Special thanks to my wonderful Husband, Sister, & next-door Neighbour who have done so much for me. You have all kept me positive and cheered me, especially now I am on the road to recovery. My best wishes to all Viv Mortiboys Thankyou On behalf of the family, and myself, we cannot find the words to thank you wonderful people, who came and supported us at our lovely Sybil’s funeral. The genuine affection for our lovely lady was there for all to see. Thank you all, many times over. G Tizzard Common Courtesy Last Friday, 3 pensioners got on the bus at Hawkesbury; what was good was the fact the bus was virtually full and by the time everyone got on at Hawkesbury there was standing room only, and Yes, all 3 had to stand all the way to Yate. Not one person offered a seat. There were at least 6 teenagers - of which 2 got on at Hawkesbury with their mother - and a number of 8 - 12 year olds. I find it incredulous that: 1. Just out of common politeness the teenagers could have offered a seat and 2. That the Mothers didn't tell the children to stand (or sit on their laps) for the Oldies. Would they have let a pregnant lady stand too ??? Surely to goodness everyone knows you offer a seat to a Pensioner or an Expectant Lady.............. p.s. I am not one of the 3 !!! but was told about this and could not believe my ears - hence this letter. Joan Yuil Volunteer Required Anyone with a few hours to spare each week?

  • South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group
    COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington.

  • Thursday 5Th April. Amcor to Hawkesbury Upton. Report from Bill Balchin: It Must Be Really Difficult to Write an Original Song W
    Thursday 5th April. Amcor to Hawkesbury Upton. Report from Bill Balchin: It must be really difficult to write an original song without upsetting somebody who claims that you have copied some elements of their lyric or music. Many copyright claims are settled with large sums involved. Famous examples include George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and the Chiffons' "He's So Fine"; Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up". (OK Bill we get the picture - Ed). And more recently Ed Sheeran's "Photograph and Matt Cardles "Amazing". (Just get on with it NOW - Ed). Luckily we have no such problems in the BTOTC with making up routes otherwise I would owe Martyn a double whammy. First for the technique of using regular homeward routes for the outward section and second for reminding me about Winterbourne Down (which Mike Sennett also used successfully last month but with all different lanes). There was a crowd of well over twenty assembled at the Amcor start under blue skies, having ridden there on dry roads with light winds. A fantastic turnaround in the weather and looking good for today's cycling. There was to be an easier route led by Steve and Don but the plan for my lot was to ride up to Winterbourne and then drop down Dragon Road, over the Frome and around Bury Hill. Many may be unaware of a hidden gem at Bury Hill - an iron age hilltop fort. You know what a fort is - big square construction of vertical timbers with a gate in one wall and towers at each corner.

  • Katharine Lady Berkeley's School
    A Brief Outline of the School’s History, Aims, Intake and Examination Results History Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School was founded on 20 October 1384 by Katharine, the wife of Lord Berkeley, in order to support the education of two local scholars. Since that date, the school has operated continuously to support the education of secondary age pupils in Wotton-under-Edge and the surrounding areas. The school moved into buildings in School Lane in Wotton-under-Edge in 1726 and remained there, with various additions until the end of 1962. In 1961, the erection of a new building for 350 pupils on the present site in Kingswood Road was started and in January 1963, Katharine Lady Berkeley's Grammar School vacated the premises in the town and moved into the new buildings. Extensions to the Kingswood Road buildings began in 1972 and they were completed for the start of the Autumn term in 1973 when Wotton Secondary School joined the Grammar School to be re-opened as a comprehensive school for 830 pupils. Additional accommodation has been added to the school over the last 25 years with a major additional build completed in September 2000 to provide 12 new classrooms, 3 Science laboratories and a new school library. New Music accommodation was completed in Summer 2003 and further building work to replace two existing temporary classrooms and to provide two additional rooms was completed in September 2004. While new buildings have not been added since that date, all windows, roofing and other work has been carried out to ensure that the fabric of the school is in good condition.

    Local Talk Back MAY 2021 ISSUE 515 It’s Tulip Day at Badminton House Open Gardens. Photograph by Gill Love, Acton Turville ____________________________________________________________ A MAGAZINE WITH NEWS, VIEWS AND REPORTS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF ACTON TURVILLE, BADMINTON AND LITTLE BADMINTON EDITORIAL MAY 2021 I think it’s fair to say 2021 has got off to a strange start. As we enter May, the weather forecast is still suggesting we can expected frost, meaning our conservatory and any available window sills are home to a collection of rapidly- growing bedding plants. They enjoy the odd day outdoors, and even stay out overnight if the forecast is amenable, but I’ve not yet been brave enough to plant them in the garden. Hopefully the plants won’t develop an aversion to outdoor living, unlike my sister’s rabbit which realised life in a nice warm house was much preferable to being stuck in a cold hutch at the bottom of the garden. It provided my sister with much-needed company and a sympathetic ear, but blotted its copy book when it started chewing through cables. The phone line was its favourite, which it severed on numerous occasions. It only got half way though a mains cable though before it learned a very valuable lesson. It’s safe to say it never did that (or anything else) again. May is when we can traditionally look forward to those summer events we all look forward to taking place, such as the village fetes, country fairs and outdoor music events that are always so popular.
