  • New Members Ken and Hazel Hall. Ken & Hazel Have Been
    Founders – Mike & Sue Bryant, Mike & Joan Chapman, Geoff & Margaret Hosking, Nigel & Jane Tarrant. Welcome Welcome to new members Ken and Hazel Hall. Ken & Hazel have been benefactors of SPSCC for some time, particularly in giving the membership the opportunity of attending some Jaguar events. As most of you know, the Halls are out and out Jaguar people and own some really mouth-watering examples of the marque. We look forward to seeing them at many of our events. Sunday 21st January Lunch at Lewinnick Lodge, Newquay. This is the first time that Joan & I had visited Lewinnick Lodge for lunch. The Lodge is situated in the most spectacular location possible, on a cliff side overlooking the roaring Atlantic. Roland and Wendy Calvert-Potter, who organised the lunch had wonderful support with thirty-one attendees. It was very gratifying that Dorianne joined us and we hope we will see her again at other events. I always enjoy a good Sunday roast and the one served at Lewinnick was exemplary. The Yorkshire puddings were truly outstanding, almost a meal in themselves. Delicious. A measure of the portions served was the fact that so few partook of a dessert, a rare SPSCC phenomenon indeed. This was our first event for the New Year and it was a delight to see so many of our fellow members joining in again. The afternoon route was planned by Mike & Sue Bryant and took us around the Headland at Newquay and because of the blustery nature of the weather, the waves were spectacularly high. Our Morgan was almost demolished going up Tower Road, when a female emerged from a side road without looking.

  • North Road Traffic (Pdf)
    North Road, Saltash HGV Rat Run Notes Current Situation: a) North Road Saltash is a residential classified B Road. b) It has been identified by Saltash Town Council as potentially having more traffic flow as a result of the planned Broadmoor development. c) Cornwall Council has very recently invested what must have been a considerable sum to improve the road for cyclists. d) It is an emergency road for tunnel closures. e) It is currently being used on an increasing scale as a “rat run” for H G V’ leaving the A38 at the Saltash off slip and seeking to avoid using the tunnel even when it is self-evident that the tunnel and bridge main carriage ways are running freely. f) The HGV’s are not doing anything illegal but what they are doing is grossly anti-social, causing noise and air pollution on a residential road, and are creating a dangerous environment in a built up area. Any Plan to deal with the problem will require: a) A precursor to any plan the Town Council need to recognise and accept that there is a problem and then resolve to do something about the problem. b) A plan set up to engage local business’ and other hauliers would be a logical 1st step. c) Goodwill and common sense from all concerned. d) One or two willing collaborators that can be used as an example to others – only responsible haulage operators are welcome in Saltash, hauliers that commit to making North Road an HGV no go road. Potential Solution: a) No solution can be contemplated unless and until as above Saltash Town Council recognises that there is a growing problem for the residents of North Road and then resolve to do something about it.

  • Structural Health Monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge
    Structural health monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge K.Y. Kooa, J.M.W. Brownjohna,∗, D.I. Listb, R. Coleb aSir Frederick Mappin Building, Mappin Street, University of Sheffield, S1 3JD, UK bTamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee, Plymouth, UK Abstract This paper presents experiences and lessons from the structural health moni- toring practice on the Tamar Bridge in Plymouth, UK, a 335m span suspension bridge opened in 1961. After 40 years of operations the bridge was strength- ened and widened in 2001 to meet a European Union requirement to carry heavy goods vehicles up to 40 tonnes weight, a process in which additional stay cables and cantilever decks were added and the composite deck was replaced with a lightweight orthotropic steel deck. At that time a structural monitoring system comprising wind, temperature, cable tension and deck level sensors was installed to monitor the bridge behaviour during and after the upgrading. In 2006 and 2009 respectively, a dynamic response monitoring system with real time modal parameter identification and a three-dimensional total positioning system were added to provide a more complete picture of the bridge behavior, and in 2006 a one day ambient vibration survey of the bridge was carried out to characterize low frequency vibration modes of the suspended structure. Practical aspects of the instrumentation and data processing & management are discussed and some key response observations are presented. The bridge is a surprisingly com- plex structure with a number of inter-linked load-response mechanisms evident, all of which have to be characterized as part of a long term structural health monitoring exercise.

  • NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016
    NATO Summit Guide Warsaw, 8-9 July 2016 An essential Alliance in a more dangerous world The Warsaw Summit comes at a defining moment for the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. In recent years, the world has become more volatile and dangerous with Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilisation of eastern Ukraine, as well as its military build-up from the Barents Sea to the Baltic, and from the Black Sea to the eastern Mediterranean; turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa, fuelling the biggest migrant and refugee crisis in Europe since World War Two; brutal attacks by ISIL and other terrorist groups, as well as cyber attacks, nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile threats. NATO is adapting to this changed security environment. It also remains committed to fulfilling its three core tasks: collective defence, crisis management and cooperative security. And, in the Polish capital, the Alliance will make important decisions to boost security in and around Europe, based on two key pillars: protecting its citizens through modern deterrence and defence, and projecting stability beyond its borders. NATO member states form a unique community of values, committed to the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. In today’s dangerous world, transatlantic cooperation is needed more than ever. NATO embodies that cooperation, bringing to bear the strength and unity of North America and Europe. This Summit is the first to be hosted in Poland and the first to be chaired by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who took up his post in October 2014.
