  • January 2020 Venue - Peter Hall, Budleigh Salterton @ 7.30Pm Speaker - Mr Thomas Cadbury, Curator of RAMM Archaeology Collections
    Front cover image photographed and produced by Mo Bowman From the Editor I write this in anticipation of our forthcoming Christmas party – although there is a small amount of trepidation as I understand that someone is going to be murdered! It is sure to be a great evening and I hope to have a report and images (hopefully not too ghoulish) in the next issue. In looking forward to a new year and a new decade I make no apologies for re- printing a previous plea for your help and support. We know that there are many members out there with experience, skills and talent which could be very useful to our organisation. Our aims and objectives are very relevant at the moment and membership is growing. However, as with all organisations and societies, we do need people to become more than ‘passive’ members. At the start of this new year please give some thought as to how you could help move the OVA forward. Happy New Year to you all. Jacqui Baldwin Volunteers needed Everything we do – and we do a lot of things - has to be done by volunteers. Is there any way in which you could help? Whatever your area of interest or expertise we would be glad of your input whether on a regular basis or just a few hours – distributing newsletters, getting involved with the Natural Environment team, leading a walk, becoming a village rep, organising events, joining the Executive committee, publicity, history, planning – even writing an article for this newsletter! Fresh ideas and fresh faces are always welcome.

  • Strategy for the Exeter to Barnstaple Rail Line 2016—2025
    Strategy for the Exeter to Barnstaple Rail Line 2016—2025 Strategy for the future development of the Exeter to Barnstaple secondary mainline Produced and published by the Tarka Rail Association April 2016 Contents 1 Introduction 2 Background 3 Population and Employment growth 4 Assessing Demand 5 Other Factors 6 Aspirations Appendix 1 Current state of 2013 strategy aspirations Appendix 2 Line journey figures 2001-2015 Appendix 3 ORR estimates of station usage Appendix 4 Barnstaple Station draft plan Appendix 5 Possible Barnstaple—Axminster timetable Appendix 6 Comparative journey times 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 ‘A Strategy for the Exeter – Barnstaple Rail Line’ was published in 2013. A copy can be viewed on the Association’s website (www.tarkarail.com). The aspirations con- tained within that document and their current status are set out in APPENDIX 1. It will be seen that little progress has been made so far, although there are a num- ber of commitments in the GWR franchise. 1.2 However, circumstances alter and there has been a step change not only in passen- ger usage (see APPENDIX 2) but also in the strategic importance of the line in re- lation to economic growth, particularly in northern Devon, as well as considerable housing development. 1.3 This revised strategy looks forward for the next 10 years or so and sets out our as- pirations for service and station developments. SUMMARY OF OUR ASPIRATIONS The figures in brackets refer to the relevant paragraph in this document where more detail or justification is given. SHORT TERM 2016 - 2019 1 The need for additional passenger carrying capacity (6.2) 2 The need for additional early and late trains (6.3) 3 Barnstaple line trains to be extended to Axminster (6.4) 4 The desirability and passenger demand for through trains to London (6.5) 5 Reduction of the Barnstaple – Exeter journey time to 55 minutes or less.

  • Art on the East Devon Way
    This issue's cover “Uplifting Summer” was photographed and produced by Mo Bowman From the Editor After what seemed like a long Winter it has been lovely to see the countryside burst into life and to savour the long, light evenings. Hopefully the good weather will continue to enable us to enjoy some of the forthcoming events featured in this issue. We have walks, talks, Heath Week, Art on the Otter and a potential tour of Stantyway Farm to get us out and about. Let’s hope that we don’t have a repeat of the floods that occurred 50 years ago which are recalled by Haylor on page 12! Jacqui Baldwin Welcome to the new Chairman of the OVA At the AGM held on the 8th May in Otterton Village Hall, Bob Wiltshire was elected as our new Chairman. Bob was brought up in Topsham and joined the Merchant Navy as a midshipman with the Blue Funnel Line in 1962, qualifying as a Master Mariner ten years later. After 24 years of seafaring Bob came ashore and the poacher turned gamekeeper as he joined the Dublin Port Company, remaining there for 15 years before retiring as Harbour Master. He, and wife Maureen, returned to Devon in 2005 purchasing a property in Budleigh Salterton. Bob has been on the Executive Committee of the OVA for the past 7 years, holding the heady position of Assistant Minutes Secretary for a period.
