The owner says it was a terrifying ordeal. I wish I could turn the | :00:11. | :00:27. | |
clock back and it's never happened but it has. Materialism has never | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
been a key part of our lives that emphasises that people are far more | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
important. Also tonight: Staff at one of the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
region's most highly valued employers prepare to go on strike. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Workers at the Land Registry in Plymouth and Weymouth will walk out | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
later this month. And a boost for the economy as | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
thousands flock to the Isles of Scilly for the World Gig | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
Championships. A Paignton Jeweller whose shop was | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
raided by armed robbers has been describing his ordeal. Alan Boydell | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
suffered injuries to his arm as he tried to stop three masked men | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
stealing ?7,000 worth of stock in the raid last week. Our South Devon | :01:06. | :01:16. | |
reporter John Ayres has more. These are slowed down CCTV images of | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Alan trying to protect his premises. The masked men ran into his shop, | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
not the shop assistant to the ground and started taking Julie. I picked | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
up the chair to defend myself and draw them away from Shirley, and | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
driving away from the main sales area and towards me. They ran | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
straight at me into the arcade. All this time Julia spilling out of | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
their jackets and pockets. One man was detained by witnesses. Two | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
others got away in a car. Allen suffered an arm injury but he and | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
his wife will not allow this to affect their business. We knew if we | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
did not open straightaway it would be more difficult the longer we left | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
it. We had to get in straightaway. And surely Jeffrey, bless her, she | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
came back the next day and it wasn't easy, but we did. Police say the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
CCTV footage showed the men were wearing hooded tops of our weight | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
painter and decorator style overalls. They hope that by showing | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
the footage they will jog people 's memories and we are talking to DIY | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
store to see if anyone remembers people coming in and buying three of | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
these overalls. Alan and his wife have been overwhelmed by their | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
support. It is a different perspective. Materialism has never | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
been a big part of our lives but it emphasises that people are far more | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
important. One man, who is 21 from party, has been charged with robbery | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
and possession of an offensive weapon. `` 21 from Torquay. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
A strike has been called at the Land Registry, which employs nearly 900 | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
staff in Devon and Dorset. Unions are concerned about plans for the | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
privatisation of the service, which is an offshoot of the government's | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Department for Business. Our correspondent Neil Gallacher joins | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
me now. What exactly does the land Registry do? It keeps track of | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
property ownership and valuations. It runs this enormous database and | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
it is hugely valued locally as an employer. Both on the edge of | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Weymouth where it employs 250 people and in Plymouth the final 650 | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
people. This strike has been called for the 14th and 15th, what is the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
reason? The government wants to bring in a new status for the land | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Registry, and the key idea is to set up a new company which would still | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
be under government oversight by the functions of the land registry would | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
be transferred into it. The main union at the land Registry say they | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
have been pressing for assurances that they have received. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
We've been looking for reassurance from Land Registry Management that | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
there will be no compulsory redundancies, no office closures and | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
no major outsourcings of our work. We have asked for that several times | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
since June, management refused to give us those assurances and as such | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
we can only think that they are planning to do some or all of those | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
things. Is this action likely to have the major impact? There are few | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
weeks left of clocks. The land Registry tool is today that it will | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
continue to engage with the unions this year they can prevents the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
industrial action. They say we will endeavour to ensure there is minimal | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
disruption to the services that we offer to professional customers and | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
the public. There are warnings that mine shafts | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
up to 100 feet deep on Dartmoor have been weakened by severe weather and | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
could collapse. The National Park Authority says it's aware of some | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
incidents where wood and stone used to cover the shafts have been | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
weakened and fallen in. Chris Ellis reports. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Dartmoor was mined for generations and capped tin mines hidden beneath | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
the surface are what is left behind. This hole appeared last week and has | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
since been fenced off to keep people and livestock away. Hundreds of | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
covered mine shafts are thought to be scattered across the moor. This | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
map shows the extent of the mining which has built up over generations. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
For ramblers there are some key signs to look out for. A mine shaft | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
is like a well, so typically there will be a surface depression, very | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
often surrounded by, if it is not fenced, surrounded by the remains of | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
a low wallm a little bit like a doughnut shape. `` the remains of a | :05:44. | :05:53. | |
