We at Stover have shared with many families their trials and tribulations . However, working with young people always produces delights and successes too and these remind us that, however bleak things may seem, there are always golden moments to treasure . I hope you will here add one of the golden moments that has enhanced my year;, I hope each of you will also stop and look back on the busy life of the school this year and remember with pleasure something which has made you, whether as pupil, parent, Governor, member of staff or ex-pupil feel proud to be part of the Stover tradition. A NIGHT AT THE OPERA It is always a pleasure to hear news of ex-pupils and receive their letters - but it is even more of a pleasure when the letter includes an invitation to the opera. Those of you who have current prospectuses will find in it a picture of an ex-pupil, Tiffany Evans, who commented on the fact that at Stover she was allowed to combine her love of Arts and Sciences in the Sixth Form at Advanced Level and develop all aspects of her personality. Whilst she was reading for a degree in Business Administration at Bath University she regularly became involved in the Bath Festival organisation and on graduating she obtained the post of Marketing Assistant with English Touring Opera . Therefore, when the company brought Verdi's "Falstaff' to the Northcott Theatre in Exeter, Tiffany was sent to host the press reception and deal with the press coverage. I thus had the double pleasure of watching the opera and watching an ex-pupil performing her work with all the poise, confidence and skill that the staff work to help our pupils achieve. Sometimes the role of teacher (or headmistress) can seem a thankless task but I know that the moments when successes, small or large, can be seen are those moments to enjoy and savour, for it is these that make teachers "tick" and I know that my invitation was a way of one ex-pupil saying "thank-you" to Stover for its role in her life.

  • Mortimers in the 16Th Century Devon Tax Rolls in 1524, Henry VIII Raised
    Mortimers in the 16th century Devon Tax Rolls In 1524, Henry VIII raised a tax in attempt to fund the war with France. This was repeated again in 1543. These records are among the earliest accessible records of Mortimers in Devon and give us a glimpse of the prosperity and distribution of members of the Mortimer family during the first half of the 16th century. Overall, there were 25 men and women listed in 1524, having already spread to 16 parishes. 19 years later, they had absented from several of the aforementioned parishes but expanded to 19 parishes. The name has been standardised to Mortimer for internet search purposes. Little meaning was attached to the spellings of names in the 1500s and spelling varied widely.

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

  • Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING
    5k Environmentol Protection Report WATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 April 1992 FW P/9 2/ 0 0 1 Author: B Steele Technicol Assistant, Freshwater NRA National Rivers Authority CVM Davies South West Region Environmental Protection Manager HATER QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS 1992 _ . - - TECHNICAL REPORT NO: FWP/92/001 The maps in this report indicate the monitoring locations for the 1992 Regional Water Quality Monitoring Programme which is described separately. The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a.
