January 2008 Issue 13 Past Pupils’ Newsletter January 2008 This, our thirteenth issue of a National Newsletter, as usual, is a compilation of the Reports given by Local Associations and other officers on the National Council at our last meeting, which took place at the Salesian School, Battersea, London on 11 November 2007. It also has news about our decision to widen the effect of our Mission support to cover more than just Liberia, as we have done for the last four years; where we provided for Clean water facilities, Electricity generators and Medications to save lives from Malaria and HIV/Aids. We are now moving into Education as our Mission objective for 2007/8 in a number of African countries. Leaving the School Chapel after Mass, shared with the Battersea Old Boys Association, to attend their Memorial Service at the Ambulacrum for Battersea Old Boys and others lost in the two world wars.

Some of the crowd paying their re- spects to fallen heroes from Batter- sea Past Pupils and others. Fr. Sean was invited to open our meeting with a prayer. Patrick Morrissey, National President, thanked everyone for coming at 0900 to allow National Council members to join with the Battersea Old Salesians Association for their annual Remembrance Mass at 1100. Fr. Joe Brown, Missions Director, emphasized to the meeting what a massive impact the late Sean Devereux has and how the National Council should build on this great asset. Father Joe also provided those at the meeting with a listing of upcoming Jubi- lees for the year 2008. These are of great men who will be celebrating key events in their lives as Salesians. I am sure many of our Readers will like the opportunity to mark the Jubilee(s) of some of those listed below, who were im- portant influences in their young lives. Jubilees of Ordination 50 Fr.

Keiran Anderson Thu 08 September 1983 NATIONAL PRESIDENT’S REPORT National President wished to progress the decision of the National Mission pro- ject for 2007/8. He had previously circulated to all Local Associations a pro- posal from the Salesian Vice Province in West Africa, proposing that we sup- port scholarships for pupils in various West African countries. This proposal was agreed at the meeting and is now firmly our 2007/8 project. It was agreed to fund the Tuition/Boarding fees, for one year, for 90 students in primary and secondary schools in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, at a cost of £13,500.00. Local Associations were asked to consider sponsoring specific schoolchildren, in order to further ‘personalise’, both the Appeal this year and the feedback next year, in terms of photos and details of the academic progress achieved. National President agreed to produce a daft for an Appeal poster to be used by all Local Associations, and for promulgation on the National Federation Web- site Home page. National Football Competition - 28 April 2007 National President thanked the Battersea, Chertsey and Farnborough Associations, and the Battersea School, for entering teams. He also thanked the Battersea Old Salesians Football Club for hosting the event at the Ewell sports ground, with their customary generosity. He was glad to report that as a result of the entrance fees paid, sale of Salesian memora- bilia and raffle receipts, costs for trophies and food provided were fully covered. Greg Sudell, the new President of the Farnborough Association stated that he hoped that next year he might be able to get the Salesian Farnborough College’s first eleven to enter a team. The meeting agreed to hold another Tournament for the “Don Bosco Cup” in 2008 , when it is hoped that Thornleigh and Bootle, who will again be invited, might each be able to enter a team. European Football Tournament National President reported that we had submitted a proposal for an international tour- nament to the Council of the World Confederation of Past Pupils, to perhaps coincide with the Eurobosco Congress. Unfortunately the Spanish hosts of the Eurobosco Con- gress were unable to organsie such an event. 3 Issue 13 Past Pupils’ Newsletter January 2008 Old Salesians Football Club (Battersea) later received an invitation to play in Barcelona against the local Past Pupils Association, but this also failed to come to fruition. It is hoped that some form of European inter-change can take place in 2008, possibly in Poland, through Peter Hunter’s contacts. From the following photos, it is good to know that our National President was flying the flag, as they say, for the Salesians and Battersea: The cricket ground in Mel- bourne , Australia. A place Pat- rick has been many times no doubt, as he worked for a few years in Australia. National President, Patrick Morrissey and his brother, John, both Battersea Old Boys, in front of the statue of Dennis Lillee at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Battersea Old Boys have twice won the “Don Bosco Football Cup”, but they also have a great affection for the game of Cricket NATIONAL DELEGATE’S REPORT Father Sean Murray SDB Tel: 0151 944 1039 Father Sean was gave a brief outline of his attendance at the Pamplona, Eurobosco which he attended with Peter Hunter. He was not aware that Peter would not be able to attend the meeting, due to family difficulties. 4 Issue 13 Past Pupils’ Newsletter January 2008 NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT John Ward Tel: 01895 257623 John Ward reported that, with the vital help of Father Pat Sherlock SDB, Pro- vincial Secretary, he was maintaining the National website www.donbocsco.co.uk/pp. John is looking forward to updating the National Website Home Page, to bring it up to date, with the promotional flyer for this year’s new Mission scholarships project in West African countries in 2008, just as soon as the final version is agreed. MEMBER OF WORLD COUNCIL World Council Member: Peter Hunter: Tel: 01924 361212 Peter Hunter was unable to attend this National Council meeting. It is hoped that a report by Peter on the proceedings of the Eurobosco (European Congress of Salesian Past Pupils in Europe) in Pamplona, will be available soon. BATTERSEA ASSOCIATION President: Nicholas Potter Tel: 0208 679 0126 National Council Meeting - Sunday 11th November 2007 The period from March to October does not include any events for Battersea. We have sent out the first letter for the 2007/8 appeal and early responses are very encouraging. I will have an up to date report available for the next meeting and National Newsletter. 5 Issue 13 Past Pupils’ Newsletter January 2008 Our membership roll continues to be circa 200, but we do have a steady trickle of older Past Pupils signing up - particularly those who feel a need to get in touch with their contemporaries after a long absence. Both the internet and our Newsletter “Maroon & Gold” have proved very effective tools in making this possible, especially where distance is involved. The main topic of interest is of course the future involving the demolition of the existing school buildings at Battersea to be replaced by a state of the art new mixed sex school with a Sixth Form. It is very exciting and if all goes to plan the new school will open in 2012. The public consultation process has now been completed and the Secretary of State has agreed to publish the proposals which will be determined by Wandsworth Council in January. We should therefore be able to give an up to date report at our next AGM in early 2008. The next chap- ter in the story, of Don Bosco's original foundation in the UK, is about to unfold and will present the Battersea OSA with an opportunity to double the member- ship next chapter in the story, of Don Bosco's original foundation in the UK.. Nicholas Potter - Chairman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A very special event occurred after the National Council meeting finished. This was clearly inspired by the Battersea Teaching Staff, and a “Student Voice” meeting that had occurred in Bollington of the older students of various Sale- sian Colleges. A group of Battersea Fifth Form students requested a meet- ing with the National Council. At and subsequent to the Bollington meeting this group had developed a “Charter” which they wished to discuss with, and seek help from, the National Council of Great Britain. This group met in the School Hall with a delegation from the National Council, at which they presented their Charter and stated that they wished to share its ideas with Salesian Pupils in Europe. From this encounter the National Council delegation determined that Battersea Pupils’ purpose seemed to match the ob- jectives of the European Gex (Youngsters) movement’s objectives.

