Area News South Yorkshire and North-East Derbyshire Area Area News South Yorkshire and North-East Derbyshire Area Winter 2009/10 Annual Report and AGM Annual General Meeting This year the AGM will be hosted by Barnsley and Penistone Group and will be held on Saturday January 30th 2010 at 2pm at the Dorothy Hyman Sports Centre, Snydale Road, Cudworth, Barnsley, S72 8LH. Cudworth is on the A628 between Barnsley and Pontefract. Going north from Barnsley, Snydale Road is at the far end of Cudworth village on the right hand side. There will be two speakers, Pete Wall from the Old Moor Nature Reserve, and Andrew Bibby, our link person on the national Board of Trustees. Most existing officers are willing to stand for re-election, but Basil Merry plans to step down as Membership Secretary, and Paul Clarke as IT Officer. Anyone who would like to get an insight into the work of the Area through these jobs or in any other way should contact our Chair, Lee Farmery at [email protected] or ring him on 07789 077575. We will also be electing the Area’s delegates to the national General Council. This is an important part of how the Ramblers works as a democratic organisation. We will vote on new Standing Orders recommended by the Area Council. Anyone wanting a copy should contact Cath MacKay, on 0114 232 3494. There will be a walk of about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, including time to look round the ruins of Monk Bretton Priory. It will be led by Anne Parton, and will start from the Sports Centre at 10.30. It will return to the centre in time to eat lunch before the AGM. Chair’s Report, by Lee Farmery Over the past year I’ve been busy finding my feet within the Area Council and gaining an understanding how things works by attending various group meetings and AGMs and talking to individuals. Obviously it has been a year of turmoil for the Ramblers with a lot of dissatisfaction among members, so there has been a lot to listen to! The Ramblers Trustees have been working hard to put things right and to ensure better communications. Andrew Bibby, one of the Trustees, has been in close contact with the Area and provided opportunities for me to pass on your concerns to the Board of Trustees, where they have been considered and acted upon. At a recent meeting we were pleased to welcome Andrew, who emphasised that the Ramblers is grass routes upwards, not the other way around. It is you who has a say in how the Ramblers is run. The suggestion of a lack of democracy within the Ramblers is entirely unfounded - all it takes is for an understanding of how it works (it is all available on the website) and to get involved. At the last General Council Neill Schofield and I represented the SYNED Area to steer the national Ramblers and voted to give the Trustees some direction. The Area (which has a majority of Group representatives) decided beforehand which way we would vote on particular issues. If you want to have your say make sure you attend your Group’s or the Area AGM. The Ramblers is improving and hopes to keep the finances stabilised over the coming year. (Other charities have also had difficult years). We still see a strong membership within our Area. This is aided by all of the Groups making valuable contributions by their activities, as well as the expanding younger generation of groups: Chesterfield Young Ramblers Group and Sheffield 20s and 30s and the Sheffield 40s. 2010 will see the Ramblers hit 75 years. The Area will focus on co-ordinating events to mark the event and continuing to improve communications between groups. It is an opportunity to create a more positive attitude about who we are and what we can achieve, and put the problems of the last year behind us. A smile can work wonders. If you would like to know more about getting involved in the Area please contact us at [email protected] Treasurer’s Report for the year ending 30th September 2009 I am pleased to report the accounts of the SYNED Area for the year ending 30th September 2009. During the year the Area received £6,625 from Central Office and distributed £10,657 to 8 of the 10 Groups in the Area, using £4,032 of our reserves. Funds of £304 to the Ward Walk, £4,282 for the Fox House leaflets and £5,588 to the Holmesfield Ward Walk were provided from the GHB Ward legacy. £490 was provided to the Sheffield Group for their Walking out leaflets from the Miss Ivy Cowen legacy. We spent £48 on footpaths and £13 on Access and £10,724 on Promoting Walking supporting the Ramblers charitable objectives. The Groups have asked the Area for a total of £5,684 for the coming year in line with the Ramblers budget reduction guidelines. We will be contributing £2,134 from our own funds towards our budget of £7,134 in line with the Ramblers Reserve policy, and will therefore be asking HO for £5,000. Our thanks are due to our independent examiner, Mr Eric Copley. Gavin Johns, Area Treasurer Report from the Area Access Officer We can now confirm that the Eastern Moors Estate within the Peak District National Park will be under a partnership management of the National Trust and the RSPB. The moors involved are Birchen Edge, Leash Fen, Ramsley Moor, Big Moor and Totley Moor. The lease is for 15 years starting 1st April 2010. The partnership will seek to engage all stakeholders in the future management of the Estate. As regular users of these moors the Ramblers will be seeking to be represented in any consultation and as major stakeholders it is essential that this consultation is made available to us. This area is adjacent to both Chesterfield and Sheffield groups, but is also very important to all groups in the area. Under the CROW Act 2000 a review of maps pertaining to access land has to be carried out by 2014. This task is being undertaken by Natural England, and the Ramblers central office is liaising closely with them to make sure only additions are made to the access land and not any reductions in access area. We have in the last few years, since the introduction of the CROW Act, made sure the annual group programmes have included walks on new access land. It is essential that these