February 2015

A sudden crisis such as an illness,

family breakup, death, benefit delay or
redundancy can leave people unable to
feed themselves and their families.
Such situations can quickly deteriorate,
sometimes leading to relationship
breakdown, housing loss, crime and health problems.
The Foodbank gives three days of emergency food to individuals and families.

Roys of Bowthorpe donated 300 worth of food to the

Norwich Food Bank recently.
A collection point has been held in the store since October 2011 for
customers to donate food products to Norwich Food Bank which serves the
area of Greater Norwich - the city and surrounding areas out to
Wymondham, Loddon and all in between. During this time the collection
point has seen 7.7 tonnes of food donated. This volume of food would feed
1,034 people with an average food box weighing 7.5kg.
Roys of Bowthorpe have donated an additional 300 worth of food in
conjunction with Kelloggs to help local people in crisis. Kelloggs published a
report on the use of food banks in which they found that a number of
teachers were noticing visible signs of weight loss amongst children,
following the school holidays - historically, August is Norwich Food Banks
busiest time for referrals when family finances are stretched, often to
breaking point.

Food being donated on Friday 23rd January 2015

Hannah Worsley (Norwich Foodbank Acting Project Manager) explains that

everyone who uses the Food Bank must be assessed by a care professional
or agency who can then make a referral while they support and deal with the
clients crisis situation. If the Food Bank can deal with the issue of hunger,
this then gives the care agency more time to resolve the crisis. In 2014
9,474 people were fed by Norwich Foodbank.
Hannah says Were very grateful for the support of Roys at Bowthorpe and
their customers for their ongoing commitment to helping local people in
need.

Councillors Report
Here we are again at the start of a New Year. It has been very pleasant,
though cold, meeting with residents and talking about our community. One
thing comes through very clearly as we talk, people have a sense of
community in the three villages. They watch out for their neighbours,
putting out or wheeling back our recycle and refuse bins where some cant
quite manage (or sometimes forget) to helping to spread grit from the bins
when needed.
We were appreciative of this community spirit ourselves not long before
Christmas. Our dogs were outside while we were getting the house ready
for the festive season. It was windy and our side gate blew open. The
dynamic duo were soon out in the darkness, exploring. Luckily a young lad
on his way home from work at Roys saw them and caught Phoebe. His
family took her in and phoned us. We were so grateful for the care and
community spirit they showed.
Most residents will be aware that the residential care home and dementia
village in Three Score (just off Cloverhill Rd) is well underway. In the not
too distant future the roads and services will be put in and the first council
homes in well over twenty years will begin construction. This should be
followed by the building of homes by private builders too. Though I should
say there will still be plenty of open space for exercise and walking.
As your Councillors, we try to get down every street about twice a year to
find out about residents concerns. It is a big task and we are out most
weeks of the year. Where things arise as well as contacting us, you can
also make enquiries or complaints online or by phone direct to City Council
Councillor Mike Sands

Wendene Norwich NR5 9HA
non emergency Tel: 101
lesteraj1@norfolk.pnn.police.uk
In this issue of the Bowthorpe News, I have chosen to talk about the
Norfolk Special Constabulary. As a serving Police Officer I regularly
work alongside my Special Constabulary colleagues and I witness on a day
to day basis the invaluable service they provide to the community.
Becoming a Special Constable gives individuals the chance to learn more
about policing and show your community that they care. It allows them to
meet new people, enjoy new experiences and learn new skills, not to
mention discovering new things about themselves.
The Special Constabulary within Norfolk is a body of volunteers who assist
their regular colleagues. Volunteers are drawn from the communities served
by Norfolk Constabulary. They perform duties and exercise powers under the
supervision of, and supported by, their full- time colleagues. Specials are
expected to achieve and maintain a level of proficiency, which will enable
them to help our full-time officers solve local policing problems and thereby
enhance the overall effectiveness of Norfolk Constabulary. In short, Special
Constables are a clear demonstration of the partnership between the police
and the public.
Should you wish to be a Special Constable you must be over 18
years. There is no upper age limit although the normal retirement age for
Special Constables is 65 years but that can be extended. You must be either
a Citizen of the European Economic Area, a Commonwealth citizen or have
the right of indefinite stay in the UK or a citizen of the Irish Republic; be in
good health and able both physically and mentally to perform the duties of a
police officer once appointed; be of good character, and either live or work
within the county of Norfolk. There are no height restrictions and all
applicants must meet the force eyesight standards.
If you would like further information about the role of a Police Special and to
obtain an application pack, please contact the Recruitment team (Norfolk
and Suffolk) by telephoning 01473 613589 or email
specialsrecruitment@norfolk.pnn.police.uk, alternatively you can download
an information pack from the Norfolk Constabulary website.

