Cover – Thanks again to Ernie for the cover - The 'Outwoods' Start Team had been promised use of motor unit plus trailer by the Forestry Management Team but on the day it had been 'beached'on a large tree stump and was unavailable so it was suggested by one of the Start team that they needed to borrow, hire, or even purchase a 'Club Trolley' to move equipment around - hence the cover. ----0000---- Page 2 EMEWS Contents – EMEWS 266 East Midlands Committee Report – 18th January 2018 Meeting 4 East Midlands Junior Squad Report – Anthony Squire 5 East Midlands Champs 2017 7 East Midlands Urban League 2017 – Final Standings 8 East Midlands Urban League 2018 11 East Midlands League 2018 13 Fixtures 15 For expert advice, competitive prices and high performance clothing, visit http://www.ultrasport.co.uk Best Shoes Best Compasses Best Clothing Best Equipment VJ Irock - £100 Moscow 11C + £27 Ultrasport OTops From £30 SI Card - £1.50 VJ Falcon - £100 Moscow 11T+ £27 Aries Knee Pants - £24 Whistle - £0.50 VJ Integrator M/L- £100 Moscow 2C $ £38 Aries Trousers - £22 Coded Punches - £32 VJ Supra - £95 Moscow 3C $ £38 Aries Pro Gaiters - £24 Control Flag 30x30 - £4.40 VJ Integrator High- £110 Moscow 3T $ £38 VJ Protech Gaiters - £25 Training Flag 15x15 - £3.75 Inov8 Oroc 280 £90 Moscow 9-11-2 £38 Vapro Gaiters - £24 H/Grade Sports Tape 3.8x13.7 - £3.50 Inov8 Mudclaw300 - £90 Silva Race 360 Jet £65 M/L Capri Tights - £20 H/Grade Sports Tape 5cmx13.7m - 4.50 Inov8 Mudclaw 265 - £90 Silva Race S Jet £65 M/L Tights - £24 Zinc Oxide SportsTape 2.5cmx10m - 2.00 Inov8 X-Talon 212 - £90 Siva 5 Jet $ £60 Trail Jackets - £30 Zinc Oxide Sports Tape Mens 3.8cmx10m - £3.00 Inov8 X Talon 212 - £90 Silva Nor 360 L/H £36 Gloves - From £8 Zinc Oxide Sports Tape Ladies 5cmx10m - £3.50 #Metal Stud *Non Metal Silva Nor Spectra L/H £36 RonHill Tracksters - £18 Ultimate Performance Ankle Brace - £20 Silva Race Plate Zoom$-£65 1000Mile Socks £8 Forearm descr Holder - £8 Please check website for $ Superfast + Fast Needle M/L - Mens & Ladies LED Lenser SEO7R Headtorch Saucony On/Off Road shoes - £75 TO SEE OUR FULL RANGE & SPECIAL OFFERS VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.ultrasport.co.uk Ultrasport Ltd, Nova House, Audley Avenue Enterprise Park, Newport, Shropshire TF10 7DW Tel: 01952 813 918 Fax: 01952 825 320 E-Mail: [email protected] Page 3 EMEWS Report on East Midlands Meeting – 18th January 2018 EMOA Trophies – At the East Midlands Champs at Eyam Moor and Bretton Clough, Mike Godfree arranged for photos to be taken of all the existing trophies so that it would be possible to assess which trophies needed replacing / repairing or updating. A proposal will be put together to identify the best actions to take going forward. New Level A Controller - Roger Edwards has been formally accepted as a Level A Controller, so we now have 2 in the region. Coaching – Hilary Palmer reported that the UK CCL level 2 course was successfully held at Sherwood Pines with 7 attendees (1 LEI, 2 DVO, 2 Junior Squad and 2 SYO attendees). All are hoping to complete their coaching qualification by the end of 2018. The cost to the region was £550 for the 2 Junior Squad members to attend and £240 for the venue. JIRCS 2018 - Sarah Pennell and Andy Hawkins presented on the current status of JIRCS 2018. The outstanding requirement is to get a controller for the Relay Day (they need to be someone outside of the region). A name was suggested that they would follow up. At this stage there are no other major problems. The budget has been updated with the latest information, including an agreed access fee for Chatsworth. The number of competitors estimated is based on numbers from last year’s event. The accommodation should have sufficient space for all attending. Some of the more senior members may need to use the external “pods”. Dietary requirements should be met by Mount Cook (the venue of the accommodation). Junior Squad - Anne-Marie Duckworth reported that Anthony Squires and herself had taken over from Dai Bedwell at the start of the autumn 2017 series. They wanted it recognised by EMOA how much effort Dai had put into organising, training and transporting our juniors to special training days and competitions over many years. The committee seconded those thoughts. See Anne-Marie’s detailed Junior Squad Report in this EMEWS. Future Events: (i) 25 Feb 2018 – Yvette Baker Trophy – LEI – Cademan (ii) 18 March 2018 - Midland Champs 2018 – LEI – Belvoir (iii) 29/30 Sep 2018 – JIRCS 2018 – DVO – Chatsworth / Carsington (iv) 30 Sep 2018 – East Midlands Score Champs – DVO - Carsington (v) 16 Dec 2018 – East Midlands Champs – NOC – Dukeries (vi) 17 March 2019 – CompassSport Cup Heat – NOC – Sherwood Pines (vii) 14/15 Sep 2019 – British Sprints / Middle 2019 – LEI / DVO – Loughborough / Chinley Churn (DVO need to get the officials formally approved) (viii) 8 Dec 2019 – East Midlands Champs – LOG - Grimsthorpe (ix) 11 Feb 2020 – Midland Champs 2020 – DVO – Shining Cliff Future Possible Events (i) CompassSport Cup Final 2021?

