We can give some indications on our current intentions, but anything we arrange may be subject to postponement, cancellation or change at very short notice. In the case of local lockdowns, this can be less than 24 hours. KEEPING YOU INFORMED We will provide regular updates on Society events in our Circulars, on our website News and Events pages, and by regular email newsletters every 2-3 weeks. We shall circulate digital (pdf) editions of the Circular and newsletters to all members who have provided us with an up-to- date email address (you can unsubscribe from email newsletters at any time). ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2020 Council is currently carrying out a risk assessment for our planned AGM and President’s Day on 5th December, and we are in contact with the venue (Weetwood Hall Leeds) with regard to Covid-Secure hosting arrangements. If it’s necessary to proceed with an ‘online’ AGM we will most likely de-couple it from the President’s Address, Medal Presentations and Dinner and hold those events in 2021. We will confirm our intentions in the next Circular 631, due November. Regardless of format, we will follow last year’s precedent of circulating our draft Annual Report and Accounts in advance of the AGM, and taking them as read at the event. INDOOR MEETINGS The Government’s roadmap target remains at 1st October for permitting indoor public meetings and live performances with more than 30 participants. Guidance was relaxed on 15th August to allow business meetings of up to 30 people in Covid-Secure venues. Due to the ongoing uncertainty and our reliance on availability of Covid-Secure public venues, we regret that we cannot give a firm date for resuming indoor meetings at the present time, but Council continues to keep the situation and opportunities under review. FIELD TRIPS A small task force of Council members is drawing up plans for a series of mini-field trips in the autumn, strictly following social distancing guidelines. Subject to a favourable risk assessment by wider Council we will post information and registration details of these trips on our Events webpage and notify members of up-and-coming opportunities by email. ONLINE LECTURE AND WEBINARS Our first online lecture ‘Analogous Mudstone Successions from the Yorkshire Coast and the USA’ by Professor Kevin Taylor was held on 8th July. It was a very successful event enjoyed by 78 participants on Zoom and YouTube. News of further online events will be posted on our https://yorksgeolsoc.org.uk YGS 2020 3 LATEST NEWS FROM COUNCIL: COVID-19 CONTINUES Andy Howard, General Secretary Events webpage and notified in our email newsletters. Some of our corresponding societies are also holding online lectures too, a selection of events that are freely open to YGS members will be posted on our new Community Events webpage and noted in our email newsletters. VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS In our last Circular, Mike Bowman introduced our plans for building a portfolio of Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) and we are pleased to report that these are progressing well, with several examples uploaded onto our new VFT webpage. At the time of writing these include a four- part narrated video guide to the Geology of Flamborough Head by our President Paul Hildreth, and Google Earth Guides to the Geology and Poetry of Widdop Moor and Staithes to Port Mulgrave compiled by General Secretary Andy Howard. More guides are in various stages of preparation. GEOLOGY ONLINE We have compiled a new webpage listing some of our favourite ‘rainy day’ online geological resources, including online lectures, geological videos, virtual field trips and online field guides, geology courses, online 3D geological models and even some tongue-in-cheek ‘geology’ from film and TV. Just go to our new Geology Online webpage to enjoy. YGS GEOLOGY BLOGS Covid-19 may be making it hard for us to meet up in the field, but many of you will still be enjoying fieldwork alone or in small groups. Why not share your exploits or burning science questions in a ‘Blog’ for our web pages? These can be very informal and chatty, with no need to push back the boundaries of science. Blogs can simply be sent to us in a MS word or similar word processor file, with some good quality images, and we can then upload onto our YGS Blogs web page – just go to that page for some examples. You can send any Blogs to our Web Editor at [email protected] GRANTS – FEARNSIDES AWARD Our Fearnsides Award provides grants up to £500 for conference travel, fieldwork or small earth science projects. Applications remain open until 30th September, visit our Grants webpage for information and application forms.

