One of the aims of the Russell Society is to encourage the study, recording and conservation of mineralogical sites and material. Among the various activities undertaken in pursuit of this aim, members make many field visits to sites around the country and attend many lectures and other in- door meetings. The Russell Society promotes a high degree of responsibility amongst its members in the achievement of its aims, especially with regard to Health and Safety (H&S) matters. It has A Health and Safety Policy A Field Leaders Indemnity Form A Risk Assessment Form An Incident Report Form A Guide to Good Practice A Field Visit Check List These documents are to encourage enjoyable and interesting visits and meetings that are educa- tional, involve conservation and recording, and are incident free. They also show the responsible attitude that the Russell Society and its members have to health and safety issues. The views and opinions expressed in this Newsletter are those of its correspondents, and are not necessarily agreed with or shared by the Editors, the Council, the Russell Society or its Members. The accuracy of submissions is the responsibility of the authors or Society branches and will not necessarily be checked by the Editor for validity. ISSUE NO. 64 - Page 2 - March 2014 RUSSELL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Editorial So here we are, already well into the New Year, with the first Russell Society Newsletter of 2014. I hope all you readers managed to avoid being flooded, blown away or otherwise inconvenienced by the storms around the turn of the year and are enjoying 2014. A new year always means new opportunities – to learn a bit more about minerals and mineralogy, to go out collecting, to visit mineral shows, to attend Society meetings and events and so on. I hope you are all planning an active and productive year. It is clearly important that the Society’s membership supports and contributes actively to its programme of activities and events. On that score a couple of thoughts have recently crossed my mind. Firstly, I notice that Peter Wallace, the long serving Chairman of the South-East Branch has had to step down due to personal circumstances. Peter deserves a lot of thanks from a lot of people for his efforts over the years on behalf of the Branch and the Society generally. Unfortunately, at the last Branch AGM they were unable to identify a successor and so the positions of Chairman and Events Secretary are now both vacant. This has lead to a decision to suspend the Branch programme of monthly lecture meetings until further notice. I think that this is a shame and I can only hope that “willing volunteers” can be found shortly to fill the vacant positions and that the Branch programme can be reinstated as soon as possible. Secondly, by the time you read this we shall be rapidly approaching the Russell Society AGM Weekend, to be held this year from the 11th to 13th of April on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. This is the Society’s major event of the year and we are keen to see it well supported. AGM weekends are always a stimulating and enjoyable experience and anyone who has not experienced one really should do so. If you have not booked to attend what looks like a fascinating and enjoyable weekend it’s probably not too late. Get in touch with Chris Finch or Gary Morse and sign up! On the subject of AGMs, if you are really looking ahead, you should note that the Society AGM weekend in 2015 will be organised by the Wales and West Branch. It’s bound to be a great experience – watch out for more information, for example on the Society website. A sad but regular feature of recent Newsletters has been the number of obituaries of Members and, I’m afraid, this issue is a particularly sad example. In the following pages you will find appreciations of Don Alderson, Roy Frankum, Arnie Neale and Brian Atkins all of whom were well known to many RS Members and who all died last year. As you know, in 2013 we also lost Bob King, the Russell Society’s founder. Bob’s obituary has already appeared in the last issue of the RS Journal (Volume 16, 2013). In this Newsletter you will find a further celebration of Bob’s life, including thoughts and reminiscences from some of those who knew him. As with the last few issues, I shall be circulating an electronic (.pdf) version of this Newsletter shortly after the paper version goes out. Previous e-versions have drawn a lot of positive comment and I would encourage you to look at it – even if you have already read your paper version. In the last e-mail distribution, there were only a few e-mail addresses that “bounced” back as incorrect or inoperative. Clearly our list of members’ e-mail addresses is getting more accurate – but it’s still not perfect. Please ensure that Neil Hubbard, our Membership