Ramblers Working Party Basic Background Details FARNHAM RAMBLERS....NEWSLETTER 68....SPRING 2016 Hello everyone – Hopefully spring is just around the corner bringing with it much improved less muddy walking conditions. As always we have a full walks programme and a number of special events during the course of the next 4 months. At the AGM I talked about trying different social activities and one such event is in this programme with a Spring coach trip to Exbury Gardens on the 30th April offering a choice of either a short walk or just enjoying the Gardens. We are exploring other activities such as a petanque evening for members. We will keep you updated. Our membership numbers continue to remain healthy but we cannot afford to be complacent. We strive to maintain and improve our profile in the local area. To this end we have confirmed our attendance at a retirement fair to be held at Farnham Maltings on 29th February and also continue the tradition of having a stand at the Bourne Show which this year is on the 16th July. More information below. Alan Buttery, Chairman Your Committee Farnham Ramblers has a policy that Committee Members serve for 3 years and then stand down. This policy ensures that your Committee has new faces each year to bring fresh thoughts and ideas to our Group. At the AGM in 2016, our Secretary, Geoff Scott is due to stand down having completed 3 years. We are now looking for potential candidates to replace Geoff. None of the Committee roles are particularly time consuming but all are vital to the continued success of Farnham Group so please put yourself forward. If you are interested in joining the Committee and want to find out more, contact any Committee Member and we can provide you with more information. Alternatively catch up with any of the Committee on a walk and have a chat about it. We are all happy to provide help and support to someone new to a role so don’t allow a concern that you would be left on your own influence your decision. Footpath Maintenance in 2016 Mid Winter is the time we run smaller Footpath Maintenance tasks involving between 2 to 6 Ramblers depending on the task in hand. January saw us working on a small Footpath 209 running between Old Park Lane and Castle Hill Farnham clearing vegetation and rebuilding steps and a hand rail. We also cleared some Vegetation from FP 181 off Crondall Lane (by John McQuinn's memorial gate) going north with the brush cutter and by hand. Then the following week we erected two waymark posts replacing rotten ones on Hankley Common. In February we shall carry out some light vegetation clearing on FP 209 in Badshot Lea and repair a hand rail on steps opposite Puttenham top common car park. We will also replace the rotted timber slat on the footbridge near High Mill Farnham so we are ticking over. Also in February we shall be carrying out a condition survey on the North Downs Way between Hinckley’s Corner by Farnham Station up to the A3 underpass. That’s 8 miles in our area. Later in February we shall have our annual meeting with Surrey county Council to agree our maintenance tasks from May onwards from our suggestions Our large maintenance task in March will be working on the North downs Way updating signage and adding additional signs where required and repairing any footpath furniture requiring attention. We will also be replacing rotten waymark posts on Puttenham Golf Course and some vegetation clearing. The North Downs Way is having a re launch on 17th March at Hinckley’s Corner, you may have noticed a large new Sculptural Sign by Hinckley’s Corner to be unveiled circa 10am. Images are being captured to map the route for Google Trekker-the off road equivalent to Google street view. The North Downs Way web site is well worth viewing. In April we are planning a large maintenance task in Pirbright which we have already surveyed and will require a number of teams working across the whole parish. Farnham Ramblers Footpath Wardens We have 19 Footpath Wardens trained by Surrey County Council and we find the reports we receive from our Wardens from their Parish or Area helps us greatly to target where Footpath Maintenance is needed. In fact our past and future tasks at NW Farnham, Badshot Lea, Puttenham Golf Course and Pirbright all came from reports from our wardens. We now have 3 future Wardens awaiting Surrey County Council Training. If you like to join our team of Wardens please contact John Plympton Tel. 01252 725661. Walk Co-ordinators Walk co-ordinators are our unsung heroes. I am pleased that Mo Cregan has agreed to take over responsibility for the Wednesday longer walks replacing John O’Donoghue so our thanks to Mo and also to John for his years of service. New Walk Leaders I would like to extend a welcome and our thanks to new walk leaders, Doreen Heddow and Maggie Ingram. Big Path Watch As guardians of the footpath network, the Ramblers wanted to find out the current state of our path network (the envy of the world) to find out what makes it great and what stops people in their tracks The formal survey came to a close at the end of the year. Thank you to the 20 or so local members who took part in the survey. Across Surrey about 70% of the available squares were surveyed and every two weeks Surrey County Council received a report from the Ramblers about the BigPathwatch updating them on the surveying that had taken place. There were over 2000 items reported to Surrey County Council. In the parishes in which the Farnham Group take a particular interest the proportion of squares surveyed and reports sent to SCC are similar to the Surrey average. There were 173 problems reported in Farnham’s squares. The path was said to be inconvenient in 138 cases. Of which 31 had difficulty finding your way, 31 the surface was flooded, muddy or potholed, 20 vegetation growth, 7 stiles, 9 intimidating animals or signs and 10 other reasons. In a further 35 cases the paths were reported to be unusable. However, in the majority of these that wer personally checked by David Ross the footprints on the ground showed that the paths were being used. The 35 problems broke down as 17 obstructions, 6 surface issues, 6 signage issues and 6 other. To provide a meaningful basis for national statistical analysis a subset of squares were identified as representative of each Highway Authority. For Surrey 472 squares fell into this category and every one of them was surveyed. The national results are awaited. Photos As stated in previous newsletters we still need you to provide those photos. Graham Noakes, our Publicity Officer is building up a database of photos. This helps him, for example as illustrations, when he is aiming to get an article about our activities published in a local newspaper or magazine. So get those smart phones out and start taking those pictures and for the time being send them to John Cregan at [email protected]. Hopefully in the near future we will be telling you how to download them and put them on the website. Also coming soon – keep an eye on the website for details of an incentive for taking and uploading those photos! COMING UP SPRING SOCIAL – Saturday March 19th. 7 o’clock prompt Our 2016 Spring Social will be held as usual at South Farnham Middle School. Our guest speaker is Dr Martin Angel of the Bourne Conservation Group.