The month of May is of course by tradition Yorkshire Geology Month (YGM) with its wealth of activities and talks aimed at the general public as well as experienced geologists. I am pleased to learn that YGM went ahead this year despite social-distancing (candidate for word of the year?), self-isolation and lockdowns. The intrepid Mike Horne of the Hull Geological Society, and a founding member of the YGM initiative, made sure that at least one activity took place. In the spirit of the start of my article in Circular 629, he and his wife Annie visited Hull Cemetery on a field-trip-for-two and made sure that ‘the show went on’. Yesterday, Thursday 28th May, would have been my 67th day of voluntary self-isolation, leaving the house and garden only for my daily walk or cycle ride around the residential area of Brigg. However I decided to take advantage of the good weather and the government’s relaxation of rules about movement to spend an afternoon on Flamborough Head. After raiding my wife’s purse for change for use at the Humber Bridge toll and for the car park at Selwick’s Bay I set off on the 1.5 hour journey. All of the change came back with me; the bridge toll booths are unmanned (but you have to pay on-line) and charges at the lighthouse car park have been suspended. Thrilled with this latter bonus I prepared for my Selwick’s Bay investigations: hard hat, boots, hi-viz waistcoat, notebook and pencil, hammer (for scale on photographs), water bottle and sandwiches and descended the many steps down to the beach. It was not long before I had drawn in several youngsters, and one or two less-shy adults, who wanted to know what I was doing. Thankfully, they kept their recommended distance and I was able to tell them about the ‘crystal cave’ (a wave-cut notch with walls and roof lined with calcite crystals), show them a cave that it’s possible to pass through, assure them that I wasn’t working for the government and identify marine life that I could hear later had transformed from sea anemone to ‘sea enemy’. My own ‘investigations’ proved fruitful. Inspired by the pilot videos set up by Andy Howard and Mike Bowman’s article in Circular 629, I have been working to produce a virtual geology field trip around Flamborough Head and needed to revisit Selwick’s Bay to check out one or two details of stratigraphy and take some relevant photographs. All in all it turned out to be a wonderful day and I arrived home refreshed and with an overwhelming feeling of https://yorksgeolsoc.org.uk YGS 2020 5 PRESIDENT’S WORD Paul Hildreth, President Selwick’s Bay, Flamborough (Paul Hildreth) both satisfaction and freedom; it certainly provided much-appreciated variety from my 66-day ‘around Brigg’ perambulations.

    Draft 5/4/16 POOL OF SITE OPTIONS WITH POTENTIAL FOR RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE AND SUSTAINABILITY APPRAISAL CONSULTATION DOCUMENT Approved by Craven Spatial Planning Sub- Committee 4th April 2016 1 Pool of Site Options with Potential for Residential and Mixed Use Consultation Document 1. The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) Process 1.1 A SHLAA is a technical exercise to assess the amount of land that could be made available for housing development. It is part of the evidence base that will inform the local plan making process. Under the SHLAA process, Craven District Council records and assesses land and premises in Craven (outside the national park) that a landowner/developer has demonstrated is available for development. The SHLAA identifies land that may be capable of meeting development needs. Where evidence indicates that more land than is in the SHLAA may be required for new homes, the Council proactively invites more land to be put forward for consideration. 2. Site Allocations Methodology 2.1 As part of identifying sites that are suitable for housing requirements, the Council’s Planning Policy team undertook work between January to March 2016 in a series of stages, so that a pool of sites could be identified as potentially suitable for housing development from the overall list of sites put forward. A template of the Site Allocations Methodology is attached. A Sustainability Appraisal was also carried out on all of the sites put forward. This process of work is described as follows: 2.2 Stage 1: From the selection

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.

  • Ale Trail of Cross Hills Area
    An area with several pubs, served by Keighley Bus Company, includes Kildwick, Cross Hills, Sutton and Eastburn. These are villages on Dalesway bus route number 66, between Keighley and Skipton. There are seven Real Ale bars on the bus route in this area. The pubs are within walking distance of each other, but it is possible to catch the bus between them if preferred. Buses run twice an hour during the day on Monday to Saturday, hourly evenings and Sundays. The best ticket to buy is a KDay ticket, which can be bought on board Keighley Bus Company services at a cost of £4.50 or via the Transdev Go web app. These tickets can also be used on the Burnley Bus Company M4 between Colne and Keighley. Up to date information about bus times and route maps can be found at: https://www.transdevbus.co.uk/keighley/services. There is no favoured route so this article will describe a route from Kildwick to Eastburn. 1. This is a Pickles Pub Company pub, near Kildwick church. It normally sells Saltaire Blonde and Taylor’s Landlord. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays (except Bank Holiday) open at 4pm Wednesday & Thursday, 3pm Fridays and all-day Saturday & Sunday. On leaving the pub head towards the river and, after crossing the river, look for a footpath on your right and follow it as it goes next to the river and under the road bridge, so avoiding crossing this very busy road. Turn right into Station Road and look out for Naylor’s Brewery on your left.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.