low wall. You will often see a waste mound beside it. Just don't go down | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
these hollows. The National Park Authority says there is no need to | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
panic. Just the word mining means potential danger, and there are | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
risks attached to everything. The important thing here is to come out | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
with your map, look at your map and when you see the word mining or | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
shaft just take extra care. The Duchy of Cornwall which owns about | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
one third of the land on the moor says that the main shaft areas are | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
inspected and fenced off. It added collapses are rare and when they | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
happen the Duchy act immediately. In the last ten years the Park | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Authority said up to 15 mine shafts have collapsed and been fenced off. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
In the past ponies and she had been rescued from the shafts. Chris Ellis | :06:30. | :06:42. | |
BBC Spotlight. And you can read more about that | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
story on the BBC Devon news website. Conservationists claim rare fish may | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
have been damaged by dredging around Devonport Dockyard. Experts are | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
worried that conservation areas are not being properly enforced. | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Spotlight's Environment Correspondent Adrian Campbell | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
reports. This small fish it at the centre of | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
a big dispute. Smelt are rare and they are found within an area of the | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
dockyard in Plymouth that is protected by a new marine | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
conservation zone and what is known as a Special Area of Conservation. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Despite this protection it is being claimed that dredging carried out | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
earlier this year by this ship, the MV Causeway, may have disrupted the | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
smelt when they were spawning. Julie Elworthy is a local environmental | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
campaigner. It is a very important issue. The smelt is a protected | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
species but it is not being protected in our estuary. Devonport | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
acts as a Channel for smelt that are thought to spawn around February and | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
March but some studies have shown dredging and poor water quality can | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
act as a barrier to the fish. They are very sensitive to pollution, for | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
example in the Thames estuary they were one of the most common fish in | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
the 19th century and everyone was eating them and catching them, but | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
as soon as the pollution problem started within the system then they | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
disappeared quite quickly. Devon wildlife trust says the special area | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
of conservation in Plymouth needs to be enforced. Areas like this one | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
enjoyed a great deal of legal protection. It has taken us a long | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
time to get to this stage. That protection must have teeth and these | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
places must be monitored and we must make sure that this protection is | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
meaningful. Natural England advises about the impact of dredging on | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
smell. It changed its advice about when dredging could take place. It | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
said its understanding improved after meeting the dredging company | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
and learning more about the way it would work. It says it also received | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
further advice from an expert that smelt were likely to be north of the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
dredging area at the time. The Ministry of defence told us it | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
acknowledges the findings of the investigation. It says it is | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
satisfied its contractors acted appropriately as soon as the issues | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
became apparent and have cooperated fully with the investigation. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Dredging around Devonport remains controversial, Adrian joined me in | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
the studio earlier to discuss some new developments around the issue. | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
The machine management organisation is the body that regulates what goes | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
on at sea. It follows that there were two breaches of licences to the | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
dredging company. One involved a safety at sea, they did not get | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
enough notice to other shipping in the area at a McCain and dredging | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
and the other one which is significant is there should have | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
been no disposal at the disposal site for hours before high tide. Why | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
is that significant? Because silk, it had come from the dockyard, make | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
a dent on the table and spread the Marine conservation zone in the area | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
and that would have been bad for conservation. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
As anything happened as a result of this? | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
The marine management organisation could have had this before the | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
courts and ask them to do something about it. There could have been a | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
fine of up to ?50,000 or imprisonment. In the end they sent | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
this letter to the dredging company, a formal warning telling them not to | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
do this again. The conservationists have said this is not enough. This | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
issue has become incredibly controversial, hasn't it? | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Yes, it is controversial in the conservationists say that we have | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
the zones of protected areas at sea, if we want to put that we care about | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
these things and we must enforce them. | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Since the 1990's more than a billion pounds has come to Cornwall from the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
European Union. But has that money been spent wisely and would the | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
county have received the same level of help from the British Government? | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Well in the run up to the European Elections, our Political Editor has | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
been in Strasbourg to take a closer look at the EU's finances and how it | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
