This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Peter had only just commenced his service with the committee and was looking forward to help the Society grow. His loss is our sad loss. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish due to a reduction in the number of trustees. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. This year Charles Baumann has left the committee after many years of service when he undertook various tasks such as chairing lectures, organizing fund raising Flea Markets with me, publicising our events and other ventures as the need arose.

This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his many friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Tony has been of great help to the Society during his all too short a tenure as committee member, taking on all sorts of tasks, particularly those of a physical nature now becoming beyond the reach of some of us. The Society is in a poorer state for his passing. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish through lack of committee members. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. Recent fall outs from the committee include our hard working publicity officer, Charles Baumann, who has resigned due to family and other commitments however he has intimated that he would be available to help out on occasion subject to his availability from his other extensive interests.

  • Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt
    Greater Manchester Green Belt: Additional Assessment of Sites Outside of the Green Belt Study Background In 2016, LUC was commissioned on behalf of the ten Greater Manchester Authorities by Manchester City Council to undertake an assessment of the Green Belt within Greater Manchester. The study provided an objective, evidence-based and independent assessment of how Manchester’s Green Belt contributes to the five purposes of Green Belt, as set out in paragraph 80 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (see Box 1 below). The original assessment also examined the performance of 58 potential additional areas of land that currently lie outside the Green Belt. Box 1: The purposes of Green Belt 1. To check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas. 2. To prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another. 3. To assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment. 4. To preserve the setting and special character of historic towns. 5. To assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land. In 2018, LUC were commissioned to undertake an assessment of 32 additional areas of land that do not lie within the Manchester Green Belt, to assess how they perform against the NPPF Green Belt purposes. The additional areas were identified by the authorities of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport and Wigan. The assessment was undertaken using the same assessment methodology used for the 2016 study which is detailed in Chapter 3 of the Greater Manchester Green Belt Assessment (July 2016). This methodology is not repeated here but as per the original study it involved both a desked based assessment and field visits to all of the areas of land.

Once again my thanks are due to the members of the committee for their continued hard work during the year and the support they have given me. In the summer, sadly, Roger Ivens, our Bulletin editor, had to give up this role due to pressure of work. Roger has done a first class job over the last three years and our grateful thanks are due to him for achieving such a high standard of publication, also for his own articles which have added to our knowledge of Saddleworth’s past. Also, for health reasons Stanley Broadbent has handed the job of newsletter editor to Michael Fox. Once again sincere thanks go to Stanley for his contributions to the newsletter over many years and thanks to Michael for taking on this important job.

  • Memories of Dobcross Brass: 行ってらっしゃい
    Supporting local clubs, societies, services and facilities - Produced and distributed FREE of charge by volunteers Memories of Dobcross Brass: 行ってらっしゃい Past , Present… 2009 The Whit Friday Band contest this year will be remembered as one of the wettest ever. Although the morning was beautiful & sunny for a glorious parade to Uppermill, the rain began shortly before Diggle band started the contest off in great style. The persistent & torrential downpour didn’t stop thousands of people having a great time, though. There were 2009: Generally wet, but in Dobcross we keep smiling. plenty of smiles, whether you were Chief Superintendent Caroline Ball (bottom right) or if you had travelled 9,700 miles from Tokyo especially to play in Dobcross, like Kazuhiro Tsikimura & Koji Horita. They joined Asako Mochizuki (top left, in the middle) who now plays with Fulham Brass Band. 1983 Twenty-six years ago, Dobcross village & the Silver Band were featured in ‘THE BEAT OF BRASS’ - a documentary series presented by Roy Castle. Many readers will remember the filming & original broadcast. Now, thanks to the wonders of the internet, we can see the programme again. If you have the internet, put ‘Dobcross Roy Castle’ into and take a look. John Whitmore, who used to live in The Square (and now lives in Delph), used his technical wizardry to transfer the programme … and future onto YouTube from a mangled old video tape. Whether you are a Brass Band enthusiast or just interested in Dobcross, it makes fascinating viewing. HOG ROAST!!! BRASS ON THE GRASS Free Concert! Sunday 5th July 2009, 2pm 1983: Generally drier, but with slightly more dodgy hairdos.
