50 + Years of Community Service 50 + Years of Community Service An updated history of the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Community Service Vehicle Trust (Founded in 1967 – Charity No 276166) Celebrations of the 50th Anniversary Photograph shows: Melvyn [Chair] and Nick [Manager] with several drivers 2 Foreword to 50th + Edition Time marches on! It is over 10 years since ‘40 Years On’ – a short history of the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Community Vehicle Trust was published. As that was a limited edition and much has happened since then, this Edition marking 50+ years incorporates text and photographs from that publication. The Trust is now on its 6th community minibus. The founders’ objectives are still being fulfilled – to provide a service for the elderly and infirm to attend their local community groups. Norton – Radstock Town Council has now been supereded by individual Town Councils in Midsomer Norton and Radstock and a separate Parish Council at Westfield. So many people have been involved with the minibus operation, both driving and behind the scenes over the 50+ years – our ‘thank you’ to them for their dedication! This limited edition is being made available free of charge to the local community also as a ‘thank you’ for their past and continuing support. Donations towards the work of the Trust may be made payable to ‘Midsomer Norton & Radstock CSVT’ and sent to the Treasurer at 8 St. Mark’s Road, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2EN. Grateful thanks are accorded to Martin Dymond and Fosseway Press (Radstock) Ltd for their assistance with the production of this booklet. David A Shearn Spring 2019 Greetings Reid Speirs, President of Midsomer Norton and Radstock Rotary Club, writes: ‘Life expectancy has dramatically increased over the past 50 years and predictions for the future continue this trend with an anticipated 30% increase in the active UK population over 80 years of age during the next 25 years and with longevity comes increased pressures on social care requirements. 50 years ago, Midsomer Norton & Radstock Rotary Club was proud to be an initial sponsor of the Community Bus Trust and we continue to support this valued community asset. The need for this service is just as essential now as it was at the inception. The Trust continues to provide cost effective ‘door to door’ transport for groups in our community, who in turn serve the elderly and disabled, and the scope for this service may well reach beyond these original core groups in the future. Rotary is pleased to continue involvement with the Trust, which relies substantially upon voluntary support and staffing.’ Bill Freeman, Chief Executive of the Community Transport Association, writes: ‘The Community Transport Association is a national charity that represents and supports providers of community transport: thousands of local charities and community groups across the UK that all provide transport services that fulfil a social purpose and community benefit. We are for and about accessible and inclusive transport. CTA send greetings to the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Community Service Vehicle Trust. The work carried out by your members and volunteer drivers is greatly appreciated. I was privileged to attend the 50th Celebration Lunch in 2017 and witness the valuable work your organisation does and the impact on your community. Here’s to another 50 years!’ The Chair of Bath & North East Somerset Council for 2017-18, Councillor Cherry Beath writes: ‘I am delighted, as Chair of Bath & North East Somerset Local Authority, to endorse the work of Midsomer Norton & Radstock CSV Trust, in this milestone publication of its work over the last 50 years. It is a huge tribute to the Trust that it has been in existence for so many years, making it one of the oldest operators in the UK. 3 The Trust has wonderful support, a hard working Team, and faithful and dedicated Volunteers. It provides an invaluable service to so many groups in the Community, giving vital help in enabling people to get to various activities, like luncheon clubs, outings and other services. Loneliness and isolation can so often be a negative feature for us as we age, suffer the loss of a partner, or have physical or mental health issues. We know how important it is for all round health and well being that folk can get out in the Community, socialise and take part. Many of those people the Trust helps have difficulties with mobility and access, and the work of the Midsomer Norton & Radstock CSV Trust clearly is a tremendous asset and support to this community. I thoroughly recommend this publication, and it just remains for me to say a big “thank you” and “very well done” to all for this work.’ The Mayor of Midsomer Norton, Councillor Paul Myers writes: ‘The Silver Minibus is a frequent sight in Midsomer Norton – helping members of the community to get to many of the town’s clubs, services and outings. This wonderful service, founded in 1967 and run by volunteers ever since, has been helping our local community for half a century. Well done and thank you from Midsomer Norton Town Council on behalf of all the town’s residents!’ The Mayor of Radstock, Councillor Rupert Bevan writes: The Radstock Town Council congratulates the Midsomer Norton & Radstock Community Service Vehicle Trust on recently celebrating their Golden Jubilee. Over these years the Trust has benefited many people in Midsomer Norton and Radstock providing a valuable service that has enhanced so many people’s lives. The Town Council has been proud to support the Trust over past years through their grants scheme. The scheme aims to support organisations who demonstrate they benefit people within Radstock, in particular those who are disadvantaged or isolated, possibly due to poverty, disability, age, location or culture. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you continued support and goodwill for the years to come.’ The Chair of Westfield Parish Council, Councillor Geoff Fuller writes: ‘The need in the community for a community mini-bus service grows month by month, as we face the dual challenges of austerity and an aging population. For the elderly, disabled and disadvantaged this is a vital service. The community mini-bus is well used in Westfield and that has been greatly appreciated by all those in need. Thank you to all who give their time to this service and enhancing the lives of so many people. It is great to be part of something that works so well and has done for the past 50 years. Long may it keep going!’ The Member of Parliament for the Constituency of North East Somerset, Jacob Rees-Mogg writes: ‘It is with great honour that I have been asked to write a greeting for the updated history of how a community minibus has transformed the lives of so many. Without the generosity of locals – whether it be through donations or giving their time – this project could not have flourished in the way it has. I know that there are a great number of people who rely on volunteers to keep them mobile, by driving them to their clubs, churches and organisations in the district and surrounding areas. Such kindness and community spirit is invaluable and I am proud that this wonderful service is available in North East Somerset.’ Melvyn Johnson, Chairman of the Trustees & Management Committee (also a driver), writes: ‘10 years ago when I was asked to contribute to the 40 year booklet, I said that, before I moved to the area in 1998, I did not even know what community transport was about. Now a decade on, I find I am still involved, surrounded by a dedicated team of people that give their time voluntarily, some to drive and assist our passengers, others who work behind the scenes, administrating, co- ordinating and making sure the minibus is fit for use. It is these people that we have to thank for 4 the continued provision of this fantastic service to the towns of Midsomer Norton and Radstock and surrounding villages. Long may the community bus continue to serve.’ Mollie Arnold, Daughter of John Moss, one of the founders from the Rotary Club and Secretary of Midsomer Norton & Radstock Inner Wheel Club has written: ‘Congratulations to the Community Service Vehicle Trust on reaching 50 years. With very best wishes for the future with the service you give to the local community from Midsomer Norton & Radstock Inner Wheel Club.’ Memories and more Alan Parfitt, Past Chairman and Organiser, writes: ‘Congratulations to all involved with the Community Service Vehicle, past and present. I often think of my many years of involvement. We went through high times and also low times, transporting people to their clubs and the annual holiday on to the North Somerset Coast. In an earlier e-mail Alan mentions Paul Hanks of the Social Services and local Councillor Ken Curtis, in particular Ted Russell and his former Admiralty colleagues John Dymond and Pete Carter who were all very much involved with the community bus affairs. ‘I was very pleased when Stephen Powell took over when I moved to live elsewhere. CSV is now 50+. Here’s to the next 50!’ Stephen Powell, Trustee and former Co-ordinator writes: ‘I first got involved with the Trust in about 1998, having unwisely attended an Annual General Meeting – four of us – Alan Parfitt, David Carter, myself and A N Other. Having had to give up work I was driving for Timsbury Pensioners at the time and had just returned home when Alan presented me with the black brief case and said ‘You are the bus!’ So I looked after the bookings, found drivers, etc until late in 2015. Judith Stanford (nee Painting) of Chilcompton writes: ‘You may be interested with my involvement with the first minibus.

  • The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place
    The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place. Submitted by Jonathan Freeman Croose to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography May 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. …………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract: This thesis analyses ethnographic data gathered during participant observation within two vernacular town carnivals in East Devon and Dorset during 2012 and within the professional Cartwheelin’ and Battle for the Winds street performances which were staged as part of the Maritime Mix programme of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad at Weymouth. The thesis presents qualitative perspectives with regard to the cultural performance of carnival in the fieldwork area, in order to analyse the ‘performativity’ of carnival in these contexts: how it enacts and embodies a range of instrumentalities with regard to notions of community, culture and place. The thesis serves to unpack the ‘performance efficacy’ of carnival within the wider political and cultural landscape of the UK in the early 21st century, revealing the increasing influence of institutional policy on its aesthetics and cultural performance. By way of contrast, the thesis also asserts the value of vernacular carnivalesque street performance as a contestation of hegemonic notions of ‘art’, ‘place’ and ‘culture’.

It was noted that the school was currently without a lollipop person but it was also noted that the lollipop service did not cover pre-school hours. Mrs Trott reported that parents had expressed concern at the dangers of crossing Bell Hill with small children, due to the speed and volume of the traffic and asked for consideration to be given to a zebra or pelican crossing to address this problem. Cllr Scarrow confirmed that she shared the concerns raised and reported that the issue had been discussed at a recent governor’s meeting. She expressed concern that the 20 mph limit was not slowing the traffic down as it came into the village. Cllr Eastment reported that there were technical issues relating to the installation of any pedestrian crossing. He reported that the lollipop lady had left her post due to safety concerns. He also reported that the speed indicator device had been installed at the bottom of Bell Hill and the data would be extracted and reported to the police and to Highways.
