    Minutes of Tweedsmuir Community Council, at Tweedsmuir Village Hall, on Thursday, December 3 (7.30pm) Present: Gavin Parker (chairman), Paul Greaves (secretary), Brian Bushell (treasurer), councillor Sarah Northcott, councillor Lesley Mason , and 3 members of the public. The minutes of the council’s meeting on November 6 were approved 01.12 APOLOGIES SBC councillor Catriona Bhatia, community councillor Kaitlyn Roper, Police representative Nicola Craig 02.12 MATTERS ARISING Broughton school: Councillor Lesley Mason reported that she had attended the recent parent ​ council meeting at the school when it was revealed that special learning teachers were not being replaced by the Scottish Borders Council because the council’s education budget was under review. Two such teachers have left Broughton school recently, and, therefore, in the short term at least, there was no prospect of them being replaced. The parent council decided to raise the issue with the area’s local councillors, and asked Tweedsmuir Community Council to do the same. 03.12 GRITTING/SNOW CLEARING The secretary reported that Mr David Richardson, assets manager of Scottish Borders Council, had replied to the TCC’s concerns that village roads would not be gritted or cleared of snow this winter. In the email, Mr Richardson agreed to meet council representatives to discuss the matter, putting forward three possible dates. The secretary agreed to finalise details. 04.12 CONSTITUTION The amendments to the constitution, as outlined by the treasurer, were agreed by councillors and ratified by three members of the public present, Andrew Mason, Christine Parker and Duncan Davidson. A copy of the constitution would now be sent to SBC and also circulated to each community councillor.

    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’S Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City

    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827.

    Minutes of Tweedsmuir Community Council, at Tweedsmuir Village Hall, on Thursday, November 5 (7.30pm) Present: Gavin Parker (chairman), Paul Greaves (secretary), Brian Bushell (treasurer), councillors Lesley Mason, Sarah Northcott and Kaitlyn Roper, Keith Cockburn, Scottish Borders Councillor, and 7 members of the public. The minutes of the council’s meeting on October 8 were approved 01.11 APOLOGIES Police representative Nicola Craig 02.11 MATTERS ARISING Broughton School: The secretary reported that the council had written to the school’s parent ​ association, offering its support in their attempts to pressure the SBC to replace two teachers who had left. Ms Sue Hope, of the association, had written back, thanking the TCC for its support, and the secretary read out Ms Hope’s letter. Councillor Lesley Mason added that she would be attending the next association meeting and would report back on progress to the TCC. Broadband: Regarding the Scottish Government’s recent assertion ­ via an email from ​ broadband co­ordinator Duncan Nisbet ­ that Tweedsmuir would not, in all probability, be part of the BT roll­out of superfast broadband, SBC councillor Catriona Bhatia had been in touch with the secretary to say additional funds had now been released for broadband. Ms Bhatia had emailed the secretary to inform the TCC that: “The allocation of these new funds is being discussed at CoSLA. At the last meeting of CoSLA I attended, the case for more investment in rural areas was made strongly by myself and the leader of the Highland Council. The options through Community Broadband are not ideal and put rural areas at a significant disadvantage.” She had since passed on Mr Nisbet’s email to SBC councillors David Parker and Michael Cook, who are SBC’s representatives on the leaders’ group at CoSLA.

It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification and does not remove the need to apply for consent for operations requiring consent. We welcome your views on this statement. A view up Drumelzier Burn, Tweedsmuir Hills Description of the site Tweedsmuir Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), located approximately 10km south- east of Biggar, is a high, rounded range of hills formed from sedimentary rocks from the Silurian period. Rising to 840m at Broad Law, they encompass the largest area of montane plateau in South Scotland, and the highest summits of the Scottish Borders. The ridge between Pykestone Hill (737m) in the north and Cairn Law (717m) in the south is the watershed for the headwaters of the Tweed River, Yarrow and Megget Waters and their numerous tributaries, running in steep- sided valleys, dissect the plateau. The site experiences low temperatures, high exposure and late snow lie and this is reflected in the plant and animal communities that occur here, including a nationally important example of an upland habitat assemblage, a nationally important assemblage of breeding birds, a diverse assemblage of bryophytes and a vascular plant assemblage comprising a number of nationally scarce arctic-alpine species.

    TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London

    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