spends its money. The EU's budget is often assumed to be as monumental as | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
its official buildings. Until last year it certainly had a tendency to | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
keep going up. Now it is actually coming down for the first time in | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
its history, thanks to pressure from countries including Britain. Even | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
with the 6% reduction, the EU's budget for this year is around ?118 | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
billion, less than one sixth of the UK's annual expenditure. When you | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
look at the money that comes back to member states there are two major | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
areas of expenditure. One huge area of spending is agriculture and rural | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
development. That means payments to farmers. And in case you hadn't | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
noticed, there's a farmer or two in the south west. The EU is also a big | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
spender when it comes to economic development. Devon and Somerset have | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
both done well out of that, but the EU has really rolled out the red | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
carpet for Cornwall. The Eden Project received ?16 million, about | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
?70 million has been invested in a university for Cornwall and ?53 | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
million has gone towards rolling out superfast broadband. In total | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Cornwall has received around ?1 billion since the late 90s. It has | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
secured another half ?1 billion between now and 2020. So a fair | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
amount of money in anybody's book, but not everybody agrees that this | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
is all blue skies and starlight. First of all the projects for which | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
they are, for which the European funding goes to must be approved at | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
the European Union level and secondly the funding has to be. `` | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
had to be matched. So it is very restricted, it is not a wonderful | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
sort of, there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Actually, a | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
lot of the money that is spent through those sort of funds goes in | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
the directions of things we don't consider positive development, so | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
recently ?44 million was spent building a second airport for | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Walsall, using European money. As Greens we question of whether those | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
large`scale infrastructure development actually make sense when | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
you buy a whole is trying to reduce its carbon emissions. The Tories' | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
lead candidate like UKIP says ideally this funding should not have | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
been the gift of the EU at all. Brussels take a lot of money from | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Britain and hand back some of it and says to Cornwall and other parts of | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
the United Kingdom, you should be grateful to the EU. We are only | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
getting back part of what we get. I think it would be much better if we | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
get. I think it would be much better in regional policy was repatriated | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
to the member states, so in other words the parliament in Westminster | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
decides how much we spend on those things. But while the money has | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
undoubtedly slowed down to Cornwall from the EU, with the British | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
government of any complexion knew we have matched the EU 's largess? I | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
actually don't believe that it is likely Cornwall would get that | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
money. That same level of support from a national government. The | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
investments that Cornwall gets is very specific to the issue is that | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
there are in Cornwall and I think that actually is where the European | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
Union has a vital role to play. I think people know that we would get | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
far less support if we were left under national governments than we | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
do from the European Union. Particularly in Cornwall because | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
Cornwall has an average per capita income of less than three quarters | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
of the European Union average so qualifies for just about every guy | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
in the book. Poorer countries joining the EU should theoretically | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
threaten Cornwall's claim to this money. However, it is testimony to | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
just how poor Cornwall is that alongside Sicily and Transylvania | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
has seen off most of southern and eastern Europe in the poverty | :14:28. | :14:40. | |
stakes. Firefighters in the south west are | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
back on duty this evening after a national strike. Members of the Fire | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Brigades' Union walked out from 12 noon till five. It's the latest | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
action in an ongoing dispute over pensions. The government says | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
firefighters have one of the most generous schemes in the public | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
sector. Further strikes are planned over the weekend. | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
Efforts to restore a 5,000 year old Cornish monument reached a crucial | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
phase today. Carwynnen Quoit near Camborne collapsed in the 1960s. But | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
work to lift and place granite stones in to position means it's | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
almost back to its former glory. John Danks sent this report. This is | :15:13. | :15:25. | |
what it takes today to shift the huge granite stones that formed the | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
likes of Carwynnen Quoit. It is hard to imagine the effort required in | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the Neolithic times. It is heavy work but needs to be precise. It is | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
going well, we are relying heavily on our expert team of structural | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
engineers and the guys who are moving the stones and it seems to be | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
going very well to plan. We are using some of the ancient | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
photographs, the all photographs we have the guide us to make the | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
monumental work as authentic as possible. One of those watching | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
