He was born in 1930 in Cardiff, his father being a Pilot in the Bristol Channel, who represented the Pilots on the Cardiff Pilotage Authority, was a senior Mason and was active in the Baptist Church. Brian attended Marlborough Road School, where one of his masters was George Thomas, later Speaker of the House of Commons, and then Cardiff High School. He was brought up monolingual in English and though he learnt Welsh in later life, especially while at Lampeter, no writings in Welsh survive in the archive. He served his National Service with the Welch Regiment, based in Brecon and it was in Brecon Cathedral that his conversion to Anglicanism from his Baptist upbringing, begun as he accompanied his future wife to Church in Wales services, was completed. Anglicanism remained a constant part of his life: he became a Lay Reader when in Reading, was a passionate advocate of the Book of Common Prayer and a fierce critic of Series Three and the New English Bible, as epitomised in the book he edited in 1990, Ritual Murder .

  • College Transport Policy 2019-2020 (Coleg Sir Gâr Campuses) Ammanford , Gelli Aur, Graig , Jobs Well, Pibwrlwyd
    College Transport Policy 2019-2020 (Coleg Sir Gâr Campuses) Ammanford , Gelli Aur, Graig , Jobs Well, Pibwrlwyd Approved: May 2019 Published: August 2019 Updated: Annually 1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1.1 The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the College provides a service for student transport. 1.2 Coleg Sir Gâr works in conjunction with Carmarthenshire County Council to provide a student transport service. 1.3 Students may be conveyed to the College by contracted vehicles, including coaches, minibuses, taxis and public service vehicles. Where contract or public service vehicles are used it is not always possible to arrange the routes of vehicles to pass close to the homes of all students. Students may therefore be required to make their own arrangements to get to and from the nearest ‘pick up’ point of the vehicle on the determined route. 1.4 Students are also advised to read the guidelines on the Financial Contingency Fund as some assistance may be offered to students who are not eligible for transport, but they may be eligible to claim for assistance towards meeting their transport costs. Assistance is assessed upon individual circumstances. Application forms and advice can be obtained from the Student Support and Liaison Officers on each campus. 2 EQUALITIES IMPACT ASSESSMENT Part 1 – Initial Screening Part 2 – Full impact assessment 3 ELIGIBILITY 3.1 Students will qualify for travel arrangements if they meet ALL of the following criteria: • Further education students studying a full time course at Coleg Sir Gâr. • Further education students living over 3 miles walking distance from the Campus they are attending.
