I was a teenager and very much in awe of Mr Pitman who like most men of his generation in the belfry appeared to me to be a rather forbidding figure. At that time I had no idea about his achievements in ringing composition. Forty years later I decided to write his biography. I wish I’d started it earlier when more of his generation were still with us. I soon discovered that a major source of information about his life was that important repository of ringing history, The Ringing World (RW). My thanks go to all the editors of this journal for continuing to provide this resource from 1911 to the present day. Searching the RW over Pitman’s lifetime and beyond would have taken at least twice as long without the help of Dianne Martin of the Hereford Guild who thoroughly and thoughtfully searched about half the issues between 1911 and 1967 – i.e. 628 issues amounting to around 20,000 pages! Not only that but she helped with research in Aberavon and in the Llandaff and Monmouth Diocesan Association Library. She also critically read through the first draught of the book and first suggested the title, “An Unassuming Genius”, which was a term used to describe A.J. Pitman by Eric Critchley which she found in a report to the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) in The Ringing World. I would also like to thank Dorothy Hurn (Jack Pitman’s daughter), who put up with and cheerfully answered my countless questions about her father over many hours. Thanks also to Ruth James, who collected a veritable dossier of information, a deluge of photographs about her grandfather and acted as an intermediary with the whole family. I would also like to thank all the Pitman grandchildren, who provided me directly or indirectly with memories, photographs and artefacts: Josie Morris, Michael Pitman, Daisy Bickley, Dorothy Bowles, David Pitman, Pat Pitman, Sheila Pitman, Judith Pooley, Geoffrey Henderson, Russell Henderson and Joan Davies, who now lives in Australia but who furnished me with many details about life with Jack Pitman during his wife’s long illness. Many others have helped and contributed to this work and these I list below. I have tried to include everyone, but if I have forgotten you, please don’t think I am not grateful for your contribution. John R. Bibby, Allan Bickley; Ron Blick; Robin Brown; Jeremy Clare; Ralph G. Edwards; Martin Fellows; Bob Hardy; Jean Howells; Godfrey Hebdon; Ian and Marian Holland; Chris J. Hughes; Incumbents of St Catharine’s Church Baglan and St Mary’s Church, Aberafan, Paul and Kath Johnson; Siân Lloyd; Frank Moreton; Linda Perry; Des Philips; Raymond Preece; Brian Price; Mark Regan; Hilary Rose; Robert Sherriff; Nick iiiiii Simon; Keith Walpole; Nigel Wilkins; C. Kenneth Lewis, Raymond Preece, Jack Pryor, Jack Warrall and Bert Williams, who have since died; Peter Dyson and Maurice Thermott, who read the manuscript and provided valuable comments; Jean Sanderson, who rigorously proof-read the final version and John and Margaret Eisel, who allowed me to spend many hours in their home consulting volumes in the CCCBR Library, I would also like to thank the following institutions and organisations where I obtained information and where it was gladly given by invariably helpful staff: Anglia Ruskin University Library, Cambridge University Library, The CCCBR Library, Histon Library, Llandaff and Monmouth Diocesan Association Library, The National Library of Wales, S4C Television, Port Talbot Library, Port Talbot Historical Society, Swansea and Brecon Diocesan Guild, City and County of Swansea Central Reference Library, The William Pye Memorial Archive and Woolavington Historic Resources. Finally I would like to thank my family and particularly my wife Jackie, who not only put up with a project taking over my life for many years, but also critically, carefully and constructively read and corrected the manuscript. iviv CONTENTS Page Acknowledgements iii Illustrations vi Chapter 1 Childhood and Youth 1 Chapter 2 Foundations: 1910’s 15 Chapter 3 Grandsire to Surprise: 1920’s 33 Chapter 4 Splicing and All the Work: 1930’s 59 Chapter 5 In Pursuit of a Masterpiece: 1940’s 83 Chapter 6 His Masterpiece and Beyond: 1950’s 101 Chapter 7 The Last Course: 1960’s 135 vv Illustrations Page 1 The Pitman Family Tree. viii 2 The Grave Stone of Albert E.

