The review group comprised three council members, namely myself, Elizabeth Siberry and Nigel Clubb. As described in the Chairman’s Report, later in this volume, the draft report was considered at a full Council meeting early in 2015 and was approved with a few small additions (a copy can be found on the web-site). Subsequent to that meeting the review group produced both a job description for the Editor and a list of the qualities and skills that are necessary or desirable for the Editor to have. In addition it has recommended the creation of an Editorial Board, comprising at least four members, two of whom should be members of the Executive Council. These Board members will provide support to the Editor in whatever ways may prove most helpful. A list will also be created of people willing and able to act as referees for articles submitted to the Editor. Work in this area of activity will be completed after this volume of the Journal has gone to press and until such time as details of our search for an editor are circulated more widely, anyone interested in knowing more about the role of Editor should contact me direct. My two year stint as acting editor has made me realise how interesting and rewarding the job can be! In this issue we have already instituted a few changes in presentation. Thus the author’s name appears straight after the title of the paper, rather than at the end as formerly, and we provide a brief biographical description after the article rather than on a separate page at the beginning of the Journal. After a lapse of several years we have been able to reinstate a section dealing with book reviews. The articles in this issue are, I think, sufficiently varied in style and content to arouse the interest of the reader. In the span of historical time they range from Frank Olding’s article on an inauguration poem from (perhaps) 1100 to Graham Jones’s paper on Richard Livsey and the 20th Century politics of Brecon and Radnor. Our geographical range is considerable also, although I would like to appeal for more contributions from right across Brecknock. In this context it is very good to welcome the article by Stephen Rowson on the Belgian Refugees in Ystradgynlais. In my editorial of last year I expressed the Society’s thanks to Brynach Parri for his five years as Editor. I would like to end this editorial by paying tribute to Edward Parry, Editor of this Journal for eighteen years. In the course of our review, several people, active in the Society for many more years than me, pointed out that the establishment of Brycheiniog as a well- respected journal of local culture and history owes a very great deal to him. 85748_Brycheiniog_Vol_46:44036_Brycheiniog_2005 3/3/15 08:04 Page 6 6 Brycheiniog Pamela Redwood wrote to me ‘as you review the journal for the 21st century, I hope you will notice that the success of the 20th century has been largely due to the editorship of Edward Parry’. This is a debt of gratitude that I, on behalf of many authors of many articles, am very happy to acknowledge! JOHN GIBBS Acting Editor [email protected] or 01874 730747 85748_Brycheiniog_Vol_46:44036_Brycheiniog_2005 3/3/15 08:04 Page 7 REPORTS CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR 2014 In recent years the Chaiman’s review of the past year has become a regular feature of the Annual General meeting. It seems a natural step to move to a written version within the pages of Brycheiniog, and the idea of such a report was one of one of the recommendations in the Review of Brycheiniog that was approved by the Council of the BS&MF in January of this year (see below). Brecknock Museum and Art Gallery An account of the latest position with respect to the Museum and Art Gallery is described in the Curator’s report. Our Council member, Mervyn Bramley, represents the Society at the regular progress meetings that Powys CC holds to oversee the management of the project. There is now also a wider Stakeholder Group on which many local Societies and organisations are represented and which is also attended by councillors from Powys and from the town of Brecon. I attend this group on behalf of the BS&MF. Winter meetings We started the year with a January talk in the Guildhall Council Chamber by our President Ken Jones on the theme ‘Walter Wilkins (1741–1828) of Brecon – Member of the Governing Council of Bengal, joint founder of the Old Brecon Bank and incorruptible M.P. for Radnorshire’. Ken has made a unique contribution to knowledge through his studies of the five men from Breconshire who worked for the East India Company in the decades after 1750: Walter Wilkins being arguably the most influential. In February we went to Gliffaes Hotel (2 miles west of Crickhowell and commanding spectacular views down to the river Usk) for a talk on the history of fly-fishing in Breconshire and the borders by Roger Smith. As well as for its fishing, Gliffaes is famous for its afternoon tea and this formed an integral part of the event! The 17th Sir John Lloyd Lecture This year’s lecture was entitled ‘The Archaeology and History of Breconshire from the air’ and was delivered to a full house in Theatr Brycheiniog by Dr Toby Driver of the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales. He looked at nearly three decades of exploratory reconnaissance and aerial investigation in southern Powys, ‘showcasing’ some of the major discoveries and demonstrating how much work remains to be done; this point being well illustrated by the discovery, in the dry summer of 2013, of a previously unsuspected Roman fort complex to the east of Brecon. Also he 85748_Brycheiniog_Vol_46:44036_Brycheiniog_2005 3/3/15 08:04 Page 8 8 Brycheiniog showed how LIDAR (Airborne Laser Scanning) used by the military can be successfully utilised by archaeologists. Dr Driver ended with some dramatic pictures showing the damage caused and the archaeology revealed by the severe storms of the recent winter. The Sir John Lloyd lectures are often published in Brycheiniog but in this case Dr Driver (for the RCAHMW) will be collaborating with the BS&MF and the Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust to produce a book Breconshire from above. Immediately prior to the lecture, the Museum’s education officer Stephanie Dempsey described the participation of Brecknock primary schools in the Victor Jones Local History Competition for Year 6 pupils which is sponsored by the BS&MF. Dr Driver presented the awards. First prize went to Rosie Tustin of Cradoc School for her project ‘The Evacuee’s Journey to Brecon’ which followed the story of her grandfather’s evacuation during the Second World War, his adoption by a Welsh family and his career as an auctioneer in Brecon.

  • THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.

  • From: Sharon Hughes
    From: Sharon Hughes <[email protected]> Sent: 24 March 2020 19:39 Subject: Emergency child care for children under school age Good evening, We have been asked to circulate this information We would be grateful if the following message and link could be circulated to your parents. Many thanks Powys Childcare Team We are working to support families with their childcare needs to ensure the continuation of frontline services during the Covid-19 outbreak, and to provide care for vulnerable children. We are hoping to ensure that a limited number of our Childcare Providers remain open to provide care for these groups of children who are not yet of school age from Friday 27th March onwards. Where at all possible, children should stay at home. This cannot be over-emphasized. If your work is critical to the Covid-19 response or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and your child cannot stay at home, then your childcare will be prioritised: - Health and social care - Education and childcare - Key public services - Local and national government - Food and other necessary goods - Transport - Utilities, communication and financial services. From Friday 27th March, we are hoping to have childcare for children not of school age at the following locations: - Ystradgynlais - Brecon - Crickhowell - Llandrindod Wells - Newbridge - Llyswen - Newtown - Welshpool - Llanfyllin - Llanidloes The situation is being continually reviewed and there could be changes to provision, based on patterns of demand. Whilst we hope access to childcare will be provided to enable key workers to work during this critical period, we do need to keep the number of children in educational, childcare and play settings to the smallest number possible.

  • UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES Th from 26 April 2021
    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 26 April 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 27th March. From Monday 26th April: • Organised outdoor activities for adults can now take place with up to 30 people. • As of 24th April the six people from two households’ rule was abolished and replaced with six people from any number of households (not including children under 11 years of age or carers) can meet outdoors. • Clubhouses are permitted to serve food and beverage to customers outdoors in accordance with Welsh government COVID guidance for restaurants and bars, ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits. KEY POINTS: • Groups of up to 30 adults will be permitted to take part in outdoor organised cricket activities. • Group size limits do not apply to children under the age of 18 (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020) for activity arranged by a responsible body (e.g.