  • Annex I the Problems with Refugee Statistics
    The State of the World's Refugees 1993 Annex I Refugee Statistics The Problems With Refugee Statistics The collection of accurate statistical data on refugees and asylum-seekers is one of the most problematic issues confronting UNHCR. Precise refugee statistics are required constantly within the agency for planning, budgeting and fund-raising purposes. Governments and other organizations – the press and media, NGOs and research bodies – also make constant demands on UNHCR for facts and figures, especially when major refugee movements or repatriation operations are taking place. All too often, however, UNHCR finds it difficult to answer such queries with any real degree of accuracy. Moreover, the figures collected by UNHCR frequently diverge from those reported by journalists, voluntary agencies, host governments and donor states. These problems derive from a number of different factors. The word ‘refugee’ is itself subject to quite different interpretations. Under international law, the concept has a very specific meaning, and is used to describe people who have left their own country because they have a well-founded fear of persecution, or because their safety is threatened by events seriously disturbing public order. The figures used by UNHCR for public information and fund-raising purposes have traditionally been based on this definition. Other organizations use a different approach. Some base their refugee statistics on a more restrictive definition. The US Committee for Refugees (USCR), for example, which publishes an influential annual refugee survey, lists only those refugees “in need of protection and/or assistance”. The distinguishing characteristic of such refugees, the survey explains, is “their inability to repatriate due to continued fear of persecution in their homelands and the absence of permanent settlement opportunities in their countries of asylum or elsewhere”.

    HART LOCAL PLAN (STRATEGY AND SITES) 2032 Adopted April 2020 Accessible Version HART Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2032 Adopted APRIL 2020 Foreword Welcome to our Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2032, which has been prepared over several years, reflecting the many and varied views that have been expressed throughout its journey. We are really pleased to have adopted this Plan, to guide new development to the right places, of the right scale with high quality design and with the right supporting infrastructure, while protecting the important parts of our natural and historic environment. Hart is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the country, we want to keep it that way. Our overall vision is for Hart to become the best place to live, work and enjoy and this Plan supports the need to balance future development needs with protecting the District’s special qualities. Over the 18 year Plan period to 2032, over 7,000 new homes will be provided, many of which already have planning permission and some have been built. The creation of a new community at Hartland Village is well underway on a previously developed site and this will provide new homes, a new primary school, a neighbourhood centre and extensive open space, whilst ensuring that locally protected sites are not harmed. It is important that this Plan supports the economy, our businesses, and our town and village centres. We are fortunate in Hart to have a wide choice of job options through various small and medium sized businesses, based in one of our many economic sites, through to retail opportunities in our active and vibrant town and village centres.

  • Yateley, Darby Green & Frogmore
    Yateley, Darby Green & Frogmore Neighbourhood Plan 2020 – 2032 VERSION 1.4.2 MAY 2021 PRE SUBMISSION PLPreAN -submission version May 2021 FOREWORD This draft version of the Yateley, Darby Green and Frogmore Neighbourhood Plan represents the culmination of nearly four years work by a group of dedicated volunteers within our three small towns to pull together a plan that represents the broader community’s aspirations for our neighbourhood. Our parish is fortunate in many respects. We live in the least deprived district in the country; we often come out either top or near the top in surveys of the best places to live; there is a vibrant and active community encompassing sports and leisure clubs, churches and events such as the Gig on the Green and the May Fayre; we are surrounded by beautiful countryside with plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling and other leisure activities. At the same time, the town has been quite extensively developed over the past few decades, with the result that there are few places left for further building. In the Local Plan adopted by Hart District Council in April 2020, there are no sites allocated for development in Yateley, and in recognition of that fact, this Neighbourhood Plan does not identify any specific sites. Instead we have concentrated on the key principles and policies that we would want to see adopted when considering any future potential development of our community. We set out early on to establish our strategic objectives for our community, which are summed up in four key themes: to be Happy, Attractive, Sustainable and Inclusive.
