In the presence of the Society’s President Emeritus Jeremy Gibson and Honorary Secretary Julie Kennedy, the Chairman Wendy Archer called the meeting to order at 8:00pm. She welcomed some 40 attendees to the Society’s 2012 Annual General meeting, reminding those present who were not members that, should there be a vote, they were not eligible to participate. 2. The Chairman then welcomed Jeremy Gibson, President Emeritus of the Society, and invited him to present the opening address in the absence of our President Hugh Kearsey. Hugh and his wife sent their apologies as they were both unable to attend this AGM. Jeremy Gibson welcomed members to this AGM and told the meeting of his particular research; he was very interested in 17thC records and he had published 2 books recently with OFHS. He thanked the Society for their support in their production and was pleased to have been asked to conduct this AGM meeting in the unavoidable absence of Hugh Kearsey. 3. The Chairman thanked Jeremy Gibson for his report and thanked him for his continuing involvement with the Society. She then presented apologies for absence from the Society’s President Hugh Kearsey & his wife Jean, the Honorary Treasurer Linda Dore, committee member Paul Gaskell, and Howard Fuller, Mr & Mrs Hood and Stella Wentworth. 4. The Chairman noted that the Minutes of the 2011 AGM had been circulated to members and invited comments. As there were none, she asked that the Minutes be agreed and accepted as a true record. This was done on a proposal by Maurice Meardon seconded by Mary Newland. 5. The Chairman then presented the Society’s 35th Annual Report, that for 2011, already available in the Members Handbook, and elaborated on parts of it, also updating the audience on Society news. The Society, both the executive committee members and volunteers, had taken on various projects. Amongst the developments were the transcribing of Oxford City 4 Oxfordshire Family History Society, 2013 Members’ Handbook Cemetery grave registers; the photographing and transcribing of Monumental Inscriptions, this year by three separate teams; and, highly significantly, the project of scanning all the Parish registers had been started. We had been out and about, to fairs and various open days around the county and had a stall at Olympia at the Who Do You Think You Are? Live Show, at which we were delighted to meet members and to welcome new friends. It had also been a time for change, Howard Fuller had recently retired from his various posts, and the Chairman said how we were much indebted to him. He was regrettably not able to be with us for the meeting, but she was sure the meeting would wish to send him their love and regards. Another change was that our Editor Tony Hadland was leaving the post and the OFHS committee. The Chairman thanked Tony for all his hard work on our behalf. She also said special thanks to Hugh Kearsey, our President and Project Manager, for the time he gives to the Society. In his absence, she promised to pass such thanks on to him. Finally she recorded thanks to all OFHS helpers, both at the meeting and worldwide. The Chairman concluded by pointing out that the Society is approaching its 36th birthday, and she looked forward to the continuation of its working with enthusiasm within its 2 objectives of public education, and the publishing and preservation of records relating to the County. There being no questions, the Chairman’s report was accepted on a proposal by Alan Simpson and seconded by Kevin Poile. 6. The Chairman then invited the Secretary Mrs Julie Kennedy to present the Accounts for 2011 due to the unavoidable absence of the Honorary Treasurer Linda Dore. These had been agreed by the Independent Examiner and circulated to all members prior to the meeting. Julie delivered a short report on Linda’s behalf to elaborate on the Accounts. There were no questions on the Accounts and they were accepted on a proposal by Becky Vickers, seconded by Tony Hadland. 7. The President Emeritus then conducted the election for the Officers and members of the Executive Committee. He noted that, as no nominations had been received for the positions of Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer, the present incumbents were therefore elected unopposed. The following were therefore elected to those positions and to the Executive Committee: Wendy Archer for the position of Chairman, Julie Kennedy for the position of Secretary, Linda Dore for the position of Treasurer. The position of Editor was vacant as Tony Hadland after 3 years of producing marvellous journals had relinquished his post and retired on a high after receiving an Elizabeth Simpson award and he was duly thanked for his work. Oxfordshire Family History Society, 2013 Members’ Handbook 5 Sue Honoré had been proposed and seconded by the Executive Committee for the position of Editor, and the AGM was asked to endorse their decision, which was done. Four of the remaining Executive Committee members were available and eligible for re-election, and had been nominated according to the Constitution. As no other nominations had been received by the Honorary Secretary, the following were elected unopposed to the Executive Committee for 2012/13: Malcolm Austen, Paul Gaskell, Derek Powles and Sheila Tree. The President Emeritus then asked the newly elected committee to stand and be introduced to the meeting; he then duly declared that the elections were complete. 8. The Chairman then explained that, as a registered charity with a modest turnover, we are required to appoint an Independent Examiner for the Society’s annual accounts.

