However, all the enthusiasm and dedication she brought to being the AS she now brings to footpath matters, where she will be a great asset. A very big thank you, then, goes to Eleanor, together with our best wishes. Regrettably no volunteer stepped forward to fill the resulting vacancy and I have therefore taken it on in a strictly temporary capacity, as has the new Minutes Secretary (Gillian Kent). Neither of these posts is desperately onerous. They are in fact interesting and rewarding, so will some willing members kindly offer their services, please. In what has become known as “The Dorset Case” the “20 year principal” was overturned, putting all footpath claims in jeopardy. Maintaining that principal as the status quo is vital to the interests of all ramblers and, naturally, the RA is fighting the judgement hard. It has now won leave to appeal to the House of Lords, a first for the Association and one that is historically significant. Litigation is of course very costly and following an appeal your Executive Committee has decided to contribute £5,000 towards the costs. For its part Norwich Group has also contributed £500 and it is understood that other Areas/Groups are doing likewise. The appeal in the Lords is expected to be heard sometime later this year, watch this space and “Walk” magazine. Derek Goddard: Area Secretary (Acting) From The Area News Editor Just after Easter this year, I had the pleasure, along with Eleanor Martin, of attending the Rambers Association General Council. This was a fascinating experience, and gave me a greater understanding of what the RA does nationally. One particularly interesting conversation that I had, was regarding the national idea of a 20’s and 30’s group. It would appear that Norfolk is one of the few counties that hasn’t yet formed such a group. As a member of that age range myself, I joined the fringe meeting and was greatly encouraged to hear the experiences of members of 20’s and 30’s groups in other counties, and to realise what such a group could do for Norfolk. I am now keen, with support from Central Office, to assist in creating a group in Norfolk. If you are interested, or have any comments, then please email me at [email protected], or phone me on 01362 851547. Richard May: Area News Editor 2 31 The Ramblers’ Association Norfolk Area Newsletter & Walks Programme August — November 2006 Keep Back Please! Walks leaders have to manage many things – the route and terrain, timings and stops, changeable weather, and varying ability among the walkers. They should not need to continually watch for people pushing ahead. It can be embarrassing to have to call walkers back, annoying if they miss turnings, and worrying if there are known hazards ahead. The leader has recce'd the route and is carefully setting the pace – please don't try to force it. Also, walkers ahead of the leader aren't covered by RA's insurance. Basically, forging ahead is just bad manners. If the walk is too slow for you, perhaps it's the wrong walk? So please, stay with or behind the leader, and let him or her do the leading. Patrick Bonham, Chairman, Sheringham Group Use Your Paths Challenge Have you heard about the Ramblers Association “Use Your Paths Challenge?” This is a nationwide challenge to check over every path across the UK. It can be done by individuals, or groups. All you need to do is pick one or more grid squares from an OS map, and walk every public right of way within that square. If you come across any problems (obstructions, missing signposts etc) you should report them to Norfolk County Council on 01603 222143 or you can report them online at http://tinyurl.com/o8amp . Once you have completed this, you can record the squares which you have done, via the challenge website, and they will be marked on the map so that other people can see that the square has been checked. Also, if any squares have no public rights of way at all, then this can be recorded on the map too! Looking at the progress map for Norfolk, I notice that we have quite a way to go yet! The are some squares marked as no public rights of way along the north coast and further inland in the Wells-next-the-Sea area. Sheringham has obviously been busy with over 40 squares marked as fully checked! Beyond that, there are 7 squares marked in the Catton area, seven squares near Tacolneston and a lot of squares marked (mainly as no paths) in the Thetford area. As I am sure you can work out from the above status report, this leaves a great deal of Norfolk unchecked. The challenge runs until September 2007, so why not take this chance to pick a few squares and check them out. The website is at www.useyourpaths.info and is full of useful information as well as the map of results. However, if you want to take part but don’t have Internet access then Richard May has offered to help out. Give him a ring on (01362) 851547 to check that the squares you are proposing to walk haven’t already been done, and then let him know afterwards and he will record your results online. 30 3 The Ramblers’ Association Norfolk Area Newsletter & Walks Programme August — November 2006 Path Changes from the Footpath Co-ordinator Walking in the Dordogne Beautiful 18c Perigordine house centrally located Room price per day based on a week stay Beighton FP3 & 4 Diversion (Confirmed 29/03/06) TG 398.075.

  • The Herbarium of Rev. Edgar Marston Reynolds
    Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of Rev. Edgar Marston Reynolds Edited by Phil Watson and Sue Attwood © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 November 2013 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of EM Reynolds 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of EM Reynolds Introduction The files in Birmingham contain no biographical data on Reverend Edgar Marston Reynolds other than his dates 1892-1977. His herbarium which was presented to the museum in 1979 contains just over 2,700 specimens. All of these were collected by Reynolds himself between the years 1904 to 1974 with his most active period of collecting from 1910 to 1933. He collected specimens from eighty eight of the vice-counties, from five Irish counties and from four of the Channel Islands. Seven hundred specimens, almost a quarter of the collection, are from Norfolk (VC 27 and 28). The next biggest concentration is from Warwickshire with 150 specimens. Thereafter Dorset accounts for 140 and Perthshire for 117. Although he seems to have visited the Channel Islands on eight occasions he only collected ninety three specimens there. His visits took place in 1911 (Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark), 1912 (Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney), 1913, 1922, 1923 (Guernsey only) 1924 (Jersey) and 1925, 1927 (Guernsey). He collected even less (39 specimens) on his four trips to Ireland in 1913 (Mayo), 1921 (Wexford), 1929 (Kerry) and 1931 (Kerry and Cork). The Checklist The collections of vascular plants in Birmingham were re-assessed, and in some cases re-boxed, in the 1980s under the supervision of the then Keeper, Dr Brian Abell Seddon and a team of volunteers.