walks continue in the coming years, to show that the access to these moors is being used by the Ramblers and that we need them. We are continuing to press the Peak District National Park to put pressure on the landowner and tenant farmer to give better access to Rod Moor. This access has been an ongoing problem and negotiations are very slow. So if you or your group have the opportunity to walk on this moor please do so. Rod Moor is west of Stannington near Load Brook and High Riggs Road. Grid ref. SK 268 882. Les Seaman, Area Access Officer Footpaths In Doncaster, I offered assistance to Auckley Parish Council. They had claimed a footpath to be added to the Definitive Map. Although Doncaster Council (DMBC) made the Order, they adopted a neutral stance at the subsequent public inquiry. I offered the Parish Council advice and agreed to be their advocate in presenting the case in favour of confirmation. I am pleased to report that the inspector has confirmed the Order, and the footpath has been safeguarded in perpetuity. In a similar case in Thorne where the public inquiry will be held next year, I am also representing the claimant for a footpath where DMBC are remaining neutral. In Rotherham, I support a very active Group Footpath Committee. The local authority now ask us to proof-read all draft Public Path & Definitive Map Orders in view of the large number of errors appearing in Orders which rendered them difficult or impossible to confirm. We have also caused the authority to adopt new procedures in relation to consultations on proposed gating orders. The Area continues to participate in the joint RA Footpath Committee for Derbyshire. This year has seen slow progress by the County Council & National Park in identifying 8 priority routes where off-road vehicle use means remedial measures are needed. Management Plans for each route have been drawn up & await funds for implementation. John Harker, Footpaths Secretary (Note: this report is additional to the reports included in the printed copies of Area News.) Report from the Membership Secretary This financial year has seen a small increase in overall membership in the Area from 2990 to 3016. Overall membership includes an increasing number of members from the 3 ‘younger age range groups’ where membership has increased from 346 to 404. Other groups have seen small reductions in numbers with Rotherham and Barnsley and Penistone bucking the trend. All groups increasing their membership are to be congratulated, as this has been achieved against a backdrop of a second year of major problems with the Head Office membership system. Whilst improvements of late and a reduction in administration backlogs have been noted a full resolution is some way off. A question mark must remain over the accuracy and completeness of the membership figures until this is achieved. Some improvements could be made by the groups themselves as there are still some in the Area without a web site or an email contact address. The latter would bring closer the direct transmission of membership reports with cost and time savings.

    Thesis, or Dissertation, for a Degree. The Doctor of Dolefulness Founder and Creator of The Lyke Wake Walk 1955 Chief Dirger Bill Cowley Much has been written about the creation of the LWW but I believe little has been written on the life and times i.e. a biography to one of Teesside's most famous sons. I was delighted but not surprised to find that this was a shared view by the authors of www.scouting milestone (Mike Ryalls and Colin Walker) Born: Middlesbrough 1915 (birth date unknown) Much of his childhood years were spent tramping the high moors, sleeping often in the heather or at a friendly farm. This was a prelude to the walking and climbing that was to dominate his adult life. From early school days he also showed a keen interest in the Boy Scouts. Bill's education started at Middlesbrough High from where he won a place to Jesus College Cambridge, and then on to the School of Oriental Studies. University years would be circa 1935 – 1937. During these years Bill was the founder of the Cambridge University Yorkshire Society. The girl who was the then secretary of the CUYC was to play an important but tragic part in Bills life. Her name was Mary Dyson. In 1936 a team from the CUYC walked part of what was to become the Cleveland Way. In 1938 Bill spent several months in France hiking around the countryside and using Paris as a base. Shortly after that he applied for and was accepted into the Civil Service, possibly the foreign division.

Purpose of the Report 1.1 To inform Members of the responses to the National Park Management Plan review. 1.2 To propose an initial approach to how each is dealt with to be incorporated in the Plan review if required. 2. Introduction 2.1 The National Park Management Plan for the North York Moors was completely reviewed in 2011 and a new Plan – “A Wider View” was adopted by the Authority in November 2012. This can be viewed on our website at: http://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/shared-publications/Final-Plan-26.11.12.pdf 2.2 The Management Plan sets out the vision and objectives for the future management of the National Park and how National Park purposes will be delivered over the Plan period. 2.3 Although the Plan covers a 15 year period, National Park Management Plans have to be ‘reviewed’ on a five yearly basis to take account of any changes in circumstances, pressures or opportunities facing the National Park. The Management Plan is approaching its fifth year next year in 2017. 2.4 A light touch refresh was agreed by Members at the National Park Authority Meeting in March 2016, subject to comments from stakeholders. 2.5 The Authority has carried out its consultation with key stakeholders which ran from 14 June to 19 August 2016. A list of those consulted can be found at Appendix 1. In conjunction, the Authority has also undertaken the Residents’ Survey and Visitor Survey which asked what issues people felt are affecting the National Park and what should priorities be looking forward, which will feed into the review process.