Secretary, has your current and correct e-mail address. If you are reading this but did not receive an electronic pdf version of the last Newsletter then clearly we did not have a valid e-mail address for you on file. If you have one, please let Neil know it. Notably, in a recent e-mail survey of our overseas members, the great majority agreed to receive only an e-version of the Newsletter in future – although they will continue to receive paper copies of the RS Journal. This is very helpful as the costs of mailing Newsletters overseas was getting to be significant, and we are grateful to them for agreeing this. As you know, Dr. Norman Moles has stepped down from the Editor’s chair of the RS Journal. Many heartfelt thanks must go from all members to Norman for his excellent efforts over an extended period. His place has been taken by Dr. Malcolm Southwood, a long time RS member who resides in the State of Victoria in Australia. This arrangement is made possible by the wonders of modern electronic communication and we are confident that it will work well. Malcolm has written a short article for this Newsletter to introduce himself and explain how he hopes to operate. This should

  • The Rove Beetles of Leicestershire and Rutland
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Rove Beetles (Staphylinidae) of Leicestershire and Rutland Part 1: Sub-families Paederinae, Pseudopsinae and Staphylininae Derek A. Lott Creophilus maxillosus (Graham Calow) LESOPS 24 (2011) ISSN 0957 – 1019 Correspondence: 5 Welland Road, Barrow upon Soar, LE12 8NA VC55 Staphylinids Part 1 2 Introduction With over 56,000 described species in the world, the Staphylinidae are the largest family in the animal kingdom (Grebennikov & Newton, 2009). Around a quarter of the British beetles are rove beetles, so they represent an important component of biodiversity in Britain. However, because of perceived difficulties in their identification, they have not received the attention that they merit. This paper aims to play a part in redressing that imbalance by listing all reliable records from Leicestershire and Rutland for the different species and analysing which species have declined locally over 100 years of recording rove beetles and which have prospered. The subfamilies treated in this first part include the largest and most conspicuous species in the family. The geographical area covered is the vice county of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55). Some records from adjacent banks of the River Soar that technically lie in Nottinghamshire are also included. These records can be distinguished by the use of Nottinghamshire parish names. Identification Staphylinidae can be easily recognised among beetles in the field by their short wing cases that leave five or six segments of the abdomen exposed and flexible. In fact they look more like earwigs than other beetles. For identification to species, all the members of the subfamilies in this part will be covered by the forthcoming Royal Entomological Society handbook to Staphylinidae parts 6 and 7 due for publication in 2011.

  • Charnwood Borough Council Local Green Space Assessment (May 2021)
    Charnwood Borough Council Local Green Space Assessment (May 2021) Introduction 1. This report assesses sites that have been submitted to the Council against the criteria for Local Green Space that are set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).Paragraph 99 of the (NPPF) sets out that communities can ‘identify and protect green areas of particular importance to them’ through designation as Local Green Space within a Local Plan. In accordance with Paragraph 101 of the NPPF ‘Policies for managing development within a Local Green Space should be consistent with those for Green Belts’. 2. Charnwood Borough Council consulted on its draft Local Plan in late 2019 and question 30d of the consultation document gave local communities the opportunity to identify sites to be considered for Local Green Space designation. The following sites were proposed for designation: a) Leconfield Road, Nanpantan (Draft Plan Allocation HS33) b) Land at the Ridgeway/ behind the Garland, Rothley c) Fields between Templar Way, Westfield Lane, the Ridgeway and West Cross Lane, Rothley d) Little Haw Lane, Shepshed e) Glenmore Park, Shepshed f) Oakley Road Park, Shepshed g) Land off Beacon Road, Loughborough (Draft Plan Allocation HS18) h) Site between Cross Hill Lane, Beacon Road and Parklands Drive, Loughborough 3. Site b is a parcel of land within site c. Site g is a parcel of land within site h. All sites are however treated as proposed on their own individual merits. Where exact boundaries of proposed sites were not provided, reasonable estimated boundaries have been drawn for the purpose of the assessment. Policy Requirements for Local Green Space Designation 4.
