The Office of the High Sheriff

The office of High Sheriff is at least 1,000 years old, having its roots in

Saxon times. It is the oldest continuous secular office under the Crown.

Originally, the Office held many of the powers now vested in H. M. Lord

Lieutenants, High Court Judges, Magistrates, Local Authorities, Coroners

and even the Inland Revenue.

The Office of High Sheriff remained first in precedence until 1908 when

and Order in Council gave the office Lord Lieutenant primacy as the

Sovereign’s personal representative. The High Sheriff is the Sovereign’s

representative in the County for all matters relating to the Judiciary and

the maintenance of law and order and is apolitical.

The High Sheriff takes up his or her appointment of one year following a

sworn declaration, in terms dictated by the Sheriff’s Act 1887, before

the presiding Judge of the Circuit. The High Sheriff of Somerset’s

appointment takes place in Wells Cathedral every year in the month of

March.

High Sheriff’s are responsible in the counties of England and Wales for

duties conferred by the Crown through Warrant from the Privy Council

as follows:

� Protecting Her Majesty’s High Court Judges when on Circuit in the County and attending them in court during legal terms

� Working closely with the City Council, Police and emergency services, assisting whenever required

� Visiting schools, organisations, hospitals, homes for the frail, elderly and young people’s facilities when asked

� Attending at Royal visits

� Acting as the Returning Officer for Parliamentary Elections

� Proclaiming the accession of a new Sovereign

� Maintaining the loyalty of subjects to the Crown

� In Somerset, the leading role in Somerset Crimebeat

Jamie Cullum

Like the exploding piano on its cover, Jamie Cullum's long-awaited new Verve album

The Pursuit blows away audience and artist preconceptions leaving 14 smoldering

tracks that seamlessly run the gamut from swinging standards and yearning singer-

songwriter confessionals to 125 BPM house dance tracks and resurrected Broadway

ballads.

"It was the right time for me to take myself out of my comfort zone, and to push myself

to be bolder,” Cullum says of the album “I wanted to build on the things I've already

done, but I also wanted to reinvent myself.”

The Pursuit - the English singer/songwriter/pianist/multi-instrumentalist's third Verve

album, and his first in four years - is an expansive labor of love that embraces the full

range of the artist's diverse talents and far-flung musical passions. While it covers more

stylistic ground than anything he's done previously, The Pursuit's unifying threads are

the same musical fluency, emotional commitment and lyrical wit that helped to

make Cullum's prior releases Twentysomething and Catching Tales international

crossover smashes selling more than 4 million combined copies worldwide.

“I like that this album journeys from a big-band track at the start to a proggy

house/dance track at the end, because it's all me” Jamie notes. “But if the only thing

that people notice is that this album is stylistically all over the place, then I will feel I

have failed in some way.”

Silver Ring Choir

The Silver Ring Choir of Bath was founded in 1951 at Bathampton Methodist Chapel,

as founder Conductor, Kelvin Thomas MBE lived nearby. In those early days Choir

members were recruited as he went around the village knocking on doors

persuading singers to join a new Choir he had formed. From it’s earliest days the Choir

has continued to grow. This has certainly been the story of The Silver Ring Choir of

Bath. Under Kelvin’s inspirational leadership the reputation of the Choir spread and

continues to widen to this day. Kelvin Thomas was awarded the MBE for his services to

music.The Choir’s traditional values are based on its heritage. It continues to focus on

its charitable purpose: the welcoming and encouragement of new singers to mixed

voice singing for the benefit of the wider community.

Additionally, as a registered charity, thousands of pounds have been raised over the

years for good causes. The Choir has entertained audiences with its diverse and

innovative programmes. Its wide repertoire embraces music from around the world,

including songs from stage and screen, sacred works, spirituals and operatic

choruses. As well as travelling in all parts of the UK and Ireland, the Choir has also

toured in Germany, Hungary, France, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Finland, Canada,

USA, Singapore and New Zealand.

Somerset Crimebeat

What's it all about?

Somerset Crimebeat is an exciting scheme launched back in 1998 whose aim is to

give young people up to the age of 25 an opportunity to help combat crime and the

causes of crime in the community.

It is led by the current High Sheriff of Somerset and successive High Sheriffs have

also pledged their support providing valuable continuity throughout the years.

What are Crimebeat’s objectives?

• To promote a safer and improved quality of life through the prevention of

crime

• To provide young people with the opportunity to use their energy and

imagination to develop crime prevention initiatives

• To advance education amongst young people about the cause and effect of

crime, as well as the dangers of alcohol, drug and solvent abuse

What kind of projects are awarded a grant of up to £1,000?

To be eligible for a grant, your project should:

• Allow young people to tackle the problems of their community themselves

• Have sufficient adult and professional support

• Concentrate on issues of crime prevention and community safety

• Promote young people as valued members of a community which they are

taking a positive role in

• Include as many sections of the community as possible

• Empower young people with confidence and a sense of achievement

Grants are available to groups who want to be part of the solution rather than the

problem. Crimebeat ensures that such groups are responsibly led and that the

projects are suitably supervised and coordinated.

Somerset Crimebeat is supported by Avon and Somerset Constabulary, Local Authority Youth

and Community Services and The Probation Service. Registered Charity No. 1071107

Forever Friends Appeal The Forever Friends Appeal raises funds for state-of-the-art medical equipment and facilities,

over and above that provided by the NHS. We work with the Wards and Departments of the

Royal United Hospital to fundraise for major Campaigns and large or small equipment needs.

Previous appeals raised money for a new CT scanner, and the recent Space to Grow appeal

has recently built a new neo natal unit at the hospital.

The appeal could not do this without the thousands of supporters who raise funds though

fundraising, taking part in events, making donations, or simply donating their time and

volunteering.

The Royal United Hospital (RUH) is the acute district general hospital for Bath and surrounding

towns and villages in Somerset and West Wiltshire. Each year the dedicated staff at the RUH

treat and care for 30,000 in-patients and day cases, 53,000 accident and emergency patients,

plus 249,000 out-patients.

Patients receive from the NHS the best medical care that money can buy, but the NHS funding

cannot meet these ever-increasing costs for advanced equipment, and that’s where the

hospital’s charity, The Forever Friends Appeal, steps in.