today was Paul Williams. He took this picture of Carwynnen Quoit in | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
1955 when he was 11 years old. It is quite impressive to have gone up, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
when my father told me it had fallen down in 1967I thought it would never | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
go up again. I am quite pleased that it has gone up again. These sort of | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
monuments car in various parts of the country. We can assume that in | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the Neolithic period this was put up several thousand years ago. Probably | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
to contain burial or at least mark a very important part of the | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
landscape. Escalation of the site and sit in the area has unearthed | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
artefacts including flint arrows in the stone pestle. The monument which | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
was once used as a gathering point for the community is starting to | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
fulfil that role again. Is the only one in the area. We have plenty in | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
West can rest but this area has lost so much with the organisation that | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
are doing something with this are doing something with this | :17:03. | :17:03. | |
ancient monument. May be the operator imposition of VAT needs to | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
happen next is for this name and a half`time capstone to be placed on | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
top. And that will happen on the 21st of June. | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
Onto the sport and speedway in Plymouth may close if attendance | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
figures don't improve soon. That's the warning the Plymouth Devils | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
promoters are sending out as crowds have dropped alarmingly. Well, | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Dave's at the St Boniface Arena for us this evening. Hello. Sorry for | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
the noise. I do not know why I am apologising, this is part of | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
speedway. There are worries all round by the promoters and the | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
riders and staff alike of dwindling attendances. They have dropped | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
substantially since the be opened here eight years ago. Joining me is | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
the team manager and the team captain. First of all, when it | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
reopened here it was in excess a wave. You are getting thousands to | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
the gate. Why have been dropped off so much? Obviously I guess the | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
support is waning because the interest has gone but I don't see | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
why the interest should go. It is a great sport and it is the only | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
professional sport in the summer months in Plymouth. Everybody who | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
sees it I am sure will come back to it. How do you get them back to the | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
gate? Just by getting advertising. TV will help. We will get on the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
radio and get everyone out there and just tell people that Plymouth | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
speedway is here and once they see it I am sure they will, watch it. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
Returning to Cornwall, Ben Barker, you are very highly thought of. You | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
are back here at Plymouth. At the local boy has a surprise to the | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
attendances have dropped? Definitely. We don't have a track in | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
Cornwall so I was hoping to bring supporters up from there. I know | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
some do, but it is not enough. It is a sport we want to keep in Plymouth | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
and we need more support. We used to have Exeter Falcons Raid ready rugby | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
team used to play. They were infected and did not find a suitable | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
site to race again. This is the only speedway team in Devon and Cornwall. | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
That is what I'm saying. There is no Cornwall or anything else in | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Crawley, so it is a shame that the people have not come here. I hope | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
they are wanting to and can relate their fire and passion for the | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
sport. What is your even attendance figure? We are in the 650 or 700 | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
mark. We are currently about 200 people sure of that. When people | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
come down and see what an exciting race we have here, it is a very good | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
product that we deliver. How long can you see speedway surviving? We | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
will be here for the duration of the season and for years to come. We are | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
working as much as we can believe we will still in Plymouth in the | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
receiving future. Thank you. Best of luck, then. Racing starts at 7:15pm. | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
If Exeter Chiefs don't beat Harlequins in their final | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
Premiership rugby match of the season at Sandy Park on Sunday, and | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
if Wasps beat Newcastle Falcons, their chances of reaching a play`off | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
qualifier for next seasons European Cup will disintegrate. Conversely, | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Quins still have eyes on the top four and a consequent play`off for | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
the Premiership title. Chiefs finish their campaign at Newcastle next | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
Saturday. The final day of the Football League | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
season tomorrow sees nothing at stake for the South West teams. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Yeovil Town hope to end their year's stint in the Championship, by | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
beating Middlesbrough at Huish Park. If Wycombe Wanderers fail to beat | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Torquay United at Plainmoor, they'll accompany the Gulls in non`league | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
football next season. Exeter City, now safe from relegation, and | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
Plymouth Argyle sign off at Hartlepool and Portsmouth | :21:06. | :21:24. | |
respectively. Finally, if you can hear me! Sends good, but we have to | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
see every car needed. Finally, there's lots of cricket | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
going on over the Bank Holiday. On Sunday, Somerset try to maintain | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
their solid start to the new season against Nottinghamshire at Taunton | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
in the County Championship. At Truro, Cornwall and Devon lock horns | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