Main Service 10 : 30 am Sundays

Sunday Evening Service Usually 6 : 30 pm Check on website
Wednesday 10 am Service of Holy Communion and Healing
Last month across the UK many people made it `dry January, a month of no
alcohol after the excesses of Christmas. I think this is a great idea, for it is
good to discover that we can live without the need for alcohol. Of course,
giving up something for a period of time is not new. For centuries many
Christians have gone through the season of Lent having given up all kinds of
things, from chocolate or alcohol to Facebook or television. Lent is the fortyday period from Ash Wednesday (18 February) to Easter (5 April).
In a culture where we have the shrine of the golden arches and the pizza
temple, this giving up, or fasting, can seem out of place. However, I wonder
whether the idea of self-denial is not needed more than ever before. Our 21 st
century culture is fixed on not simply having things but on having them now!
Just think of the rise and rise of Amazon! Everything at a click of a button.
We are encouraged to buy now rather than save, to buy it on credit and
have it immediately. Our obsession with the instant can be seen throughout
our culture, from fast food and instant messaging to downloads of music,
books and films. Whatever it is we want, we want it now.
Yet I wonder whether there is something unhealthy about this demand for
the instant. Not all good things come instantly. For example, we cannot play
a musical instrument, learn a new language or train a young puppy instantly.
These things take time but bring great benefits.
Lent also gives us the opportunity to stop, wait and listen to God. This may
also be something that is difficult at first, but definitely worthwhile! Will you
be still for a few moments and let God speak to you through this verse from
the Bible?
Bible verse for February: `Be still and know that I
am God (Psalm 46:10).
Every blessing,
Revd Mark Elvin.

At our first meeting of 2015 we heard

about the work of the FoodBank and how they help out
families in times of need. Many members brought food items to donate to
this worthy cause. These were added to the saved tins that we had
decorated as part of our Christmas party.
We have an exciting programme of events for the year in which the WI is
celebrating it's centenary. Many of these will be open to non-members, or
women who aren't members yet! Details of all forthcoming events can be
found on Bowthorpe WI website.
We meet at Bowthorpe Church Centre on the first Monday of the month at
7.30pm. The WI is non religious and non political and any women would be
made most welcome if coming for a visit. On 2nd February we'll be hearing
about the King of the Norfolk poachers and in March we'll be having a go at
making a piece of stained glass.

THE UNSEEN ENEMY.

By Dave Rugen 2015.

It strikes without notice,

Its effects can be unseen.
It is the covert enemy
That medics cannot
screen.
It hits you like a mallet,
It cuts you like a knife.
It is the unseen enemy,
That messes with your
life.
It is the unseen illness,
That most like to ignore.
Its not a broken arm or
leg, a pain, or something
sore.
You sit alone and suffer,
Help seems far away.
It dulls all your emotions,
Some friends no longer
stay.
It is a King of illness,
Guilt and hopelessness
may reign.
You push away your
loved ones,
Who may help to ease the
pain.
For one in four of people,
Despite their class or
wealth;
It takes away their logic
And destroys their mental
health.
So what is the solution?
The medics try to cope.
We need more
recognition
And then there may be
hope.

