Oswestry Group Programme & Newsletter Oswestry Group Programme & Newsletter November 2017 to February 2018 page 1 page 2 Chairman’s Chat As many of you will know I am coming to the end of my term as your Chairperson after four years, so we are looking for someone to come forward and volunteer to be our next chairperson. I would like to thank three groups of people who have helped to make my job pleasant and enjoyable. To all members of Oswestry Ramblers for their support and encouragement, to all the walk leaders for their time and effort in giving us such a varied and interesting programme and to the members of the committee, past and present, for their support and work during my four years, so THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. The AGM is set for Tuesday 28 November, 7.15pm, at Whittington Cricket Club. Please come and see if we can have more members there than ever. The new walks programme is out and if there are any dates vacant, apart from those over Christmas, that will be due to the programme co-ordinators having less walks offered as our pool of walk leaders is diminished. We need members to see if they have a favourite walk they would like to offer to lead for the next programme. Thank you all once again and have good walking. Colin Chandler, Chair of Oswestry Ramblers Area News This will be replaced with a regular half-yearly newsletter. Dates for Your Diary • 28TH NOVEMBER 2017 GROUP AGM 7 pm for 7.15 pm at the Whittington Cricket Club. It is a ‘Bring a Plate’ event and there will also be a raffle plus country dancing.

  • Malamarhomes ARLESTON MANOR WELLINGTON
    WELLINGTON SHROPSHIRE malamarhomes ARLESTON MANOR WELLINGTON Arleston Manor Mews and Arleston Manor Drive is an historic, gated development of just fourteen three to six bedroom homes. Situated in the former grounds of Arleston Manor, a Grade II listed timber framed house of the late 16th century, you will be able to savour the unique character of this special location. According to local tradition, Arleston Manor was built as a hunting lodge for James I, though others say it was built by the Foresters for the same purpose. Apparently, Henry II also made it his abode on his hunting expeditions to the Wrekin Forest. The Forester family have been hereditary custodians of the portion of the Wrekin Forest known as Wellington Hay since the 12th century, and their name itself is derived from their profession. Today, however, you have the chance to live in this historic environment whilst benefiting from Malamar Homes’ customary exacting specification for modern living.

  • Llangedwyn - Mynydd Y Bryn - Sycharth Bh239029
    LLANGEDWYN - MYNYDD Y BRYN - SYCHARTH BH239029 A MODERATE walk of 9 miles, 23 miles from Shrewsbury. OS sheets 239&240 A scenic route with plenty of interest, above the Tanat and Cynllaith valleys, through the Llangedwyn Estate and visiting the site of Owain Glyndwr’s hall. 1. Start at Llangedwyn Mill Craft Centre (NGR 185241) Car Park. Go back to the village centre, either by road or across the fields from the 18th century bridge over the Tanat. Llangedwyn is a Watkin Williams Wynn estate village and the Hall is now their residence in place of Wynnstay by Ruabon. The Hall has a complicated history with much rebuilding and demolitions. The grounds have terraced gardens and a strange loose box building in the paddocks. The Estate church is mid-19th century by Benjamin Ferrey. A splendid hill fort, Llwyn Bryn Dinas, Bronze Age and Iron Age, overlooks the valley one mile west of the village, but there are no paths to it. 2. Walk up the private drive to Llangedwyn Hall. Take the right fork at the stables and take the right of way behind the Hall to climb north east. Take the left fork through the woods to reach a green lane. There is no exit from the green lane to the road, so for the last part walk up the field keeping the fence on your right. Exit onto the Llansilin road. 3. Turn right on the road. Turn left at gate marked Ash Tree Cottage over cattlegrid. At top of hill (where track veers right/downhill) go straight ahead through gate and keep hedge line on left.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

    The Powys Review NUMBER EIGHT Angus Wilson SETTING THE WORLD ON FIRE "A very distinguished novel ... It is superb entertain- ment and social criticism but it is also a poem about the life of human beings - a moving and disturbing book and a very superior piece of art.'' Anthony Burgess, Observer "Wonderfully intricate and haunting new novel. The complex relationships between art and reality . are explored with a mixture of elegance, panache and concern that is peculiarly his ... magnificent." Margaret Drabble, Listener "As much for the truth and pathos of its central relation- ships as for the brilliance of the grotesques who sur- round them, I found Setting the World on Fire the most successful Wilson novel since Late Call. I enjoyed it very much indeed.'' Michael Ratcliffe, The Times "A novel which will give much pleasure and which exemplifies the civilised standards it aims to defend." Thomas Hinde, Sunday Telegraph "A book which I admire very much . this is an immensely civilised novel, life enhancing, with wonder- fully satirical moments.'' David Holloway, Daily Telegraph "... an exceptionally rich work . the book is witty, complex and frightening, as well as beautifully written.'' Isobel Murray, Financial Times Cover: Mary Cowper Powys with (1. to r.) Llewelyn, Marian and Philippa, c. 1886.
