Cycling Routes Masterplan A Summary Our overall aim is to encourage people to ditch the car, get on their bike and make a healthier choice for their commute. Cycling has many benefits, including physical and mental health benefits from getting active. It also improves the local environment with fewer cars on the road and therefore less pollution, noise and congestion. Cycling can also help to boost the local economy, with trips to shops made on bike more likely to benefit the local trader rather than the out of town retailer. Our Cycling Routes Masterplan ‘Changing Gear’ A Bicycle Strategy has synergy with a number of for Northern Ireland other strategies, including: The Department for Infrastructure’s ‘Putting People First’ The Mid vision is to develop a bicycle network and East Antrim Community Plan throughout Northern Ireland so that people travel by bike as an everyday The vision activity.

Cycling Routes Masterplan A Summary Ballymena Even though Ballymena is home to Slemish mountain, it is still relatively flat. With good potential to develop cycling routes, proposals exist to create a town-wide cycle network by upgrading and linking several existing traffic free paths. Located on the National Cycle Network Route 97 known as the Ecos Trail, cyclists can enjoy a scenic ride from Ballymena through to Glenarm. The priorities for Ballymena area centre around: • Creating a North Ballymena • Providing safe routes Cycle Loop. to schools. • Developing the Braid • Establishing safe routes Riverside Path from Galgorm to bus and train stations to Broughshane. with the benefit of secure cycle parking provision. • Realising a South Ballymena Greenway from Green Pastures in Ballee to the town centre and Ecos Nature Park. www.midandeastantrim.gov.uk Ballymena Area Map All routes shown in this masterplan are indicative and are subject to consultations and technical assessment.

Carrickfergus The historic town of Carrickfergus is fairly level on its coastal side, with potential to develop a largely traffic-free network linking through to the greenways of Newtownabbey and Belfast. As one of the oldest towns in Ireland, the centre consists of many narrow streets so cycle growth depends on creating better infrastructure for use by local people and for visitors. The priorities for the Carrickfergus area focus on: • Creating a coastal greenway • Establishing a network of traffic linking Carrickfergus to free-routes for those new to Jordanstown and joining the cycling or wanting to cycle more. existing popular cycle and • Developing safe routes to walkway (NCN93) to Belfast and train stations with the benefit further afield.

Cycling Routes Masterplan A Summary Larne Larne benefits from a rural and rugged climb on one side to a more level terrain as it edges along the spectacular Antrim Coast Road. Positioned as the gateway to Northern Ireland, and with cycling holidays more popular than ever, Larne boasts real tourism potential, particularly with the Eurovelo Route starting in Larne. Leisure and touring cyclists are already familiar with the beautiful coastal road network and improved local infrastructure will encourage more new cyclists.

I trust you all were able to manage some quality time with family during the summer months and you are now refreshed to start working to reach boys and young men for our saviour. The executive were greatly encouraged by the numbers attending the rewarding volunteer dinner in April and are busy discussing the changes you wanted to happen. A big thank you to all companies and individuals who sponsored me on my 35 mile walk from Rathmore to Newport. I am delighted to say I made it home and we raised over £10,000 leaving HQ debt free on the new complex. Serious consideration must be made within each council section to bring forward new names for the officer bearers in 2 years time. I trust you all give these post prayerful consideration. This year the Conference / Council in Edinburgh will be updated on progress of last year’s NI motion. Our President, Mr David Bevins has written to all Captains with an update. This year there is a motion to change “boys” to “young people” in Brigade regulations and my view is we should oppose this. The 2018/19 session has again a selection of events both sporting and social; I encourage officers to attend and to encourage the boys to enter the competitions.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.
