Tonbridge School Pa / Operations Assistant
TONBRIDGE SCHOOL PA / OPERATIONS ASSISTANT Tonbridge School is one of the leading boys' boarding schools in the country and is highly respected internationally. The school aims to provide a caring and enlightened environment in which the talents of each individual flourish. We encourage boys to be creative, tolerant and to strive for academic, sporting and cultural excellence. Respect for tradition and an openness to innovation are equally valued. A well-established house system at the heart of the school fosters a strong sense of belonging. Tonbridge seeks to celebrate its distinctive mixture of boarders and day boys; this helps to create a unique broadening and deepening of opportunity. We want boys to enjoy their time here, but also to be made aware of their social and moral responsibilities. Tonbridgians should enter into the adult world with the knowledge and self-belief to fulfil their own potential and to become leaders in their chosen field. Equally, we hope to foster a life-long empathy for the needs and views of others; in the words of the great novelist and Old Tonbridgian E.M. Forster: 'Only Connect'. Tonbridge School Job Title: PA / Operations Assistant Reporting to: Commercial and Operations Director (COD) Main Purpose: To provide administrative support for the Commercial and Operations Director, assisting with the effective operation and development of the School’s support functions.

Tonbridge Castle and Its Lords
Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 16 1886 TONBRIDGE OASTLE AND ITS LORDS. BY J. F. WADMORE, A.R.I.B.A. ALTHOUGH we may gain much, useful information from Lambard, Hasted, Furley, and others, who have written on this subject, yet I venture to think that there are historical points and features in connection with this building, and the remarkable mound within it, which will be found fresh and interesting. I propose therefore to give an account of the mound and castle, as far as may be from pre-historic times, in connection with the Lords of the Castle and its successive owners. THE MOUND. Some years since, Dr. Fleming, who then resided at the castle, discovered on the mound a coin of Con- stantine, minted at Treves. Few will be disposed to dispute the inference, that the mound existed pre- viously to the coins resting upon it. We must not, however, hastily assume that the mound is of Roman origin, either as regards date or construction. The numerous earthworks and camps which are even now to be found scattered over the British islands are mainly of pre-historic date, although some mounds may be considered Saxon, and others Danish. Many are even now familiarly spoken of as Caesar's or Vespa- sian's camps, like those at East Hampstead (Berks), Folkestone, Amesbury, and Bensbury at Wimbledon. Yet these are in no case to be confounded with Roman TONBEIDGHE CASTLE AND ITS LORDS. 13 camps, which in the times of the Consulate were always square, although under the Emperors both square and oblong shapes were used.* These British camps or burys are of all shapes and sizes, taking their form and configuration from the hill-tops on which they were generally placed. -

Tools and Materials String Line 3 Ft Level (including horizontal and vertical sight) 20mm Dia Masonry drill bit (marked with tape @ 50mm) Angle grinder and stone cutting disc (if cutting stones to fit an exact length) Bricklayers trowel and pointing trowel Soft sand (building sand) Ordinary Portland cement Pointing mixture- 4:1 mix of silica sand : white cement (available from Kent Balusters) The ‘Bodiam’ balustrade consists of large, square pier blocks with sections of balustrade running between them. Additional Suggestions Setting the pier blocks out accurately is essential and it will make the rest of the fixing process easier. First, check that the area is level enough to build the balustrade on. Next, mark the positions of the pier blocks and accurately measure the distances between piers to ensure that you have enough sections of stonework. • If you need to cut plinth and coping sections to fit into a bay, Place the pier blocks in positon using four wooden wedges underneath each pier. Use a level to ensure that then cut a small amount off several the piers are vertical and a string line to ensure that the piers are square on to each other and in line. The gap underneath the pier block should about 20mm. Mix up a mortar consisting of 5 parts soft sand to 1 part OP cement pieces. This way you will not use and pour some of it into the hole in the centre of the pier block. Using a baton or a gloved hand, push the mortar any more stones and you will get a out into the gap under the pier until some squeezes out around the outside of the pier. -

The Truth Behind Op Stack.Pdf
THE TRUTH BEHIND OPERATION STACK 1. What is Operation Stack? Operation Stack is an emergency procedure implemented by Kent Police to ‘stack’ coast-bound cross-Channel freight traffic on parts of the M20 motorway. History Although originally operated on the A2 by Kent Police before the M20 was completed, once the Channel Tunnel was built and the trunk road from the M20 through to Dover was completed, the M20 became the primary route for cross-Channel freight vehicles. A new version of Operation Stack was subsequently devised for the M20, initially comprising of a coast-bound closure between Junction 11 and Junction 13 as Phase 1 and, if required, a closure of the London-bound carriage way for Phase 2. Purpose Stack is activated when there is a significant blockage to the flow of cross-Channel freight traffic beyond the control of the Port that results in demand for space at either the Channel Tunnel or Port of Dover Ferry Terminal outstripping their parking capacity, resulting in traffic backing up onto the surrounding road network. It has been needed during times of stress such as:- Strike action in Calais Extreme weather conditions Channel Tunnel problems (e.g. migrant incursions, line failure etc) 1 2. Stack Today Implementation Operation Stack is activated by Kent Police based on information received from several sources including the Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel. Good communication with Kent Police is essential in notifying of any problems that may lead to the need for Stack as it takes approximately two hours from the time of notification to actually closing the motorway and takes a considerable amount of police resource. -
