We wish her every happiness in her retirement after twenty-four years on the staff. The high esteem and affection in which Miss Bailey has always been held were expressed in the large number of former pupils who attended the O .G.A. reunion last summer, making this event a memorable and truly enjoyable occasion. As Miss Bailey has joined the O.G.A., we hope for a large attendance next summer also and in future years : Miss Bailey, assuredly, will be there. Our best wishes for their retirement go likewise to Mrs Shepherd, who left in December, 1978, and Mrs . Douglass, who left in July, 1979 . Together with these, we thank Mrs. Jee, teacher of Domestic Science here for several years, and Mrs Gajsler, who was House Mistress to the senior boarders in the Phyllis Dence wing for two terms. This autumn we welcome to the teaching staff Mrs Collinge (Domestic Science), Miss Davis (Physical Education), Mrs Jorgensen (English) and Mrs Vernon (House Mistress to the senior boarders) . On the administrative side, we welcome Mrs . Corbin as full-time assistant secretary. Mrs. Warner, who for several years acted as part- time assistant secretary, has relinquished her office work to concentrate entirely upon teaching, a decision dictated by the expansion of the Commercial Studies department. The key post of Senior Mistress has been filled by Miss Evans . Since Miss Evans is an Old Girl of Stover, a member of the staff for many years, a former resi- dent House Mistress and a close friend and professional associate of Miss Bailey, her qualifications for this post could not be better. On the Governing Body last year three vacancies were caused by the resignations of Mrs. Key and Miss Cobham, both of whom wished to make way for new blood, and of Major Sherratt, who has returned with his wife to his home country, Canada. We thank these Governors for their splendid services to Stover, joyfully acclaiming Mrs. Key, Stover's founder Head Mistress, in her chosen role of Granny to the entire School! In their places we welcome Mrs Barling, Dr . Hewitt and Mr . Roberts. Stover's Governors arrange that each new school year is marked by an improve- ment in amenities . This autumn we have a Cookery room twice the size of the old one and beautifully equipped, an acquisition of which we are properly proud and one which we are celebrating by the inauguration of an Advanced Level course in Home Economics. To the benefit of academic work, the reorganization and restocking of the Library is proceeding apace. C. A .

Stover's Golden Jubilee, beside bringing one stage of the School's history to a triumphant conclusion, marked the beginning of a second half- century . The Whit Sunday Eucharist, which was the culmination of the Jubilee celebrations, carried the message of pentecostal renewal and was an inspiration to all present who had ears to hear. Stover goes forward in faith, encouraged by the completion of the Jubilee Hall, around which an aura of the near-miraculous is likely to linger, for it had seemed impossible that this building could be converted from dance hall to place of worship in the brief early hours of that Whit Sunday morning, yet the transformation was achieved—silently, speedily and to perfection. Throughout the Jubilee weekend, the atmosphere was that of a happy family gathering . On the Saturday, Mrs . Key, our Founder, opened the Jubilee Hall, her joy in the occasion being enhanced by the arrival from Australia of her eldest son who acted as one of his father's assistants at the Sunday Eucharist.

  • Mamhead Slipway Defence | Devon
    CASE STUDY MAMHEAD SLIPWAY East Devon District Council Exmouth, Devon, United Kingdom As part of the ongoing regeneration of facilities in Exmouth, Devon, there was a requirement to demolish and replace the existing Mamhead Slipway and adjacent boat trailer maneuvering area. The original slipway was in a poor state of repair due to tidal movement causing a reduction in bed levels which had undermined the piled foundations leaving voids beneath the concrete slipway slab. These voids made the structure unserviceable and potentially dangerous. Project owner EAST DEVON DISTRICT COUNCIL Product DURUS S400 Synthetic Macro Fibre Function DURUS S400 - Replace conventional steel mesh reinforcement to reduce construction time and eliminate reduced service life due to steel corrosion in a marine environment. Contractor Raymond Brown Construction Challenge This foundation allowed the reinforced concrete slipway to be The Environment Agency guidance for marine and coastal fully ground bearing and therefore utilise Synthetic Macro Fibre concrete requires elimination of as much traditional steel fabric as reinforcement as an effective alternative to steel mesh. practicable. Due to the water level and tidal fluctuations, works for the Owing to challanging tidal conditions and wave action, the slipway had to take place behind a cofferdam provided by engineering solution for this project needed to provide a stable interlocking sheet piles.

  • MAMHEAD St Thomas the Apostle Diocese of Exeter SX9311680805
    MAMHEAD St Thomas the Apostle Diocese of Exeter SX9311680805 The church is in a dangerous condition and no longer used as a place of worship. It occupies a fine position in mature parkland with far ranging views across the Exe estuary. 1776: ‘The rector was the Rev. William Johnson Temple…..When he was an undergraduate….he made a close friendship with James Boswell, biographer of Samuel Johnson. The chief difficulty experienced by Boswell in carrying out his literary work was inability to conquer the propensity for liquor, and so, when staying with Temple at Mamhead, he took an oath under the churchyard Yew never to get drunk again. He admitted later, that “his promise under the solemn yew was not religiously kept, because a little wine hurried him on too much”.’ Parochial Memoranda 1857: At Mamhead is a yew of twenty-nine and a half feet. Chronicles of the Tombs by Thomas Joseph Pettigrew 1859: Girth of 32' 10" at 5' given by the Rector writing his Parochial Memoranda. 1903: From a letter written by Shirley Callard's husband's great-grandfather. It confirms why the tree looks as it does today. "The outer portion of this desk was made from a portion of a yew tree now standing in Mamhead churchyard a great number of years before the top of the tree was sawn off just level, about eight feet from the ground. At that point shot up 15, I now call them trees, at and over 2 feet in diameter, they grow just close together except an opening between 2 of them, just as I could go in on the top.

  • Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis
    Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis The purpose of this document is to summarise the application process and key criteria associated with the Future High Streets (FHS) Fund, and present the potential town candidates which could form the basis of East Devon’s single Expression of Interest bid. This document has been compiled by officers across the council including planners, surveyors and economic development officers. Background The deadline for the submission of Expressions of Interest is 22 Mar 2019. There is likely to be a later opportunity to bid for the Fund as well. Initial awareness of the Fund emerged in autumn 2018 with fuller detail in December 2018 and then supplementary guidance more recently. As government has released more detailed information we have also sought clarification on what is and isn’t eligible or likely to be favoured. If we were to submit a bid for one of our established towns it should be recognised from the individual and collective analysis below that our high streets are not failing nor would those communities necessarily recognise or accept transformational intervention to solve a problem that isn’t significant i.e. replacing retail with alternative high street functions. However, it is also clear that other authorities not so different from nor far away from ours are preparing bids for some of their town centres. Government has said that it would like to see high streets across the regions benefit so it may well be willing to consider and work with bids of varying levels of under-performance to ensure a geographic spread.
