NOTICE > > > > The children and staff
at Chapelbreak Pre-
school were very sad and
disappointed on Monday
morning when they came in
to find all the plants they
had planted the week
before had been stolen.
They had done a sponsored
pedal push to raise money
to buy plants to fill the
new raised beds that had
been fitted as part of the
expansion of
the outside
play area.
THEFT
From the Bowthorpe Community Garden
On what we believe was the night of
Wednesday 5th June 2 identical ornate wood-
en benches were stolen from the community
garden on Tolye Road. They are approx. 6ft
long, one has a light brown varnish finish and the other bare wood which is grey/white
in colour.
Anyone who may have witnessed their removal or has seen
them could they please contact Adrian Judd 07765 350383
A generous reward is offered for information leading to their

Your chance to have your
say on preserving
Bowthorpe’s heritage
Local people have been involved in
putting together an important council document which makes
recommendations for ways to
preserve and enhance Bowthorpe’s unique character.
The draft Bowthorpe Conservation
Area Appraisal will be open for consultation from Monday 1 July
until Monday 29 July.
From Monday 1 July, for one
week, there will be an exhibi-tion in the foyer of Roys in
the Bowthorpe shopping
centre, which will then move to
City Hall on St Peters Street, where it will be displayed from Monday 8
until Friday 12 July.
You will also be able to see the appraisal on the council’s website
www.norwich.gov.uk throughout
July.
FREE contents of a working man’s library spanning some 40
years. Collection of books mainly fiction e.g. The English Patient, Jewel in the Crown, Gormagast. Also current affairs authors such as Andrew
Marr. Packed in about 4 bin bags.
Also pick from my collection of theological works, and from selection of French and other language tutorials.

Dog walkers offer
Two children in Clover Hill
aged 12 and 10 are hoping
to take on walking a local
dog to raise money for
Water Aid and to enjoy
time with a dog, as it is not
practical to have one of
their own.
Parents would be involved in
helping set it up and
arrange a trial period and
finer details, but if anyone
has a dog which would
benefit from time they
could offer, we would be
really pleased if you would
get in contact with either
Dave or
Helen on

.
My team will be focused on patrolling the neighbourhood as the days lengthen. Crime continues to fall across Bowthorpe. But we often see a rise in the reporting of acts of anti-social behaviour during the summer months. People naturally spend more time in the parks and streets enjoying the warmer weather. This sometimes leads to reports of anti-social behaviour as high spirits create noise and nuisance for local residents.
We are committed to reducing the acts of anti-social behaviour during the summer time. I am currently looking at several options to assist in the local policing efforts during the warmer nights. To achieve this I will need information from you. Please report for my attention all acts of anti-social behaviour on the estate. I need to know where and when the acts are happening. And I need to know who is doing them.
The council take a strong lead in noise nuisance between neighbours. They have responsibility for monitoring unacceptable levels of noise from things like house parties. I will be working closely with the council and I would still ask that you make me aware of any neighbour concerns.
I will also be working closely with the council to target the fly-tipping that openly affects part of our neighbourhood. Again, let me know if you have any information on who is littering on our streets or if there is an area that needs attention for cleaning.
And finally I will be leading an operation to address concerns on road traffic offences in our neighbourhood; abuse of bus gates and speeding motorists. You have been warned.
We are always keen to hear any ideas for how we can be making a positive difference to the community. Should you have information please contact us by dialling 101 or through crime stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Details of our latest community meetings can be found on the Constabulary website where you can look at the latest news in the community. Or please come along to the station and let me know what concerns or information you have for the estate.

Simplicity isn’t a word we hear much about these days, but when we do it is usually in connection with an interior design that looks simple but is probably expensive! Henry Thoreau, one of the great writers on simplicity, said that `a person is rich in proportion to the things they can leave alone.’ Simplicity is partly about choices.
As we look at our lives, do we know how and why we’ve ended up living how we’re living? What choices have we made that control our lifestyle? When we wanted that new house or car were we aware that the trade-off would mean worker longer hours to pay for them and seeing less of the people we love? And so we find ourselves on the treadmill of life, paying for the choices we hardly knew we’d even made.
Jesus said, “Seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). This is about getting our priorities right. When we do this, we experience true freedom. Simplicity is freedom, freedom from listening to the voices that tell us happiness is found in a job that commands more respect or in obtaining a bigger house, a better car, a more expensive luxury holiday, the latest fashion or the costliest jewellery, or in having a busy diary. Simplicity asks us to listen to the whisper of God that we seldom notice or have time to hear. Simplicity helps us discover that happiness comes not from having many things and plenty of money but from having the space for closeness in our friendships, space for ourselves and family, and primarily the space for God.
Wishing you a very joyful summer...whatever the weather.

