  • Chairman's Message
    2011 No. 1 February Reg. Charity No.228966 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE It is with regret that I have to announce that two of our long standing volunteers have resigned. Peter Reay and Ian Farrell between them have served the Society for over twenty-five years. Peter has been editing the Devon Bird Report from 1999 and wrote a section prior to that year. His keenness to ensure accuracy with each report is a testament to him. I worked closely with Peter for six years whilst County Recorder and I know the loss of his service to the Society will be greatly missed. Ian, will be known to members in recent years as our webmaster a job which he performs with enthusiasm and dedication. I first met Ian when acting as legal advisor to the Society on the wording of its new constitution when I first noticed his commitment, business acumen and a keenness to get the job done, a style he showed throughout his service as a trustee on Council, as Chairman of the Publishing Group and right up to present as Vice Chairman. On behalf of the Society I would like to thank both Peter and Ian for their service to the Society and wish them the very best for the future. Whilst Chairman I have set myself various tasks, last year it was the completion of the Birds of Devon book and ensuring the preparation of the Devon Tetrad Atlas was on a sound footing, both thankfully were achieved. This year my task is probably more difficult in that I will attempt to find volunteers to fill vacancies on Council and other posts that are vacant.

  • 2020.05.04 Resettlement Scheme for Refugees Appendix 2 , Item 129
    APPENDIX 2 CHULMLEIGH COMMUNITY WELCOME We are a group of local residents working together to welcome a refugee family, displaced by the Syrian war, to Chulmleigh. Many of us will have seen the pictures of refugees on the move or stuck in camps and felt helpless. Their plight is back in the news and nearly nine years on from the start of the war the camps are still filling up. This is our chance to do something for one family. Known as community sponsorship, this is a home office scheme, in partnership with Devon County and District council. The family will probably come from one of the settlements or camps in countries neighbouring Syria (where there is a huge waiting list of families waiting to be resettled) and they will be fully security vetted. We have the support of the Pickwell foundation who have already helped welcome families to Georgeham and Barnstaple and will be our lead sponsor and legal entity. The family will have full refugee rights, including the right to work, attend school, access the health service, benefits and so on. From the aid budget there is some funding towards the costs of schooling and learning English. Our job as a group is to help find and equip a house suitable for a small family, probably from the private rental market, which will accept housing benefit and needs to be available for two years. To raise at least 9,000 pounds to cover the cost of interpreters and for extras like laptops or taxi fares. To make sure the various agencies such as schools and surgeries are aware that the family is coming and will welcome them.

  • Devon in the First World War, 1914-1918
    DEVON IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAR AND THE HOME FRONT: DEVON IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR, 1914-1918 By BONNIE WHITE, B.A. Hons., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctor ofPhilosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Bonnie White, October 2008 ii DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2008) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: War and the Home Front: Devon in the First World War AUTHOR: Bonnie White, B.A. Hons. (Saint Mary's University), MA. (University of New Brunswick SUPERVISOR(S): Dr. Stephen Heathom, Dr. Martin Hom NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 344 iii Abstract This investigation contributes to the existing scholarship on Britain and the First World War by examining the war's impact on the county of Devon in southwest England. More specifically, this study pays particular attention to how communities, families, and individuals responded to the pressures ofwar and to what extent social unity was achieved at the county level. By exploring the relationship between the state and its citizens, this dissertation questions the extent to which Devonians were passive and accepting of the sacrifices and hardships that the government required from them, how their experiences were informed, and to what extent class, gender, and religious differences limited public support for the war? While this dissertation argues that Devonians were generally supportive ofBritish participation in the war, that support was provisional and based on the perception of 'equality of sacrifice' - the expectation that the burdens ofwar would be shared equally throughout the county and across all segments of society.
