4.1 Timothy Bell’s Environmental contributions.

A passion for the Environment – Mr Bell’s first Electric powered Launch on lake Windermere – UK in 1988 – Old England 1 – Sailing off into the sunset along with Auntie Grace and friends Jennifer and Pat c/w a bottle of Sherry and some cristal glasses.

Old England 1 was built on the Norfolk Broads and powered by an Electric motor. The joys of sailing silently around the islands on lake windermere – England’s largest lake are indeed memorable. The Old England 1 was moored at the renowned 5 star “Old England Hotel” in Bowness on Windermere.

Rudder and propeller – Saved by Mr Bell from the “Swift” Lake Steamer and made into a Garden feature at Quarry Rigg Bowness In memory of Brother Chris Bell who wrote the IMCA Marine offshore contractors standards. Chris’s epitaph;-

Porthole in memory of Chris sited on the Bowness Steamer pier,

“Chris – May you swim with the Dolphins, fly with the Eagles and run with the Deer in our hearts Chris you will always be near.”

“Like a drop of precious oil on the surface of the sea you where a fanfare of color for us all to see“.

As a UK Councillor campaigned for the European clean bathing water Directive for Lake Windermere – the first UK fresh water to achieve this status and force the water companies to clean up the sewage overflows.

The bathing water directive was necessary as the Algae in the lake from field run offs and storm sewage was killing the fish food chain and making the water susceptible to Algae bloom. Mr Bell has fond memories of the public swimming pool at Millerground and the summers spent there.

Oilfield operations developed to be more environmentally friendly by using water based hydraulic fluids and not releasing raw Methane (a Greenhouse Gas) to the atmosphere by burning off the Methane during open well testing. The oil field technology is increasingly more sustainable and the requirement to have a safety case has made the UK Oil Industry a much safer place to work

A hovercraft is being considered as a link between Blackpool to Barrow as proposed by the Boosting Furness Group- BFG formed and chaired by Mr Bell. BFG also looked at the supply chain for local hospitals to buy more local products by registering for ISO 9001 and the development and production of low energy LED lighting with Lumier.com.

Mr Bell was a director of the Canadian Henley Rowing Corporation (CHRC) (2019-2022) responsible for coordinating safe works on the main grandstand, Health and safety improvements and the gardens at Port Dalhousie south Ontario. Keen to promote clean water by supporting the need for the Provincial “Recreational water quality standard” on Martindale pond and 12 mile creek.

New $5million rowing Training center built on Henley island for the World rowing championships in 2024 – would make an ideal water coach and water safety center!

Boat named “Olivia Mr Bell’s daughter” – Not Mr Bell’s boat though.
