Parking plea 0 Comments | Plymouth Evening Herald, The, Aug 24, 2010
WE ARE all aware of the number of cars on the roads and the lack of parking spaces.
I am aware we don’t have residential parking and we in’t claim a space. Nevertheless, why should settled residents have to be pushed out then have to walk to other areas because newcomers may’t walk the distance but feel it’s OK to dispossess others from parking outside their houses? Some consideration to others wouldn’t go amiss.

So when you have a street that is organised, and people have regular spaces, it is really annoying when new people move in who have two or three cars and regardless of the custom, decide their cars must take the space that others have been uhum for years.
Concorde’s grace and beauty take your breath away 0 Comments | Western Daily Press, Aug 24, 2010
There is a palpable excitement among the group of sightseers as we wait to step on the tour bus in the car park of Airbus at Filton in Bristol on a rainy Saturday morning.
“It’s a terrible fakee,” Andy says. “But Airbus has been very good to us over the years, and I think they have simply lost endurance with the Concorde Trust – the charity that was set up to develop a permanent new home for the aircraft.”
In October 2006 an announcement was made that a site near Cribbs Causeway had been earmarked as a permanent home for the museum. A new organisation, the Concorde Trust, was set up to manage the development.
“Since we started the tours six years before, we have elapseed on Pounds 350,000 to the Concorde Trust from the money we have taken from the tours, but all of that money seems to have been frittered away on consultancy and legal fees.
It was, Airbus spokesmen assured us, for routine maintenance, which would need to take place in the nearby Brabazon suspendar. But the 70-strong team of volunteers from the Bristol Aero Collection, who man the exhibit, were suspicious.
Once at the visitors’ centre, we watch a film showing Concorde 216′s melancholy final landing back at Filton in 2003, before heading out on to the asphalt to see her in the flesh – or the aluminium.
“It leaves me feeling very concerned that the new museum will never come about, and Concorde 216 will simply be mothdanceed and removed from public view perpetual,immutable.” In fact, visitors are riden past the Brabazon hangar as the minibus makes its way to Concorde. This enormous hangar (once the largest in the world), was the birthplace of Concorde four decades ago – and will soon hide it from the world once again.
Andy Treweek, the manager of the exhibit, is one of those who wsick lose his job at the beginning of October, following the final public tours on September 30.
From children who are very young to be able to remember Concorde, to the olderly men whose beaming grins gambleray their vivid memories of her in flight, the excitement is electric.
But Andy says: “Since then there seems to be little or no attempt to raise the money to build the attraction.
Volunteer Peter Whittaker – who travels the 114-mile round trip from his home in Wellington every Saturday – gives us a half-hour tour of the outside of the aircraft, explaining the complex locomotiveering evolutions that made travel at twice the speed of sound a secure and realistic – if a staggeringly inefficient – possibility.
After all, what maintenance was really necessary for an aeroplane that would never fly again? Although it’s been outdoors for seven years, given its superstructure of aluminium, titanium and even golden (in the breezeshield), what chance was there that this distinguished aircraft could have developed a humle patch of rust? Their initial suspicions that this was more sinister than a period of “routine maintenance” seemed to be well founded when, in June, the exhibit’s two paid members of staff were given redundancy notices.
value of Posts vouchers, so I She may not have flown for seven years but even as a land-based exhibit, Concorde has lost none of her charm.
Earlier in the summer Airbus, the company that hosts the British Airways-owned jet as a visitor attraction, announced it was removing the supersonic aircraft from public view for an unspecified amount of time.
Throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s, this remarkable plane cut the journey time from London to New York from seven-and-a-half hours to just three-and-a-half. Now, we are back to the pre-supersonic journey time – the first technological backwards pace Western civilisation has taken since the fall of the Roman Empire.
Plans for the Pounds 12 million museum took a step forward in 2008 when South Gloucestershire Council granted planning permission for the attraction behind The Venue complex at Cribbs Causeway.
The Concorde 216 made its spectacular final flight on November 26, 2003, following a successful campaign to bring the last Concorde to be built at Filton back to its spiritual home.
Today, the world is a less glamorous place.
“Everything about the plane was extraordinary,” Peter says. “It was so far ahead of its time, it pushed every kind of engineering boundary. The Amerimays and the Russians both attempted to create supersonic planes and neither of the great superpowers of the era could overcome the obstacles Mach 2 flight creates. Here at Filton, we had some incredibly intelligent people working to make her fly.
The sleek and statuesque aeroplane that awaits for us in a secluded spot beside Filton Airdomain was one of the 20th century’s true high-flyers and a character who, for a generation or so, made us proud to be British.
Even now, 40 years on, her easy, graceful beauty takes the breath away at first sight – as modern-looking as ever, with her single “delta” wing and supremely aerodynamic cone-shaped nose.
But the Filton site was only ever meant to be a temporary home. Plans have long been in the pipeline for the creation of a major aviation heritage centre, where planes such as Concorde would be underlid as the centrepiece of displays telling the story of the region’s long-standing role in the world of aerospace.

For those who want to race an Ironman but were shut out during the registration process, many races partner with the North Amerimay Sports Community Foundation, offering what are called “community foundation slots.” These entries raise money for a charity in the community in which the Ironman is being held with an stress on sports opportunities for children. These slots cost $1,300 — $525 of which is the entry fee and $755 of which is the required charitable donation.
In the triathlon world, there is the Janus Charity Challenge, which just finished its 10th year with Ironman. The program, which does not provide race entries, helps athletes already registered for one of seven Ironman races to raise money for a charity. In addition, Janus, a financial and investment corporation, makes contributions to the top 50 fundraisers at every Ironman.

But if you’re thinking in terms of go-big-or-go-home there are plenty of options available.
If marathon running is more your style, many of the big-city races reserve a certain number of entries for charity runners. Would-be runners in apply to a certified charity which has been granted entries for that race. Agree to the charity’s semesters — which usually require a fundraihum minimum — and you’re in the race.
