Dihar esow / Apologies R Lyon 2. Kovnotyansow / Minutes The minutes of the meeting on Friday 18 th July 2014 were read and agreed. 3. Materow ow sordya / Matters arising NONE 4. Arwodhow yn stret / Street signs Wych Hazel Way (Newquay) = Hyns Koll Hebleth [Recognising that the ‘Wych’ comes from the meaning ‘pliant/flexible’.] There was a general consensus at the meeting to translate this as a ‘pliable’; other suggestions included <glas> and <gwydhyn>, but these were ruled out as they may be construed as a misspelling. Avallen Close (Mylor Bridge) = Kew Avalen [Map form comes from a Unified Cornish spelling] Kennedy Close (Illogan) = Kew Kennedy [Believed to come from an English surname] Dolphin Street (Port Isaac) = Stret Morhogh <Pyffer> was also suggested, but was noted as coming from dialect. <Morhogh> is a generic name for dolphin/porpoise. K George proposed, L Jenkin seconded. Beach Road (Newquay) = Fordh an Treth [Road to the beach, therefore def. art. included.] Rally Close (Lanreath) = Kew Ralli Sandra Way (Bodmin) = Hyns Sandra Trerice Drive (Newquay) = Rosva Trerys 5. Henwyn leow / Place names Worcester (England) = Karwigoran It was decided not to merely Cornisize the Welsh form of this exonym. The name derives from the Wigoran tribe (Uuigorna 716-43). The panel settled on the form which derives from these origins and is utilised by R Lyon in his rugby tweets. a. Mappa Kernow ( 32 henwyn tylleryow gesys ) Milcombe (aka Millcombe) (Pelynt) (ST) = Kommelin It New Polzeath (St Minver) = Trebenntir K George proposed, L Jenkin seconded Rosedinnick (St Columb Major) = Rossydynek This translation is comprised the historical forms <Rossidyneke> (1315) and <Russydenek> (1344). Three Hammers (Tresmeer) = Tri Morthol Tilland (Quethiock) = Tirgonadow It was decided that the meaning of Tilland was “tillable land”. Trebartha (North Hill) = Treberthan Believed to come from <tre> (farm/homestead) + <perth> (bushes/thickets) + <an> (place-name suffix). Trebullett (Lezant) = Trebalvet Suggested use of the 1383/1397 form <Trebalvet> with the penultimate vowel mirroring the current map form. There was a possibility that this is a Norman French name (‘Balvot’ was identified as a surname during the meeting), although there was no evidence to support this correlation. Trecrogo (South Petherwin) = Trenkrugow There were discussions around whether or not to mutate as no historical forms supported it. Tregunnon (Altarnun) = Gonan Believed to come from <goon> (downland) + <an> (PN suffix). Tregurrian (Mawgan in Pydar) = Tregoryen Tregurrian Cove (Mawgan in Pydar) = Porth Tregoryen May originate from the personal name ‘Koryen’. Trehunist (Quethiock) = Trenanast Last element is unknown. <Trehunest> (1600) may mean ‘eastern Trehun’. There was a suggestion that Trehunsey (2km to the N.W.) appears to be <tre> + <hun> + <ti>, meaning ‘settlement of the dormitory’. Trekenner (Laneast) = Tregynener 2 The second element is a personal name. Trekenner (Lezant) = Tregynner The second element is a personal name. 7. Negys aral / Any Other Business a. Golowji po Golowti? The panel agreed that <golowji> would be the appropriate spelling for ‘lighthouse’. b. Lethes po West A difference was noted between directional and positional terminology with compass directions. Street signage would be more likely to utilise the positional; this would be identified by email discussion for future cases. 8.

