The Voice of the Innsworth Station Community the The Voice of the Innsworth imjinStation Community Winter 2016 Covering HQ ARRC, HQ 1 (UK) Sig Bde, DBS, Ashchurch, ARRC Sp Bn, 252 Sig Sqn COMARRC’s Introduction Welcome to the final Imjin magazine of 2016; my first as Commander of the ARRC. Sincere thanks to everyone across the Imjin community for making me, and my family, feel so welcome. It’s a great privilege to be serving here in Gloucester in this highly-respected, multinational headquarters, and also to be part of the wider Imjin community. And, it’s been great fun getting to know you. It’s been a really successful, but very busy, autumn period. I’m particularly grateful, therefore, to the ARRC families for their forbearance and for their tremendous support. In January 2017 we assume the role of NATO Land Component headquarters which will be challenging, but also very rewarding. Separately, next year marks a significant milestone as the ARRC celebrates its 25th anniversary and we also take the opportunity to reflect on our antecedent, 1st Corps, which first stood up 200 years ago. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this edition. I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

  • Welcome to the April 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the April 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead It’s all about the Aintree Grand National now. Final declarations were made this morning, and all 40 runners stood their ground. We're all set. There is usually a story behind every Grand National winner, behind every Grand National contender, but there could be no better story this year than the one that victory for Shutthefrontdoor and AP McCoy would tell. The champ, riding in his last Grand National, in what would be his last race if he happened to win it. That would be the story of stories. Of course, there are other stories lurking. Like the Pineau De Re story, bidding to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum. Or the Lord Windermere or Spring Heeled story, both trying to win for Jim Culloty the trainer, 13 years after Bindaree won for Jim Culloty the rider. Or the First Lieutenant story, Mouse Morris' horse set to be ridden by Nina Carberry. Never before has a female rider won the Grand National. Well, Katie Walsh won the Irish National on Monday, so why not? Here are five things that you might keep in mind as you are searching for the Grand National winner: No seven-year-old has won the National since Bogskar in 1940, and none has finished placed in the race since 1971. That makes it difficult for Cause Of Causes and Unioniste. Bindaree in 2002 is the last eight-year-old to win it, and he was only the third eight-year-old since Red Rum won his first in 1973.

    CTP Phase 4 Original ETROs - Formal Representations with personal data redacted Enquiry Reference Date Enquiry Detail Number 1 29/06/2018 St Pauls Road I wish to see evidence that the council has undertaken formal risk assessments with regard to the effects of displacement of traffic into surrounding streets on road and public safety. 2 29/06/2018 Hales Road Closing the Boots Corner scheme for general traffic is a very bad decision. Traffic will now spread to residential areas and the fumes from Diesel as well as Petrol will now invade residential areas to the detrimental health of all residents, especially children and older people!! The Cheltenham Borough Council has NOT listened to the residents of Cheltenham which is a disgrace and it is surprising that the County Council has agreed to execute this scheme! This will certainly have repercussions in the Ballot Box at future Elections !! Shame on both the County Council and Cheltenham Borough Council, especially Cheltenham Borough Council !!! 3 29/06/2018 Battledown Approach A terrible plan, with no thought for alternative routes. Going to create more pollution due to traffic and drive people out of town. The dying town centre will truly be dead. What a waste of money! Do any tax payers want this? 4 03/07/2018 Bishop's Cleeve Totally agree with scheme except being able to not drive through town because of existing restrictions- not sure routes are viable without causing chaos. You need to create a clear run and by stopping Clarence street you have pushed traffic to side streets.

Tuesday 16th 1.20 Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+ 2m½f SLH: Metier, Soaring Eagle and at big odds Grumpy Charlie are the pick of the British trained horses. Metier was a decent performer on the flat in Ireland and has progressed from race to race over hurdles since moving to Harry Fry. He is a strong stayer who performs well on soft ground. It is taken as fact that the course will be prepared to ride no firmer than Good to Soft on the opening day. Soaring Glory showed marked improvement when impressively winning the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. He appears to be less dependent on ground conditions than Metier and looks sure to figure. On soft ground Grumpy Charlie could run better than his odds suggest if allowed to take his chance. Despite not being totally straightforward, he is improving with racing experience. DMC: At the start of the season, it looked like Appreciate It was going to be Willie Mullins’ Ballymore Hurdle horse, and that Ferny Hollow was going to be his Supreme Novices’ Hurdle horse.