    Expert Assessment of TLSB’s monitoring proposal for Atlantic salmon and sea trout, as set out in the Adaptive Environmental Management Plan (AEMP) Prof. Carlos Garcia de Leaniz, Dr. Luca Börger, Dr. Jim Bull, Dr. Sofia Consuegra Swansea University, College of Science Department of BioSciences Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP Swansea 17 June 215 1 In relation to the Tidal Lagoon Swansea Bay development, this report comprises 1. A critical assessment of the power analysis done by THA on behalf of TLSB 2. An outline of some forecasting simulations , along with some pilot results, to address some of the question being asked in the AEMP 3. An outline of alternative ways of monitoring that would better fulfil some of the AEMP’s objectives 2 1. Critical assessment of the power analysis done by THA on behalf of TLSB In their Adaptive Environmental Management Plan (Revision 4 of 25 November 2014), and then on Document No. 580N0601 dated 20 February 2015, THA presented the results of a power analysis based of annual rod catches for salmon and sea trout in the rivers Tawe, Afan and Neath which were claimed to indicate that 3 years of monitoring might be enough to detect an impact on rod catches. Some relevant statements of these two reports are reproduced below: The proportional representation data was less variable because the proportion that any one year made up of the total count for the period of record is likely to be more consistent from year to year than the raw rod count for many reasons, e.g.

  • Innogy UK Leads the Way in Green Hydrogen Research at Swansea University
    Press Release innogy UK leads the way in green hydrogen research at Swansea University · innogy UK has funded a Masters by Research at Swansea University’s ESRI department · Feasibility study to be carried out on the economic viability of hydrogen from onshore wind · innovative technology is needed to get Wales to net zero carbon by 2050 South Wales, October 2019 Innogy Renewable UK Ltd. is funding innovative research at Swansea University and investing in a Masters by Research at the Department for Engineering Science and Research Institute. This will specifically look at whether it is economically viable to generate green hydrogen from onshore wind. This will be the first of its kind for Swansea University. Charles Dunhill from Swansea University said “We are thrilled to be collaborating with innogy on this Masters by Research. Hydrogen is set to play a major part in Wales’ transition to a zero-carbon future and Swansea is well placed to benefit. It’s in our interest to really lead the way.” Jeremy Smith, Head of Development Strategy for Onshore Wind at innogy UK said: “We are excited to see this Masters commence. Green hydrogen is a clean energy carrier and can play a key role in Wales’ transition to a low carbon economy. It can offer the option for long duration energy storage which in turn can help with any intermittencies renewable energy projects can create. Green hydrogen could really help balance grid whilst at the same time help decarbonise our heat and transport systems.” innogy is already the largest renewable energy operator in Wales and generates one third of all of the country‘s renewable electricity.

  • Report on the Welsh Beaches in Need of A
    Surfers Against Sewage Are Calling For A Review of the UK’s Bathing Water Sample Sites. Welsh Report Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) believe the weekly bathing water samples required by the EU Bathing Water Directive should be taken from the area of the bathing water that presents bathers and water users with the greatest source of pollution, if a significant amount of bathers and recreational water users can be expected to regularly use that area of beach. Surfers Against Sewage are concerned that 45 designated bathing water sample spots around the UK do not provide a true guide to the water quality that a bather or water user might experience at our bathing waters, including 11 in Wales. The implications are incredible concerning, as our widely promoted water quality results could be misleading the public about the potential health risk at a number of the UK’s bathing water. The Bathing Water Directive states (Art3.3) the monitoring point should be where most bathers are expected or the greatest risk of pollution is expected, according to the bathing water profile. In the UK Regulations (Schedule 4.1) Defra have transposed the obligation to locate the monitoring point where the most bathers are expected. This was part of the original transposition The European Commission’s Reference Document for the monitoring and assessment requirements of the revised Bathing Water Directive published August 2014 states: • A bathing water is not defined by its physical size. The length of its corresponding beach can vary between bathing waters and the distribution of bathers within a bathing water can be uneven.

The development of change ringing in the early 17th century was mainly due to the invention of the full-circle wheel on which the bells were mounted. By pulling a rope, a bell would make a rotation of almost 360 degrees with a period of approximately two seconds. The time between two strikes of the same bell could be controlled rather accurately, which made it possible to ring a certain number of bells all after each other and keep repeating this in the same order.

Front cover photograph by David Dennis, Environmental Images. Foreword Water is so often taken for granted, especially in Wales. After all, it seems to be raining rather often, so surely there has to be a plentiful supply for all our needs! And our needs are many and varied. All our houses need water; hospitals need water; industries need water; breweries need water; some recreational activities need water, this list is endless, and at the same time we need to ensure that we keep enough water in the rivers to protect the environment. It follows that this precious resource has to be carefully managed if all interests, often conflicting, can be properly served.