This summer we are planning to offer a bite size programme of taster sessions to enable our adult clients (18+) to have a go at things they have not tried before. I would like to offer some work taster or volunteering experience for a couple of hours to give our members the opportunity to help e.g. in a day centre, café, activity, playgroup, community centre. We would love to hear from anyone who might be able to offer a couple of hours work experience (members would come in twos or threes supported by a member of staff). Our summer programme runs from 29 July to 5 September,
Monday to Friday.

RAMADAN MESSAGE FROM THE NEESA PROJECT
God willing the 9th July 2013 will see the start of the holy month of Ramadan
for Muslims all over the world.
A month of fasting from dawn until dusk, prayers, good deeds and charity.
I have chosen a quote from Ali Ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them). Ali was the first male to
convert to Islam.
If the whole world were to consider these words, what a peaceful place it
would be.
‘’Hate no one, however much they have wronged you.
Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you have become.
Think positively, no matter how hard life is.
Give much, even if you have been given little.
Keep in touch with ones who may have forgotten you.
Forgive who has wronged you and do not stop praying for the best for those
you love’’
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Peaceful and
successful Ramadan. May your fasting be easy and your good deeds many.

Thanks to Hajira Ben Moussa for sending this in.
From Mike Sands, City and County Councillor for Bowthorpe
Dear Residents,
The first weeks of County Council have been very eventful and have flown by with a number of changes occurring in County Hall which should result in greater democracy and better representation for residents, not just of Bowthorpe, but across the City and County. The conservative party lost overall control of County and there is now an administration based upon what has been described as a ‘rainbow alliance.’ Your elected representatives working together to improve services. This needs to be tempered by the knowledge that County must deal with £65 million in cuts in funds from Westminster. This becomes a fine balancing act in looking at all aspects of expenditure and ‘paring’ and making savings through efficiencies
while reducing the impact on and effectiveness of services.

Bowthorpe continues to be a community in which acceptance of others and cohesion between groups is encouraged. Cllr Jo Story, Cllr Sue Sands (currently Sewell Ward) and I attended an event at Cloverhill Village Hall on Saturday (22 / 6). This was put on by a local organisation called Society Alive. Though organised and run by new arrivals to our community this was a multi cultural event designed to bring different cultures and communities together. It was very well attended and enjoyed by all. We were very well fed
too, with some great cooking.
As well as bringing communities together, an important aim of Society Alive is to foster an enjoyment of learning amongst our children and an aspiration to do well and to complete high school and to go on to higher education or university. With the current economic climate likely to continue, encouraging aspiration is likely to encourage local enterprise which is the way to build our
community. Mike Sands
SHOE-MAKING CRAFTS-
MANSHIP ALIVE AND WELL IN
THE HEART OF BOWTHORPE
Paul Seaman started repairing
shoes at the age of six-and-a-half
and began full-time shoe-making
with W.E.Smith & Son when he
reached fifteen.
Mr. Maurice Stone was Paul’s
mentor from the start, and
continued to be so all his life,
having passed away early this year.
Twenty two years ago W.E.smith &
Son moved from premises in
Drayton Road into one of the units
in Bowthorpe Craft Workshops ,
where Paul now has sole
responsibility. His hand-made
orthopaedic footwear is
legendary, and customers cannot
speak too highly of the personal
service each receives.
A key question remains: will
anyone have the commitment
and dedication to learn from
Paul and carry on the work?