  • Serious Case Review Into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the Experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F
    Serious Case Review into Child Sexual Exploitation in Oxfordshire: from the experiences of Children A, B, C, D, E, and F Approved by the OSCB February 26th 2015 Update14.3.15 Independent Reviewer: Alan Bedford MA (Social Work), Dip.Crim FOREWORD i. What happened to the child victims of the sexual exploitation in Oxfordshire was indescribably awful, and a number of perpetrators are serving long periods of imprisonment following the investigation known as ‘Operation Bullfinch’. The child victims and their families feel very let down. Their accounts of how they perceived professional work are disturbing and chastening. There is clearly a demand to find out how such extensive abuse could have continued for so long before it was properly identified, and why there was not speedier action. There was a strong public reaction last year and this year to two Rotherham inquiries (which were not Serious Case Reviews) and to similar concerns reported elsewhere, and there have been calls in such cases for individuals to be held to account. ii. The Serious Case Review (SCR) has seen no evidence of wilful professional neglect or misconduct by organisations, but there was at times a worrying lack of curiosity and follow through, and much work should have been considerably different and better. There is little evidence that the local understanding of child sexual exploitation (CSE), or how to tackle it once identified, was significantly different from many parts of the country. iii. On the surface, many of the illustrations described in the report can seem like professional ineptitude, unconcern, or inaction. They become more understandable when put in the context of the knowledge and processes at the time, practical difficulties around evidence, and a professional mind-set which could not grasp that the victims’ ability to say ‘no’ had been totally eroded.

This thesis attempts to redress the balance by examining a number of volunteer-run museums in Dorset and the characteristics and motivations of the volunteers involved in their development. This element of the project included a survey of museum volunteers in the county and studies of a selected group of museums through interviews and through archival research in museum records. The thesis also presents a historical analysis, through a number of case histories, of the development of volunteer-run museums in English market towns and villages from 1884, demonstrating clearly how the development of these small museums reflects larger changes in the rural community from the paternalism of the late nineteenth century, through growing independence and democracy after 1918, to the counter­ urbanisation of the second half of the twentieth century. 1 Changing perceptions of rural identity are also apparent in the history of these museums.

  • Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire
    Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire By Joseph O’Connell A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Retha Warnicke, Chair Richard Burg Kent Wright ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2013 ABSTRACT “Navigation, Trade, and Consumption in Seventeenth Century Oxfordshire” investigates how the inhabitants of Oxfordshire transitioned from an agricultural to a consumer community during the Jacobean and post- Restoration eras. In agrarian England, this reconfigured landscape was most clearly embodied in the struggle over the enclosure of common land. Focusing on the yeoman’s understanding of the fiscal benefits of enclosure and land acquisition, I argue that the growth in grain markets within Oxfordshire led to a newfound prosperity, which was most clearly articulated in the yeoman’s rise as a viable and discernible luxury goods consumer. Accordingly, my project draws attention to the yeoman’s relevance and leadership in this role, which not only observes their elevation and advancement within the English class structure, but it also views the expansion of luxury consumption and the impact of the developing market economy on the English rural household. By juxtaposing probate documents, inventories, pamphlets, and diaries from the market towns of Burford, Chipping Norton, and Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, this study examines the process by which these late sixteenth and early seventeenth century communities began to embrace the consumption of luxury goods, and, most importantly, purely market-based understanding of agrarian life. i Note The year has been taken as beginning on 1 January and a double year is used (ex: 1660/61) in the text where appropriate.
