  • Present Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury, B Fowler, L
    WEDNESDAY 7 APRIL 2010 ________________ Present Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury, B Fowler, L (Chairman) Gordon of Strathblane, L Howe of Idlicote, B Inglewood, L King of Bridgwater, L Maxton, L McIntosh of Hudnall, B St John of Bletso, L ________________ Witnesses: Mr John Tate, Director of Policy and Strategy, and Mr Peter Salmon, Director of BBC North, BBC, examined. Q1 Chairman: Good morning. Thank you very much for coming in at short notice. You will notice, of course, that this Select Committee is working up to the very last possible moment before Parliament dissolves. What we really want to do is to look at the BBC Strategy Review. Obviously, we cannot do a full report on it before the Election, but it would be a pity if it slipped through unquestioned, and so we would like to explore with you some of the questions which seem to us to be involved. Just set out for me the process. The process, as I understand it, is that the BBC Executive have put forward proposals at the request of the BBC Trust. When did the BBC Trust ask for those proposals, and why? Mr Tate: The process was initiated in June of last year by the Trust requesting proposals from the Executive and it was agreed between the Chairman and the Director General that we would formulate and propose those proposals, which we have done in the form of the Strategy Review. The Charter is very clear that it is the job of the Trust to approve overall the strategy for the BBC and we are, therefore, to propose that strategy as the Executive.

They took part in a course called ‘Arts and Community’, the aim of which is to work with cultural organisations in order to bring undergraduate research to an audience outside of the university. The course focuses on a different place and project each year it runs, and in the spring of 2020 students engaged with an initiative, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, to conserve the Berwick Church murals. They sought to tell new stories about murals and the Berwick site using archival documents at the Keep (East Sussex Record Office), drafts of the murals at both Charleston and the Towner Gallery, Eastbourne, oral history interviews gathered as part of the HLF project, writing from the fields of literature, art history and geography, and on-site observations of the church and its environs (we walked from Berwick to Charleston Farmhouse via Alciston). The course was linked to the Centre for Modernist Studies research project on Sussex Modernism, and connections were made between other cultural sites in the area, both on and off the map.

  • Tales and Churches and Tales of Churches the First Leg of The
    Tales and Churches and Tales of Churches The first leg of the legendary 18-miler ended with Shetland ponies in the village of Firle. The waist-high animals were unendingly friendly in their welcome, ambling over from their grazing spots to willingly be petted. Needless to say, they were an instant hit. “Can we ride them?” I had half-jokingly asked when first told that we would be encountering these cute-tastic creatures. My question had been met with chuckling doubt as to the animals’ ability to hold us, but there is an even more compelling reason not to saddle up one of these little beasts. Shetland folklore, naturally obligated to make mention of the distinctive animals, brings us the njuggle. A folkloric waterhorse inclined to potentially malevolent pranks, the njuggle is a nuisance primarily to millers in its harmlessly playful incarnation, hiding under the mill and interfering with its operation but easily banished with a lump of burning peat. Its more sinister side resembles its Celtic analog, the kelpie. In the form of a splendid Shetland pony, the njuggle wanders about until some unwary weary traveler, perhaps lured by the ill-intent of the creature or perhaps just by unlucky circumstance, mounts its back. With this, the njuggle gallops headlong into the nearest loch, often drowning the hapless traveler who ought to have known better than to accept a ride from a Shetland pony. There were no lochs nearby, only the river Ouse. Either way, it was a less fanciful instinct that kept me off the ponies’ backs; but their deep eyes and calm acquiescence to human overtures of friendship seemed to me a perfect lure.
