NOTICE BOARD
"I wanted to pay tribute to my wonderful and beloved Spotty who we sadly had to say goodbye to on September 14th, 2013. He was my trusted and loyal companion for 17 years. Many of you, I'm sure, will recognise him and may have had the pleasure in meeting him whilst out and about on our daily walks all around Bowthorpe! He even made the headlines when he and I were asked to officially open the Bowthorpe Community Gardens back in 2008. I miss him very much. He was always there no matter what, for 17 amazing and wonderful years xxxx" Jo de Vincentiis

My thanks to those of you who came along and spoke with us at the latest street meeting. We are listening to your concerns. I am addressing traffic concerns in Bowthorpe. My teams recent action to address the frequent misuse of bus lanes and speeding motorists has resulted in numerous drivers being advised about their manner of driving, several receiving tickets and one driver being reported to court for careless driving and other offences. I recently spoke with the head of the councils traffic enforcement officers and invited them to work alongside my team for joint action days particularly to look at the poor parking outside our schools at dropping off and picking up times. I am currently working with the DVLA with a view to arranging another day focusing on any untaxed vehicles in our neighbourhood. The reduction of anti - social behaviour has continued to be a priority for my team. I continue to work closely with our housing agency partners to address your concerns. Thanks to your information one resident has now been evicted for persistent anti - social behaviour, a criminal ASBO has been granted by the courts, one further person has been identified as fly tipping and one person has now been charged with supplying drugs in our neighbourhood. There is no quick and final fix but together we will continue to address concerns and further reduce the anti - social behaviour in our neighbourhood. Concerns on anti - social behaviour are particularly relevant at this time of the year with the approach of fireworks, bonfires and trick - or - treaters. Please remember that not every member of our community will want to participate and please respect your neighbours. What is criminal and anti social throughout the year is still illegal despite these days of festivities. You can log on to our Constabulary website to find out more information or to download posters and other activities. Equally you are welcome to call at your local police station and speak with any member of my team. We are always happy to see you and we want to know what concerns you feel we should be prioritising to improve the neighbourhood. I would like to repeat that the amount of crime in Bowthorpe is still low. It is a nice place. This is because of the real sense of community we have. We will work hard to keep it this way as we are fully committed to working with you. Please keep the information coming. You can contact us by dialling 101 or through crime stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. It is with your continued support that we can make Bowthorpe one of the safest areas of Norwich in which to live. Pc 591 Andy Tomlinson
Main Service 10 : 30 am Sundays Sunday Evening Service 6 : 30 pm Wednesday 10 am Service of Holy Communion and Healing Remembrance
This month as we remember all those who gave their lives in war for the sake of our peace, I thought I would give you the words of the Remembrance Service so that you can take a few moments to be still before God.
Let us remember the kindness of God, and his favour to us in our time of need. Let us remember the courage, devotion to duty, and the self-sacrifice of the men and women in our armed forces; the toil, endurance, and suffering of those who were not in uniform; the support of those who sent help from afar, or came and stood by our side. Let us remember those who were wounded in the fight; those who perished in air-raids at home; those who fell in battle, and are buried at sea or in some corner of a foreign field; and especially those whom we have known and loved, whose place is for ever in our hearts. Let us remember those who were our enemies, whose homes and hearts are as bereft as ours, whose dead lie also in a tomb of living remembrance. Let us remember those who came back; those whose lives still bear the scars of war; those who lost sight or limbs or reason; those who lost faith in God and hope for humanity. Let us remember the continuing grace of God; in love God gave his own Son Jesus Christ to suffer and die upon a cross, in love God raised him from the dead, giving those that trust in him the hope of eternal life. `They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them, not the years condemn. at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Bowthorpe, 1826
Shown here is a section from Andrew Bryants Country Around Norwich map of 1826. When Bryant and his team surveyed the area about two years earlier, the village of Bowthorpe had already fallen into ruin. The remains of All Angles Church (1) was used as a makeshift farm building, although the original Bowthorpe Hall is clearly marked nearby. Todays residential areas of Clover Hill (2), Three Score (3) and Chapel Break (4) had yet to be developed. The Bowthorpe Shopping Centre (5) would later stand on the area south of Dereham Road (6), which was then little more than a dirt track. The University of East Anglia (7) is now found on a route that ran from the east bank of the River Yare and eventually joins Earlham Road (8). The site of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital (9) was open land. Bryants entire map, and many others of local and historical interest, can be found at www.historic-maps.norfolk.gov.uk. Brian Lamont. Humbleyard, Clover Hill.

ASHWELL COURT
Doesnt the time go quickly? It only seems like yesterday I was writing for the August issue (the height of summer) and now I am writing for the November issue. Where did all that time go? I hope it went quickly for you, too, because it means you were having fun. We have been continuing to have fun at Ashwell Court. I mentioned the Mystery Tour last time, when we joined with Bradecroft. This was, as usual, very, very good. We went quite far afield through lovely and interesting country and ended at Ely, a place I, for one, had never really visited. The cathedral there is awesome and I didnt realise that Oliver Cromwell actually lived in Ely so his house could also be visited. We look forward to joining Bradecroft in their programme of trips next year. We had a lovely evening of entertainment by Pat James at the end of September and then a very lively evening with Barry Tone an excellent reincarnation of Elvis Presley! We are looking forward to visits by Patsy Rose (for Halloween) and also to another visit by Helen and Michael and an evening visit by Pat James, so a very lively and entertaining time ahead. We are so lucky to have all this entertainment on our doorstep. We do not even have to turn out in the cold in the winter. This is due to Caroline who arranges all the entertainers visits and also, with her helpers, produces such lovely buffets each time. Our thanks to Caroline and her helpers. We are delighted to welcome a new resident at Ashwell Court. Edward Calaz moved in recently to the flat vacated by Eva. We wish Edward every happiness in his new home and hope he will enjoy living at Ashwell Court. Eva, one of our longest residents (she moved in when Ashwell Court opened in 1975) and recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Although active and well she has moved to Corton House a residential home. We hope she will be very happy there but, of course, we miss her cheerful presence at Ashwell Court. Best wishes and love from us all Eva. Well thats all for now. Best wishes to everyone from all at Ashwell Court. Bye Margaret 20