(iii) Midland Champs 2022 – NOC EMOA 50th Anniversary - There had been a number of suggestions as to what could be given to competitors at Midland Champs. Instead it was decided to aim to have something for EMOA Champs at end of the year. In addition we would create a logo for the EMOA celebrations and try to include it on all maps used for EM events this year. Chris Phillips to ask Ernie Williams if could design a logo. EM League Program - Ursula Williamson reported that the program used to run the East Midlands League had failed. However, this had now been rewritten by John Cooke and it seems to be working well, but Ursula would like folk to keep an eye on results to ensure it is working as expected. Dates and venues for future meetings - All meetings to be held at the Pace Room, St Mary’s Church, Clifton Village, Nottinghamshire at 7.30 p.m. The next committee meeting is scheduled for Monday 9th April 2018. The following meeting has been scheduled for Monday 11th June 2018. All members are welcome to attend if they wish. ----000---- EMJOS Summary – January 2018 The autumn 2017 season saw significant numbers of juniors participate in training. There was also good advances made to develop the EMJOS web page into a modern looking site appealing to juniors and informative to others. Review of past training: 16th & 17th Dec 2017 – SCJS training and Ash Ranges Selection race The juniors had a combined weekend trip – training on the Saturday with the South Central Junior Squad (SCJS), followed by competing in the junior selection event (Interland European competition) on Ash Ranges (near Guildford). 10 Juniors and 2 coaches went in a minibus and joined the SN training session just before lunch. The afternoon was just SCJS and EMJOS, focussed on relocation exercises and talking about recognising when relocating some distance saves time. The evening coaching session in the hall after swimming and supper was presented by Anthony Squire. It went through all the aspects of preparation “geeking” for the important big race. Assisted by Fiona Bunn and her international experience, we were completely ready for Ash Ranges: already knowing where the start and finish was likely to be, rough course routes and likely terrain to encounter. The juniors’ results were on the whole good times. 21st January Mansfield Woodhouse (Oxclose and Shirebrook areas tbc) 13 juniors and 5 coaches trained on a snowy Oxclose Woods near Mansfield Woodhouse, practicing pacing and compass bearings. The afternoon session was cancelled due to the weather. Page 5 EMEWS Future training Referring to the “O” Planner (spreadsheet on the EMJOS website showing major events and the likely interspersed dates for EMJOS training), the likely dates for training are: Saturday 10th February – Orienteering Federation Lakes training day (Tarn Hows) combined with a regional event at Black Beck (organised accommodation, training maps and 11 athletes booked, with 3 coaches).

  • N60.47.1208.17 Norton Bottoms, Item 32. PDF 2 MB
    Agenda Item 4.1 Regulatory and Other Committee Open Report on behalf of Richard Wills Executive Director, Environment & Economy Report to: Planning and Regulation Committee Date: 30 July 2018 Subject: County Matter Application - N60/47/1208/17 Summary: Planning permission is sought by Breedon Southern (Agent: Pleydell Smithyman Limited) for an extension to extract sand and gravel, together with the retention of all existing ancillary operations for the duration of the extended operations to provide a single consolidated consent for the entire site and a revised restoration strategy at Norton Bottoms Quarry, Stapleford, Lincolnshire in the parishes of Stapleford and Norton Disney. The proposed development would constitute an extension to the existing Norton Bottoms Quarry with a restoration scheme, incorporating existing operational areas, which would create a blend of habitats and improve public access to the local area. The proposed development is subject of an Environmental Impact Assessment submitted pursuant to the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 and an Environmental Statement has been submitted which assesses the potential impacts of the proposed development along with the mitigation measures proposed to avoid, reduce and, if possible, remedy any significant adverse impacts. The key issues to be considered in this case is the need and justification for the new mineral reserves and the principle of extracting sand and gravel from this site; the potential impacts on flood risk and drainage, highways, Public Rights of Way, the open countryside, landscape and agricultural land and nature conservation, and impacts on amenity including visual, noise and dust given the proximity to the village of Stapleford, and; any impacts of the development on the historic landscape and air safety with regard to the proximity of the quarry to RAF Waddington.

