" 4 2 ears- I Iàt e haven't forgottorrwhy. You'll probably remember how and when you got interested in amateur radio. We do. It was in Tokyo, 1955. The amateur radio market seemed an obvious choice for a fledgling electronics company to become involved in. For a start, it was a natural expansion of the technology we were innovating at the time. Secondly, there would be some things learned from exploring this avenue that could help us in other areas of our work. Also, the challenge appealed to our technicians, who were spurred on by the thought of trying to make someone in the next country sound like someone in the next room. But above all, we got into amateur radio because we wanted to. Because we were enthusiasts. (After all, most people with even a passing interest in electronics have made a radio at some time or other.) And today, our passion remains. Whilst we've seen some manufacturers in the last 42 years turn on, tune in and drop out, we're still going. We've come up with some of our best products yet, including the formidable TS-570D. We've introduced fashion to the shack through a limited edition jacket. And we're trying every bit as hard as you to bring new enthusiasts to the hobby (take the Freedom of the Airwaves competition, for instance). After all, it's the next generation who'll allow us to continue our hobby.

SA35 0AH I&G Ecological Consulting IandGecology.com Executive Summary The owners of Pen y Bryn, Clydau, Llanfyrnach seek planning consent to add an extension to the rear and side of their property. A small stone built shed to the rear of the property and a large corrugated steel building to the side of the property will be demolished to create the space for the new extensions. Building / demolition work would be likely to affect bats or roosts should they be present. I&G were commissioned to carry out a bat survey of the buildings and site. The survey consisted of a daytime “scoping” (presence / absence) survey as well as activity surveys to ascertain usage (if any) by bats. During both the preliminary inspection as well as the activity surveys, no evidence of bat activity was found in or around the house. The house was classified as having low potential as (surprisingly for this type of building) the roof was very well sealed; the walls were well mortared and the verges of the roof were all covered in cement.

    CIVIC DIALOGUE GATHERING 2015 CIVIC DIAOGUE GATHERING 2015 Programme & Field trips CIVIC DIALOGUE Gathering : April 9-12.2015, Wales, UK in co-operation with PLANED, Pembrokeshire We are happily looking forward to our upcoming meeting on CIVIC DIALOGUE. From 9th to 12th we will meet in the region of Pembrokeshire in the South-West of Wales on the invitation of our regional partner PLANED . Being a rather small group our aim was to design a programme structure that allows everybody who wants to present his/ her experience. We will experience the region together and have the opportunity to exchange with local people. We will open the floor by looking on the European policies and concrete experiences. We will work in a "market place" of initiatives to learn from each other in a lively way and to grasp an idea what the European dimension of Civic Dialogue means in practice. We will enter the "world cafe" and develop strategies for next steps. Gathering Information International Sustainable Buffet : All participants are invited to contribute a speciality from their region for our international sustainable buffet that will be offered on Friday evening. Market of initiatives : During our "market of initiatives" we offer you the opportunity to share your project/experience with other participants in a "market place" (with tables to put posters, leaflet etc.) and also to make a brief presentation of your initiative. We ask all participants who want to present their activities during the market place to send a short summary of their presentation. We will distribute this summary among all participants.

PLANED: Natural Capital Audit West Wales Biodiversity 2008 1 APPENDIX 1: Farmer Profiles Intensive farmers (dairy) Farmer 1 Farm 1 supports 3 sons as well as parents, and therefore on a farm of 430 acres (plus 170 acres of rented land), diversification has been necessary. They own an agri-contracting business and permit shooting walks on the farm. They are milking over 150 cows, and grow arable crops on their land: 46 acres of maize and 230 acres of corn. They are currently not in any agri-environment scheme other than a Catchment Sensitive Farming project: Deep Ford Brook project. However, he says that again, this brings with it more red tape: he can now not increase stock numbers, and believes this is just another way of getting information regarding fertiliser usage: “it is just NVC through the back door”. Farmer 1 adds that “a stocking rate of 1 cow per acre has been pushed by the government over the past 40 years” and therefore, due to financial reasons, they cannot justify any management regulations placed on their productive grazing land.
