 2017 – 2020 Shropshire Middle Severn Management Catchment Plan In May 2103 DEFRA published its policy framework, ‘Catchment Based Approach: Improving the quality of our water environment’. Which aimed to encourage the ‘wider adoption of an integrated catchment based approach’ to meeting the targets being set by the Water Framework Directive. This policy document came out of the evaluation of a two year pilot phase and establishes the Catchment Based Approach [CaBA] as the framing method by which the water environment is cared for and viewed in England. A Catchment is a ‘geographic area defined naturally by surface hydrology’ [DEFRA May 2013]. Catchment exist at many scales but the CaBA network of catchment partnerships is based on the EA Management Catchment boundaries. The catchment partnership is a ‘group that works with stakeholders to agree and deliver strategic priorities for the catchment and support the EA in developing an appropriate River Basin management plan, required under the Water Framework Directive’ [DEFRA May 2013]. There are 11 Management Catchments in the River Severn Basin. This document focuses on just one, Shropshire Middle Severn. The Catchment Based Approach is underpinned by being a locally based partnership, supporting localised networking by DEFRA family organisations, building new connections between sectors such as agriculture and utility companies and support local decision making processes. DEFRA expects the catchment partnerships to aid in the process of ‘translating environmental problems in actions’. Actions will vary in scale, for instance practical works are more likely to be localised to waterbody up to providing comment or feedback on River basin planning consultations.

  • Advisory Visit River Perry, Whittington, Shropshire 2Nd
    Advisory Visit River Perry, Whittington, Shropshire 2nd November, 2010 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Perry on 2nd November, 2010 on behalf of Rupert and Harriet Harvey of the Halston Estate. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Ian Morris, keeper for the Halston Estate. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Perry rises in the low hills on the boundary of the North Shropshire sandstone plain and flows south to join the Severn near Shrewsbury. The underlying geology is mostly Bunter Sandstone, overlain with a complex mixture of glacial deposits and soils. In its headwaters it is a stony-bedded stream with a gradient falling from 30 to 15 metres per kilometre (m.km-1), reducing to between 5 and 7 m.km-1 below Gobowen where it flows through alluvial silts and clays (Harper, 1990). The Perry then enters Baggy Moor, a large depression of basin peat where the river gradient is 1 m.km-1 or less. Much of the channel in the upper catchment of the Perry has been heavily modified to improve drainage for agriculture. Main and tributary channels have been extensively canalised; for example a scheme in 1985-88 lowered the river bed by 1 metre between Rednal and Ruyton to increase the drainage of Baggy Moor and intensify agricultural land use.

    The United Kingdom Learning Objective: To be able to identify and explore the major rivers of the UK. www.planbee.com NEXT How many rivers of the UK can you name? Do you know which UK river is the longest? BACK www.planbee.com NEXT What exactly is a river? Can you think of a definition? Write one below as a class... BACK www.planbee.com NEXT A river is a large natural stream of water flowing in a channel to the sea, a lake or another channel. Rivers always start their journey at a SOURCE. The source is always in an area of high altitude and can come from a natural spring or from where water gathers from precipitation (rain or snow). The water then starts running down the hill or mountain until it reaches the sea. Rivers run very quickly at the beginning of their journey but then slow down as they reach flatter land. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT Large rivers are often joined on their journey by smaller rivers or streams called TRIBUTARIES. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT As the water carves its way through the landscape, it can often cause twists and turns called MEANDERS. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT The point where the river meets the sea or ocean is called the MOUTH of the river. Sometimes, the mouth of the river can create a DELTA. A delta is a landform that occurs from the deposition of sediment. This means that the rocks, stones and soil carried along by the river are built up on the land.

  • Advisory Visit River Perry, Shropshire June 2019
    Advisory Visit River Perry, Shropshire June 2019 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Perry at Yeaton Peverey Estate, Shropshire, on 10th June 2019. Comments in this report are based on observations during the site visit and discussions with Jack Cooper of Balfours, the agent for the owners of the fishery. Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream and downstream references are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively, for convenience. The Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system is used for identifying specific locations. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview This section of the River Perry was the subject of a previous Wild Trout Trust advisory visit in March 2009 and the report of that visit contains background information on the catchment and fishery at Yeaton Peverey (https://www.wildtrout.org/assets/reports/Perry2009.pdf). The section of river inspected falls within the Water Framework Directive waterbody: Perry - conf Tetchill Bk to conf R Severn (Table 1). This waterbody is currently classified as moderate status overall (on a scale of high, good, moderate, poor and fail), based on a number of measured parameters including plant, algae, invertebrate and fish populations, along with physical and chemical measures. Fish and invertebrates are rated as moderate and high respectively, whilst plants and algae (macrophytes and phytobenthos) are moderate, probably reflecting the moderate and poor ratings for dissolved oxygen and phosphate respectively.

One way of achieving this aim is through the production of Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs), which provide a framework for protecting and improving our local environment. This is the second Annual Review of the Middle Severn LEAP. Its purpose is to highlight the progress that has been made by the Agency and others during the past year, in tackling the issues and problems identified in the Action Plan. The progress that has been made over the last twelve months reflects the commitment of all those involved in the plan, and highlights the importance of the partnership approach developed through the LEAP process.