  • APPENDIX a Opportunity Mapping Methodology & Data Sources
    APPENDIX A Opportunity Mapping Methodology & Data Sources October 2013 Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping Study for Central Lincolnshire 11117101R_Final_Report_BW_10-13 Chris Blandford Associates 1.0 APPENDIX A 1.1 Opportunity Mapping Methodology and Data Sources Datasets Baseline Habitat Data 1.1.1 The biodiversity opportunity mapping process began with the acquisition, testing and expression of existing spatial data for the extant habitat resource. Data relating to the distribution and abundance of semi-natural habitats were provided by the Greater Lincolnshire Nature Partnership (GLNP), Natural England (NE), Forestry Commission (FC) and Woodland Trust (WT). It was indicated from an early stage that some of the NE datasets, in particular heathland, were not very accurate and could not be relied upon to give a true impression of habitat coverage in Central Lincolnshire (C.Lincs). The GLNP datasets were reported to be accurate, but mapping has only been carried out across a very small area (approximately 2% of C.Lincs). In order the most comprehensive baseline habitat dataset, the datasets were combined in order to display maximum coverage of habitats across C.Lincs, but priority has been given to displaying the GLNP datasets as a ‘top layer’ over those provided by NE, FC and WT. 1.1.2 There are around 80 different habitat types that make up the baseline inventory of existing semi-natural habitats (see Table A1 below). In order to rationalise the approach to opportunity mapping, the individual datasets were aggregated into a series of broad habitat types, in line with the habitat priorities set out in the Lincolnshire Biodiversity action Plan (2nd edition, 2006).

  • Green Infrastructure Study 3
    3.0 CENTRAL LINCOLNSHIRE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT 3.1 General 3.1.1 This section provides an analysis of key needs and opportunities for provision of GI across Central Lincolnshire as a whole within the context of the following GI functions: • Wildlife Habitat Provision; • Landscape/Townscape Setting and Historic Environment; • Sustainable Access, Recreation and Movement; • Sustainable Local Energy and Food Production; and • Sustainable Resource Management and Climate Change Adaptation. 3.1.2 It should be noted that there is often overlap between the GI functions. For example, wildlife provision and access to nature are closely related. This section should be read in conjunction with Section 4.0, which provides an assessment of GI needs and opportunities within the context of the defined GI Zones. 3.2 Wildlife Habitat Provision 3.2.1 Key needs and opportunities relating to wildlife habitat provision at the Central Lincolnshire scale are discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with Section 4.0, where wildlife habitat provision needs and opportunities are set out within the context of GI zones. Key Needs/Deficiencies Fragmented Habitats 3.2.2 Based on an analysis of available data141 it appears that despite some clusters of habitat within the Study Area, for example in the Lincolnshire Limewoods area, habitats are generally very fragmented, comprising mostly small and widely scattered sites. Small areas of habitat generally support fewer species and some species associated with particular habitats require relatively large areas of habitat and are therefore absent from smaller areas. In addition, small and isolated habitats and sites are more vulnerable to the potential negative effects of adjoining more intensive land uses and a range of other potential factors such as climate change.

  • RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and Near RAF Pocklington in WW2
    RAF Pocklington and Local Area Losses Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 The Halifax HR792 shown here made an emergency landing on the Isle of Lewis in WW2 and has been restored by the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington where it is now on permanent display. Although HR792 was not an RAF Pocklington aircraft, it is representative of the type flown from RAF Pocklington by No. 405 Squadron from April 1942 and later No. 102 Squadron to May 1945. Evident is the radome for the H2S radar scanner mounted under the central fuselage; also the much-revised fin & rudder shape which transformed handling and thus flight safety (see Part 1). © Pocklington & District Local History Group Aircraft Accidents & Losses at and near RAF Pocklington in WW2 Introduction © Copyright notice The article on the WW2 airfield at RAF Pocklington on the Pocklington & District Local This article is copyright the Pocklington & Local District History Group and no part may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including History Group website included details of several aircraft accidents and losses within the airfield photo-copying, recording or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in boundary and the adjacent Pocklington parish. writing from Andrew Sefton.
