Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links
Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 47 Autumn 2017 Editor's comment Your new Convener As you will all know by now, at the Annual General Meeting on 23 June a new Convener was elected: Andy Devenport very kindly agreed to accept the poisoned chalice. There is so much to do, and so little time to do it in, and Andy has a full-time job as well as various other voluntary commitments, but there is no one who is more familiar with the Meadows and Links than he is, since he has lived here since he was a child, and it is great that he has taken over from me, who only came to Scotland from 'down south' in 2003. At the AGM we also welcomed several new Trustees, enlarging our geographical remit to include members of Community Councils at the eastern end of the Meadows, and so enabling us to be fully representative of the whole area. Park Rangers We work together with the Park Rangers to do voluntary work, and were distressed when their number was cut from three to two in the Meadows and Links. At our August work party Jimmy Forrest did sterling work with us tidying up the area around the Croquet Pavilion, which we took further at the end of September, sadly without him. Jimmy is now in the Royal Infirmary after a motorbike accident. We have sent messages to him wishing for a good recovery, but it seems that this will take many months.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

Early Golf in Scotland The modern game of golf we understand today is generally considered to be a Scottish invention. A spokesman for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, one of the oldest Scottish golf organisations, said "Stick and ball games have been around for many centuries, but golf as we know it today, played over 18 holes, clearly originated in Scotland." The word golf, or in Scots language gouf, is usually thought to be a Scots alteration of Dutch "colf" or "colve" meaning "stick, "club", "bat", itself related to the Proto-Germanic language *kulth- as found in Old Norse kolfr meaning "bell clapper", and the German Kolben meaning "mace or club".The Dutch term Kolven refers to a related sport.

Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links
Friends of the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO) SC045955 N E W S L E T T E R 46 Summer 2017 Convener’s Comment Events on the Meadows We were alarmed to discover that this year the Urban Circus (Underbelly) have managed to secure a three-year contract for a pitch on the Meadows during the Fringe lasting 33 days in all, in spite of the Council's consultations last year showing that 60% of local residents thought that the present length of events was 'too long' - this before it was actually extended to a period longer than ever before. Although this particular show seems to be of high quality, this does not alter the fact that it contains large and heavy plant that would be better on a hard-standing surface. Members may care to inspect the site, which still shows signs of wear and tear from last year. Some of the furrows are due to the underlying drainage structures, but others show the impact of large vehicles. We continue to campaign for events on the Meadows to last only 15 days, as in other Edinburgh parks, which gives the grass a chance to regrow instead of having to be re-seeded. For comparison, have a look at the south part of the 'events site', which hosted a funfair for only a fortnight, and has recovered well. Toilets Yes, it does seem absurd, doesn't it, that in this day and age we should be lobbying for decent toilets on the Meadows! You may remember a year or two ago several public toilets in the city were closed, but although the few we still have were also threatened, we managed to save them, by persistent campaigning.