  • September 2014
    September 2014 Dear Parent/Carer, Having now had two complete weeks of the school year, 2014-15, for all students at saltash.net, I am very pleased to be able to write to you and report that we have had an extremely positive start to the term. Not only have we welcomed all of our new Year 7 students to our school, we have also been pleased to receive 14 new students into Years 8, 9 and 10, as well as students from our own and other schools who have joined our excellent Sixth Form learning community, taking the total number of post 16 students to 214. If you are a new parent or carer to our school, then we say a special word of welcome to you. There will be many opportunities throughout the school year for you to get to know the staff and students at our school and we hope you will soon feel an established part of our whole school community. One of the first things I need to share with you in this newsletter is to do with school communication and the changes which have taken place to upgrade our ICT facilities. Our move to ‘Office 365’ and ‘The Cloud’ has meant a change to all staff email addresses. They now all follow the same pattern, which is a member of staff’s first name initial, followed by their surname and then @saltashcloud.net—so my address is [email protected] and my deputies are [email protected] (Mr Dan Buckley), [email protected] (Mrs Linda Griffin), and [email protected] (Mr Nick Scantlebury).

  • Interim Newsletter – May
    24th May 2016 Dear Parents/Carers, As we approach the half term break, I am pleased to be able to write to you to bring you up to date with all that has been happening at saltash.net since the start of the summer term. Exam season is, of course, well and truly upon us now, with years 10, 11 and 12 all taking some of their GCSE and A Level examinations before half term and Year 13 joining them from the start of June onwards. Although we hold ‘official last day’ events for both Years 11 and 13, all students sitting exams are still able to participate in and make the most of our extensive revision programme which will be running throughout the duration of the exams as well as over the half term holiday. We have all been so impressed with how our young people have approached their exams this summer, especially those students who have experienced major challenges and difficulties in their home or personal lives over the past year. We are full of admiration for them and also pleased that our school has such a strong pastoral support network in place to help guide and intervene when necessary. We wish all students sitting exams this year all the very best. As we regularly say to our students, academic success is very important but so too is how they are developing as well rounded individuals who appreciate and demonstrate the values at the heart of our school: Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Honesty, Fairness and Perseverance. At the recent May Fair in Saltash, a number of members of our local community (including those who live close to our school) came up to tell me how impressed they were with the behaviour and conduct of our students – not just what they read about them in the local papers, but also when they see them around Saltash.

  • 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. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • Laundry Life+Times Last.Pages
    The Life and Times of the Laundrys' * The Name Laundry has always seemed such a down to earth and functional name. I had thought that it denoted a family trade, much in the same way that Smith does, though there were family rumours that it was Spanish or French, and spoken with an accent it does sound a bit more romantic. Researching in the 'Partonymica Cornu-Britannica' of 1870 (the origin of Cornish names) it appears that someone has already given the name much thought. "Landrey, Landry. From Lan- dre, (Cornish) the church dwelling: lan-drea, the principal church; or Lan-dreath, -dreathe, the church on the sand or sandy shore. Hence perhaps Landary and Laundry." Another book on Cornish names has the name meaning 'Gods enclosure of oak trees'. A Canadian researcher, Marcel Landry (http://www.mwlandry.ca/angleterre.htm) has it that the name derives from old French 'Landri' through old German 'Landric(us)' meaning 'land ruler', the name brought over by a Breton Frenchman Stephan Landry who landed in Cornwall in 1561, he married locally and his descendants lived in the East Cornwall region though most seem to be called Landry. This version is supported by Ancestry.com who state that in middle English it was ‘Lavendrie’ from the old French Landri, from Germanic meaning ‘land’ and ‘power’. However there is nothing to say that it cannot be both that is an existing name from Cornish and derived from an imported French name. It has helped that Laundry is such an unusual name. During the mid 1800s most Laundrys, and there were only a hand full, lived in Cornwall with a few in Devon.

Pentire Haven is a very narrow inlet of sand and rock with a stream crossing the beach and again joins up with the whole bay at low water; there is little or no beach at high water. There is safety equipment at Pentireglaze Haven but nothing at Pentire Haven. Lifeguards are on duty at Polzeath (see details) which serve both beaches when the tide is out but not when the inlets are cut off from the rest of the bay. Swimming and bathing can be undertaken at low water but only at the designated area because of rip currents and undertow.