Hello again. A QUIZ NIGHT was held earlier this month and our brains had to work over time to try and get the answers; very enjoyable evening. October 24th we had a Bingo evening,.

Together with our friends from Ashwell Court we went on our last trip of the year which was our Mystery Tour. We circled our way across the fenlands and stopped at Ely. What a charming little city with its magnificent cathedral. I dont think we will ever have builders building places like that, its a past skill, Im afraid. We then carried on through the fenlands and back into Norfolk to Elveden where we stopped for afternoon tea. Despite the showers we had a very pleasant day.

My lifes adventures of being a parent with learning disabilities (by a single mum in bowthorpe)
From birth Before my daughter I had nothing but abuse from friends and family .Whilst I had my daughter in my tummy I had some problems with taken drugs and drinking lots at that time. I was so worried about if my unborn child would have any problems or be disabled in anyway. As her dad had epilepsy and some mental health issues. And I had problems with mental health and learning disability had so many negative thoughts of not being able to cope with the unborn child when the child is born and I was very scared too. When she was laid in my arms my worry were all gone she was so beautiful she was a miracle baby a baby I thought I would never have .my drugs problems and the drinking all stopped when she was put in my arms. I had a new little life to look after and care for .I had some meetings to go to. To see if me and my partner could cope. And to see if her needs were being met. There were thoughts by childrens services to put her in care. but I asked for a chance to prove to the social workers that I could do it with support. These meetings went on a good few times. i did prove them all wrong but there was problems along the way like the feeding of the bottles I found really hard. but I was shown a good few times by the health visitor .Then I was able to do it myself as I learnt more from role play and pictures I did have worries of when she was ill. What to do. Again it was shown to me in step by step in picture form what I had to do. The timing of the feeds was hard for me as I dont understand time and times. So little clocks were drawn for me. It was very hard but in the end I could tell by her cries what she needed at that time e.g. feeding changing or playing with. Agers 1-3 I had more involvement from social workers, health visitors community mental health nurse, a supporter, and a doctor. Baby started to walk with the help and support I gave her. I started to hold her up rite. Then held her hands so she walks tiny steps. To start with I dint ever give up on her at all. I stuck to it every day so she was walking at 1 and a half years of age. I felt so proud of myself for doing it .she slept throw the night at 2 years of age but her tempers were very bad. She head butted things and kicked and screamed. I found this a big challenge. But this was normal for her age at this time. I felt useless I dint know what to do. My supporter helped me throw this tuff time. I then split up with her dad because of a gambling addition there was nothing in the home for my daughter to eat. So I packed a little stuff for her and for me. And then went to see my community mental health nurse. She put us into a safe house away from him so that led to another meeting with the social servers to see if I can cope on my own with my daughter. I did and prove everybody wrong again. We got a flat and 24
then she started nursery. For me and for my daughter it was a hard time. And our first test of independence together. I did have concerns of my own like me teaching her things to do with school as I worry I would be left behind in the learning part. She found making friends hard. Ages 4-6 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. So I found it hard getting out and about at times. My daughter then went to infant school .I was being left behind with her school work. Especially homework .Her tempers were stile bad and really hating herself at the time. suppose with everything that shes been through this is normal behaviour .She did sum caring for me at this time. I felt bad vat she had to help me. I just wanted the best for her. Shes a really bright child and loves school lots. My supporter got the learning disabilities team involved with me instead of the mental health nurses. As it was then when I got diagnosed with having learning disabilities. They found out I was miss diagnosed most of my life because of the tests they done on me .I then had carers in my life nearly every day they helped me with my parenting and my other issues. Like going to parks and going out to different places and showering because of the arthritis and because I dont understand the safety bits with baby and myself. I was driven out of the home by bullying on the street so we both moved again to a bungalow and so she started another infant school at reception class. so she had to start over making new friends again my social worker got her into young carers she really loves it. And it gives her a chance to be a child and have a rest from me. She goes on trips and has lots of fun there she copes with everything so well. I have got a new partner now. I thought this would upset her. But instead it helped her lots. I was worried about this. Also she goes to street dance on a Friday she loves it.She has also started beavers which she enjoys lots. It has really helped with her conference and self-esteem. She has got lots of different badgers I am so proud of her. Age 7 My daughter has moved school again. This time to junior school. And she once again has more behaviour problems. She has moments of regression and turns into a 2 year old this I found really stressful and hard to deal with. But I talked to her support worker. She went up to the school to talk to her and challenge her a bit. This have seemed to of done the trick. There is now a plan and routine put in place for her me. And my partner worked together with this too. And have to stick to it. We go out together with my daughter. And my partner supports us lots. He helps with the homework and schooling and we still have meetings about her now. And it seems to be positive most of the time . *************************** 25