in the Minor Counties one`day group stages also on Sunday. What did he | :21:47. | :22:00. | |
say? I did not catch that! Should be do the rest of the sport like that? | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
The 25th World Pilot Gig Championships are getting underway | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
on the Isles of Scilly amid serious travel delays. Crews from around | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Europe are converging on the islands but fog has created a backlog of | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
flights. Organisers of the Gig Championships have told us the | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
veterans races will take place this evening, even if some crews aren't | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
there to take part. They've told us at least 600 people travelling to | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
the championships are still stranded on the mainland. Hannah stacey has | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
sent his report. Originally these wooden boats used | :22:24. | :22:52. | |
to take pilot at the sailing ship. They were also used as lifeboats but | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
today it is a very different kind of competition. We are joined by Norma | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
Edwards from the horrible high with the association. This event started | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
25 years ago when the Isles of Scilly decided they would invite | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
people from the mainland to come over and race them and have a | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
social, basically. There was making boats on the star claimed that they | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
are that weekend. 25 years later we are the 140 or more boats on the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
stifling stop the sport grows and grows that everyone loves coming to | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
Scilly. University in that first year of the event? Yes, we were | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
going down and are rolling now. We were one of the founding clubs in | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
the area. The sport has grown so much, it is amazing to see so many | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
superb boats rolling here today. One of the main talking point so far has | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
been the serious travel delays experienced by some of the crews | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
trying to get over. Flights have been delayed by an entity one half | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
hours and from Newquay by owned an hour and a half. Now the Isles of | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Scilly steamship company has told us they are trying to catch up on these | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
flights and that it has an extension until around 8pm this evening to do | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
that. Should the weather deteriorate inmates not be able to get all of | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
the crew members over here from the mainland. | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
Thank you very much. The question is, will the naked? Doesn't look any | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
better, David? `` will they make it? | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
The cloud has lifted. Good evening. Holiday weekend approaching and the | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
weather is going to be kind to us. It could be disappointed with cloudy | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
at pains and that is the story this weekend. We will have real trouble | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
trying to track down when we will get breaks of the sunshine coming | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
out. In the meantime rather cloudy and briefly some sunshine. The | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
sunshine mainly confined to the east. Both these are quite cloudy, | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
11 and 12 the top temperature. No rough seas and the winds coming from | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
the South or Southeast and able be around three or four on both days | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
and so good rolling conditions if you can get there. The cloud around | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
today has been struggling to break and is still across as for the | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
moment. That will be a worry into Saturday because we could see it | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
around for a good part of the day. It is a weather system that does not | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
want to move away. The cloud is thicker with a spot of Windows Vista | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
on this evening and overnight tonight. And to tomorrow we have a | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
strand of patchy rain into the Western Isles of Scilly and by the | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
time we get into Sunday that will pull away. Hopefully we get some | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
sunny spells on Sunday as well as bank holiday Monday. By the end of | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
the day on bank holiday Monday the happy change coming in from the | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
west. That is a weather front bringing rain on Monday night and | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
into Tuesday. The detail for this evening and overnight, a lot of | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
cloud that will be struggling to clear out of the way and it may be | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
sick enough for the odd bit of drizzle. Expect a cloudy evening, a | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
mild one and if you do see any credence at all that will be a part | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
`` cross a part of Somerset and Dorset. Low temperatures of five or | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
six. As for tomorrow, everywhere will see a lot of cloud at least for | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
the morning. The patchy drizzle and have in the West will feed and the | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
best of the sunshine will be east Devon, Dorset and Somerset and the | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Channel Islands. It will be relatively mild, temperatures of 213 | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
or 14 degrees. It will be cooler on the coast and for the Isles of | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Scilly it will be 13 degrees. Kinds of high water at Maidenhead that'll | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
be named a.m., Falmouth at 8:31pm in Saint Mary 's at 8:01am. For the | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
surfers, the server is not huge this weekend, it will pick up next week. | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
`` the surface is not huge. That is the coastal waters forecast, the | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
winds mainly from the south or Southeast with occasionally for and | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
in the Isles of Scilly, there was good usability. The promise of dry | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
weather for the holiday weekend, as I mentioned a lot of cloud so it | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
will be tricky to get breaks in the cloud. All in all not too bad. Have | :27:28. | :27:34. | |
a nice weekend. There will be extensive coverage of the world ten | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
the Mac Championships. `` world gig Championships. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :28:05. | |
Men are even less tolerant of women than they were before. | :28:06. | :28:07. |