Please arrive by 9.15 am for 9.30 am when the coach leaves Farnham from outside the Sports Centre in Dogflud Way (GU9 7UT). We will go direct to Lepe Country Park where there is a 3.5 mile walk to Exbury. Those who wish to go straight to the gardens remain on the coach which will then park up and stay at Exbury. The coach will depart Exbury at 4.30pm expecting to return to Farnham by 6.00pm. The cost is £10 p/p for the coach, payable in advance with the booking form which is attached at the end of this Newsletter. Entry to Exbury is another £10 and paid on the day.

  • Surrey Future Congestion Programme 2014
    Congestion Programme 2014 i Foreword Surrey is renowned for its strong economy and high quality environment of open countryside and historic market towns. It is a great place in which to live, work and do business. However, congestion and past lack of investment in transport infrastructure are having a negative impact on Surrey’s economic competitiveness. Managing congestion on Surrey’s roads – which are some of the busiest in the country - is urgently needed to improve traffic flow and to avoid wasting time in traffic jams and losing business through delayed journeys. Surrey Future, which brings together local authorities and businesses to agree strategic infrastructure priorities for Surrey, have developed this Congestion Programme to help ensure Surrey’s economy remains strong and that planned growth set out in local plans is managed in a sustainable way. Building on the Surrey Transport Plan Congestion Strategy (2011), it sets out a strategic programme for tackling Surrey’s road congestion problems. We consulted with a wide range of residents, businesses and organisations during 2013 on a draft version of this Congestion Programme, and a number of changes have been made to this final version as a result of the comments we received. Those who responded broadly supported the aims and approach of the programme and we will work together with businesses, Local Enterprise Partnerships, new Local Transport Bodies and Government to help deliver our programme. We would like to thank all those who responded and contributed to making this programme as relevant and up-to-date as possible. Local Transport Strategies are now being developed for each district and borough and there will be consultations on these during 2014.

    TT REPORTS 2019-20 updated on 16/03/20 Click here to view TT REPORTS INDEX 2019-20 TT No.122: Brian Buck - Saturday 14th March 2020; East Ruston v Hickling; Walcott Lighthouse Inn North East Norfolk League Division 2 Section 1; Result: 3-1; Attendance: 20 approx. With most of fixtures at Step 6 and above called off because of the dreaded Coronavirus, it was down to one of the feeder leagues to get my fix today. So, not wanting to catch anything on public transport, apart from a train or two of course, I elected to drive to my game and I picked one that is, as far, as I know, very difficult to do by public transport. It took me just over two hours to get here and the ground is adjacent to the village hall, not that they really need one, as this is a very small village. The changing rooms are wooden and here I bumped into the jovial home management team, who pointed me in the direction of the local pub. After my recent experience of paying £4 for a pulled pork roll at the Hampshire FA ground, I thought that I couldn’t do any worse here. I was wrong. The chilli con carne with pasta with garlic bread (two slices) for £4.50 looked tempting and when it arrived it tasted nice. Problem was that it came in a large coffee mug! Back at the ground I mentioned this to my ‘trip advisor’ who told me, “I forgot to tell you that the food’s not very good!" Perhaps the clue was that no one came around to ask me if I was enjoying my meal, possibly because I didn't give them time, as I ate it in a few mouthfuls! Anyway, by now we were ready to go and once the rotund ref had finished off his fag the game soon got underway.

Miscellaneous Extracts 106 2 19.3.76 INTRO: THE STOVOLD FAMILY IN SURREY I have searched many old church registers, both of Elstead and Farnham, of baptisms and marriages to trace the family history in Surrey. The name Stovold appears more than any other. I have only dealt with one branch which appears to be a direct male line. The last six generations contain the name Frederick and the dates of birth are fairly authentic. Earlier registers may refer to baptisms or dates of birth, it is not always clear. One Christian name, the same as the father’s, made things more difficult. The family could be of Scandinavian origin. It is thought they may have come over at the time of the Vikings in the Ninth Century and, in fact, before the First War my Great Uncle Percy traced the name back to the time of William the Conqueror.