ASHWELL COURT
Hello again. Despite it being almost mid-summer’s day, I am writing this after battling through a hailstorm, coupled with the gale which we seem to have with us permanently these days. Let’s hope by the time this is published and you read it, the weather will have decided to behave like mid-summer and we can get out our bikinis, or at least our sun-dresses!
At Ashwell Court we have had a range of activities all with refreshments efficiently and tastefully provided by Caroline and her helpers. We are so grateful to all of them for their hard work, particularly to Caroline for arranging all the entertainment. We are lucky, when the weather is so cold, to have these enjoyable evenings on our doorstep.
Since the last issue of the “Bowthorpe News” we have enjoyed an evening of Hoy, with prizes and a Fish and Chip Supper. This was a very enjoyable event. At the beginning of June we had a Strawberry Tea followed by entertainment by Dick High and at the end of June there was another evening of entertainment with Tony Cann.
Recently several of us from Ashwell Court have joined some excellent outings with our friends from Bradecroft, one to Bury St Edmunds and another to Lowestoft, visiting Highway Nurseries on the way home. As always these were lovely trips, with plenty of time to visit the various destinations and sample some nice afternoon teas!
Hopefully we shall enjoy some hot summer weather before I next write. Best wishes to you all.
Bye for now.

BRADECROFT
Hello Everyone,
We have at last had a few nice summer days. It would have been
better if the wind did not have that chill factor.
On Wednesday May 22nd, together with our friends from Ashwell Court, we travelled on our planned trip to BURY ST EDMUNDS. It was market day, it was quite breezy and a bit chilly, but I think everyone enjoyed themselves by the look of the full shopping bags that came back on the coach with us.
Our next trip is LOWESTOFT, which I will tell you about next time..
Friday 21st June was the longest day. I wonder if the summer weather will change. The evenings have not been light like it was other years, and I think it’s going to seem a long winter so best make the most of the sun when it
shines.
Well I have a sad ending to this month’s letter I'm afraid. Many of you that read these letters will remember Mr. and Mrs. Plummer (blind George and his wife) often seen on our shopping bus, and on our trips out, After his wife had her accident they had to leave here and go into
care to be looked after.
Sad to say George passed away in May, and his Funeral was
on Thursday 30 May.
God rest his soul, I do hear from Irene now and then.
Well this is all for now , more next time.
Take care. Pat
Pat Can my family say a BIG Thank
You to Al and Donna Sharp for
being True and Faithfull
Friends.
Also to say Thank You to them
for being there for Alfie Newton
(Bradecroft) who has been very
ill and is still in hospital.
Best Wishes Sylvia, John Ben and Beth Wesley

At Rest
Think of me as one at rest,
for me you should not weep
I have no pain no troubled thoughts
for I am just asleep
The living thinking me that was,
is now forever still
And life goes on without me now,
as time forever will.
If your heart is heavy
now
because I've gone
away
Dwell not long upon it
friend
For none of us can stay
Those of you who liked
me,
I sincerely thank you all
And those of you who
loved me,
I thank you most of all.
And in my fleeting
lifespan,
as time went rushing
by
I found some time to
hesitate,
to laugh, to love, to cry
Matters it now if time
began
If time will ever cease?
I was here, I used it all,
and now I am at peace.

Contestants came from Bowthorpe and some from Lakenham.
We were fortunate to have Ruth Bennett as guest come and perform, and our
judges Richy, Val and Ann had the difficult task of deciding a winner again,
Thank you Judges!
The Winners were:
Under 18 years Chelsea Jeary
18 & Over Lorna Cracknell
Congratulations to you both.
We had a photographer from the Eastern Evening News come along and took
lots of photos, so hopefully you will have read about it in the paper.
Again a big thank you to our Judges, Clover Hill Community Association mem-
bers and volunteers, all the companies for their generosity with raffle prizes,
the audience and above all the many contestants who entertained us all.

while. Two ladies expressed an interest in volunteering to help at meetings, which
is fabulous news. Wasn't it a lovely sunny day and wonderful to see the village out
in support of this event. I hope that all stall holders enjoyed a measure of success on
the day.

thought the wordsearch this time could feature some
of the cities in the world that people most prefer to go to
(not Oz’s favourites but never mind). See how you get on.
BANGKOK BARCELONA BEIJING BERLIN
CHICAGO FLORENCE LONDON QUEENSTOWN
ROME SHANGHAI SYDNEY TOKYO
Well that’s all from me until September. Hope you all
have a good summer holiday and that the break from
school is relaxing. Do good things, enjoy yourselves and
stay safe. Bye Oz