Leyham Court

Hello Everyone
With another Christmas passed and yes, the savvy savers are already
saving up for the next one! But If youre left pondering how to make savings
as well as keeping your budget in balance, then why not start and make
savings on your phone bill by Saying No To 0870.
Say No To 0870.com is a free website which offers an alternative to those
expensive premium rated telephone numbers as used by some shops,
organisations & companies. Its aim is to offer an alternative 0800 free phone
number or at least a normal landline number.
So this is how it works: just enter http://www.saynoto0870.com/ in to your
browser
or Simply Google: Say No To 0870 no need to log on, its totally free.
If you have a premium number you want to search, simply enter it in to the search
box named: Please enter a phone number to search and hopefully you will strike it
lucky and find a free phone or normal landline number. Alternatively if you dont have
a number, just type in the name of the shop/company/organisation you want to
search into the other box named: Please enter a Company Name to search
for and your number/s will appear.
The site is reliant on the good nature of the public who send in free phone numbers
that are not yet listed on the site, so over the years it has grown to be a very large
data base and the success rate is now quite high. Its a good idea to copy your free
phone numbers into your phone book for future use.

Upcoming events at Leyham Court: 2pm Friday 27th

February the Air Ambulance Service will be giving a
talk, which is then followed by afternoon tea. Visitors are
most welcome.
Happy days!

ASHWELL COURT
Well, after all the feverish card writing, shopping and other preparations for
Christmas, it is, once again, all over for another year. We hope you all had a lovely
Christmas and that 2015 will prove to be an excellent year.
At Ashwell Court we did our best to celebrate as traditionally as possible. The hall
was beautifully decorated by a few residents, including a lovely Christmas tree and
we ate many enjoyable Christmas meals there.
The Ashwell Court Christmas dinner started the procedures and was followed in the
evening by great entertainment by Barry Tone, a real Elvis Presley look-alike, who
dances, sings and wriggles his hips in the true Elvis fashion.
The following week saw us again eating Christmas fare, at the luncheon club
Christmas Lunch. We had a large Christmas raffle with the money raised going to
charity. The festivities continued with a very enjoyable Christmas coffee morning.
Finally several of us joined with our Bradecroft friends for a delicious Christmas meal
at The Butchers Arms at East Ruston.
Several of us went to Bowthorpe Church to sing Carols by Candlelight before
Christmas. Some of us have joined the Community Choir and thoroughly enjoyed
singing at this event.

After all these celebrations settling down to normal life has been a little
difficult. However we are looking forward to 2015 and a new and exciting
programme. We have also returned enthusiastically to the routine of
exercising twice a week very necessary after the indulgences at
Christmas.
The Luncheon Clubs continue to prosper, with the
numbers increasing weekly for the very good value
meals. These are beautifully cooked and at only 5
for two courses and coffee or tea, represent
excellent value for money. All are welcome to join
us on Tuesday and/or Thursday at 12.30 for these
delicious meals just the thing in this cold weather.
All of us at Ashwell Court send best wishes for the New Year to all our
friends and neighbours.
Bye for now.

In Bowthorpe we have many rather wonderful natural assets.

Flanking Chapel Break just off the New Road to Bawburgh is Charter
Wood, planted by the community in the 1990s with a wide range of
native trees. The River Yare itself forms our southern boundary. By
the river there is the Bowthorpe Southern Park with a riverside walk
that goes through Bowthorpe Marsh, onto Earlham Marsh and the Millenium
Green and through Earlham Park, the University as far as Cringleford. The
marshes are managed as environmentally sensitive areas. I regularly hear from
friends of interesting bird sightings: herons, egrets, even osprey. I have spent a
long time watching a small stickleback defend his patch against all-comers in one
of the ditches, including whole shoals of other fish. There are tree belts through
Bowthorpe, mostly connected to each other though not (yet?) connected to the
marshes by the river. And Three Score has hedge-rows, a marl-pit and an avenue
of limes. To the city-side of us is Bunkers Hill Wood (maybe its bluebells are
already beginning to send up spikey green leaves so that we can enjoy the flowers
in April and May) and alongside the Dereham Road are the grass and trees of
Bowthorpe Park (look for the mistletoe). It is a delight to watch the bats at dusk
above the lane down from Clover Hill to the village centre (in the summer: they
should be hibernating now). An internet search on many of the above names will
tell you more about them and is always a good
thing to do before going to have a look oneself.
The picture is of Millenium Green.
