The cause of this was the growth of the pupil body from both domestic and overseas sources, the latter mainly resulting from the introduction of IB courses in the Sixth Form. Sue Abbots joined the English department, Louise Gunter Languages, Bill Hutchings became the new Head of Lower School, Ian Roberts joined PE, Suzanne Ryan History and Geography, Paul Swainson Chemistry, and Gareth Owen PE. Gareth also took on the role of Housemaster to St Patrick’s. Robin Townsend also became a permanent member of staff in Lower School. Three Gap Students came at the same time; Dinesh Makhija as the IT technician’s assistant, Maura Van Voris from Tabor Academy to help with Performing Arts, and Tao Hong, who has helped in the EAL department, kept the Library open in the evenings Claire Clewlow and taught some Chinese in Lower School. All three Claire Crampton (later Clewlow) joined the English completed their year in August 2007 and we wish them department at Ellesmere in September 2002. She quickly well for their continuing careers in education. In proved herself to be an assured and lively presence in the December 2006 our three Gap Students from the classroom, with a special aptitude for pastoral care in the Antipodes, Caitriona Cotter, Laura Morton and Sam Junior section of the College, where she was promoted to a McKelvey all departed to enter Higher Education back in senior post. the Southern Hemisphere.

Chistina Drama – especially the annual Shakespeare festival – and Westwood also entered the Common Room in January in her development of debating and public speaking where 2007, joining the Languages department to teach teams under her management achieved both regional and German. national honours. Claire decided to seek new challenges in Spring 2007 and we wish her every success for the future. At the end of the Lent term Claire Clewlow departed to She remains on site with her husband Martin and whenever take a short career break after five years here. In she is spotted around the grounds she appears to have her addition to her excellent work in the English department, hands full with the management of her two dogs. and as a Lower School tutor, Claire has made a massive SFWP contribution to the cultural life of the College as a director of plays and as the instigator and organiser of the hugely successful House Debating Competition. The high achievements of College debating teams in recent years are a fitting tribute to her efforts in this area. Claire has also helped with Lower School shooting and is renowned as an excellent shot herself. We wish her well as she takes up a new teaching post in September 2007. The Summer term was unusual in that no long-term members of staff were departing, but the end-of-year cocktail party went ahead as planned, almost. The poor weather had prevented the playing of any croquet matches and forced us inside to say cheerio to the leaving Gap Students. Even so the evening went well and we are very grateful to the Headmaster and Mrs Wignall for hosting us in their house at extremely short Olwen Oldham notice. The Summer term was also noteworthy for a After being a legal secretary for many years Olwen came to the College in November 2003.

  • Barber & Gallon, 2020
    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.
