It is my pleasure to devote the first part of this report to recording the tremendous service that Peggy Visick has given to this Society. It was only on being elected Vice Chairman nearly three years ago that I realised the vast amount of work that she had been doing in a most professional manner. The Society had become part of her life, and the lobbying, correspondence and telephoning she was involved in was known only to a few. Peggy has been a member for many years and first joined the Executive Committee in 1952. She was elected Vice Chairman in 1969 and in 1972 succeeded Dr Coombs as Chairman. In her letter of resignation she says that it was her ambition to see the Society celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1981 - she has more than exceeded her goal. Her reminiscences of watching birds on the Scillies with the late Hilda Quick are most amusing. This was, of course, in the days before the Islands had achieved the international status that they now enjoy in birding circles. Peggy will be greatly missed as Chairman, but I am sure that we will enjoy the benefits of her wisdom, knowledge, enthusiasm and charming company for many years to come. In recognition of her outstanding services to the Society Peggy was unanimously elected an Honorary Member of the Society at the Annual General Meeting 1988. It now gives me great pleasure to record that Roy Phillips has been elected Vice Chairman. Roy has been a prominent voice on the Cornish birding scene for many years and has held a number of offices, including Recorder, Editor and most recently Assistant Conservation Officer. He has led learned bodies of ornithologists to the Middle East and elsewhere and has recently blossomed into prominence by becoming an award winning author. As I reported at the A.G.M. the Society is in good heart. We have slightly more members than we had last year and, as the Balance Sheet shows, we are financially sound. However, as the Treasurer Mr Alan Reynolds reminded members, although we ended the year with money in hand, if two proposed hides are provided, there would be no surplus next year. Subscriptions have not been increased for five years and individual membership at £5 must surely represent one of the best deals available to birdwatchers anywhere in the country. From time to time comment is made as to what members get for their money. They get two nationally acclaimed bird reports, two newsletters, two General Meetings, a number of indoor meetings and a series of field days organised by David Thomas with the cooperation of many experienced members throughout the county. These make the Society an important body of which to be a member. In recent times, special meetings have been held by the Executive Committee with regard to Society policy, and as we approach our Diamond Jubilee in 1991, it is reassuring that we are considering where we are going and what we are doing to maintain the aims and objectives set out so long ago. During the year we have had a site meeting and a field meeting at the Walmsley 3 Sanctuary. The work carried out by S.W.W. is noticeable and there has been a definite improvement in the volume of standing water on the Sanctuary in winter. We are awaiting planning permission for a hide overlooking the area. A further hide is planned near the Golden Lion at Stithians Reservoir and this will augment the two hides already in use in the area. The Management Plans requested by S.W.W. have been formulated in committee and forwarded for approval. We are conscious of the need for vigilance regarding the preservation of habitat within the county and we have been represented at meetings held in respect of the change of use of Copperhouse Pool at Hayle and shooting on the Camel Estuary. Despite the fact that the Society took a responsible attitude in the latter discussions, we have been told by the landowner that we have to move the very successful Tregunna hide from his land. Every effort has been made to ensure that the hide remained but no response has been received to our letters and representations. This is particularly disappointing but we hope to erect on another site on the Camel Trail. In preparing this report at very short notice, it will be inevitable that I have omitted to thank some of those who have worked hard to make the Society run smoothly. However I must make particular mention of our Secretary, Andy Pay, our prudent Treasurer Alan Reynolds and our Newsletter Editor Francis Couch. Finally, and most importantly to Stan Christophers and Mike Rogers, for their work as Recorders and for preparing their impressive Bird Reports for Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly respectively.

  • SOUTH WEST Newquay Beach Newquay, Facing the Atlantic Ocean
    SOUTH WEST Newquay Beach Newquay, facing the Atlantic Ocean on the North Cornwall Coast, is the largest resort in Cornwall. There are many different beaches to choose from including: Towan Beach, Fistral Beach, Lusty Glaze, Holywell Bay and Crantock. Reachable by a stiff walk from the village of West Pentire, is Porth Joke, also known as Polly Joke, a delightful suntrap of a beach, surrounded by low cliffs, some with sea caves, unspoilt and popular with families. A stream runs down the valley, and open fields and low dunes lead right onto the head of the beach. The beach is popular with body boarders. Often cattle from the nearby Kelseys, an ancient area of springy turfed grassland, rich in wildflowers, can be found drinking from the stream. Beyond the headland is Holywell Bay arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, backed by sand dunes framed by the Gull Rocks off shore. Reachable by a 15 minute walk from the Car Park. It is a nice walk west along the Coast to Penhale Point, with superb views across Perran Bay, with Perranporth in the middle distance.

Findings in the UK South West Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Plan Area show that different MPAs yield high value estimates and that activities are grouped in certain areas, with the Severn Estuary and surrounding Site(s) of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) attracting the most recreational anglers, despite having lower water quality. This can be explained by increased nutrient levels, which enhance biological activity and yet do not cause oxygen depletion. The yearly value of the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration and storage in the area is estimated between £16 and £62 thousand. Proximity to large urban areas and shallow waters appear to be the most appealing factors for anglers, while proximity with France can be associated with the high fishing effort in the southwest of the study area. We show that the use of a tool integrating a willingness-to-pay function with high spatial resolution layers and associated monetary values can be used for short-term marine spatial planning and management.

    B U L L E T I N Making sport and recreation a part of everyday life July 2010 . Issue 25 Coalition government announces sporting intentions I wrote last time about my optimism for the football World Cup and the Go to… potential of a British winner at Wimbledon. In the intervening time the coalition government has announced its austerity budget, including a number of cuts Coalition Government policies which will directly impact on sport and physical activity. On the face of it, Sports Awards optimism should be the farthest from our minds just now. However, there have also been a number of announcements beginning to set out the coalition 5 Hour Offer Survey stance on sport, which includes a desire to create a genuine and lasting Inspire Mark sporting legacy, with a focus on facilities and community level sport. An Playground to Podium additional £50 million is estimated to be directed to sport by 2012 as a result of lottery reform, and there will be an annual Olympic style school event with Club Support Programme increased competitive sport both within and between schools. Get Active Cornwall While we lament the lack of a national champion to cheer from either of the Connecting Cornwall: 2030 summer’s top sporting events, the potential for recent announcements to BCS Championships reinvigorate grass roots sport at a school / community level and the proximity St Austell Swim Fest of 2012, is reason to believe that sport and physical activity at a local level remains important. We should not forget that over the past three years Sports volunteering funding participation in sport has been steadily increasing in Cornwall.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

Mr. Tregellas is an accomplished antiquary and scholar, and writes with love and complete knowledge of his subject.
