On Monday 12th December, Hotwells Primary School had a special visitor –

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales came to see the school’s organic
kitchen garden, which staff, children and parents have been developing dur-
ing the last year.

The Prince was shown around the

school by head teacher Jenny Tay-
lor. In the kitchen garden he met
Reception teacher Jeremy Leices-
ter, whose idea it was to convert
an underused corner of the play-
ground into food production. The
Prince also met several children -
Lula Ososki, Finley Wilks,
Frederica Bullough and Tom Dunn,
who explained their experiment
comparing onion grown with and
without cloches. Tom Krause, Fin-
bar Tillotson and Ella Torkildsen,
showed The Prince the beetroot
they were harvesting. The Prince Prince Charles talks to children at Hotwells School
also planted a cherry tree.
Other activities during the visit included observing Class 2 experiencing a vegetable
quiz run by the Duchy of Cornwall’s Garden for Life Project; hearing Class 5 explain
the importance of eating locally grown food and listening to GP parent Dr Catherine
Zollman teaching Class 6 pupils about health and nutrition. The Prince also made a
surprise visit to the kitchen where he met school chef Annette Morgan and tried his
hand at stirring the custard!
The Prince also joined in a tasting session, sampling green tomato chutney made from
vegetables grown in the garden. Daisy Dymond, from Class 2, presented the Prince
with a jar of the chutney, which was made using her grandmother’s recipe. Various
other gifts were presented during the visit, including a hand made ceramic sunflower
sign, a poem about the organic garden, the Reception children’s book about HRH
(which made him laugh a good deal!) and a copy of the school’s cookbook Truly
Scrumptious, produced by the PTA. This contains recipes from chefs Barny Haughton
and Mitchell Tonks, and others contributed by local food producers, parents and pu-
pils. The cookbook is being sold as a fundraiser – for a copy contact the school office

NEW FACES!
If you are new to the area,
we wish you a very warm
welcome from all at the Hot-
wells & Cliftonwood Com-
munity Association.
The H&CCA was founded in
1972, and is one of
the longest established and
best-known community or-
ganisations in the area. It is
run on a voluntary basis,
and is a registered charity
and limited company. The
objectives of the H&CCA are
to improve the quality of life
for those that live and work
in Hotwells and Cliftonwood
and for this we rely on the
many local volunteers who
are active in running our
various groups and projects.
If you would like to find out
more about the work of the
H&CCA, or would like to get
involved, please do get in
touch. We would be really
delighted to hear from you.

WILDLIFE IN HOTWELLS
With the destruction of Granby Green, birds have lost both winter shelter and a well-
stocked larder. Please do what you can to help them survive the Winter and find nesting
places. If you were contemplating pruning trees or bushes you might bear in mind that
birds may be using that ‘untidy’ patch for roosting at night. Perhaps you could be less dras-
tic in your tidying, or even leave it for now –and think of planting more bushes and provid-
ing nesting boxes. Some people don’t like ivy but it does little or no harm to trees and
gives good cover for birds, plus winter berries and can provide flowers for bees and other
insects right into the Winter. I wonder whether anyone living near Granby Green has
found any ‘refugees’. In September a large frog appeared in our wa-
ter butt and we were pleased that it had escaped the massacre last
Spring when the breeding frogs were buried under piles of rubble.
I have several little native trees, mostly grown from seed including
hazel, bay, holly and a horse chestnut. Ring me on 9291804 if you

Community Forum
The idea of a broad network of organisations active in Hotwells &
Cliftonwood was floated in the last newsletter. Now we have identi-
fied the state of business, particularly the retail sector as a major
concern which will form the first topic for Community Forum to
explore..
It is obvious to anyone walking
down Hotwell Road that some
businesses are doing well and
others are struggling. The
trend over the last few years
has been for ‘utility’ shops that
might tempt people to visit
regularly to disappear so that
local people are forced to go
further afield for necessities
like groceries, vegetables, a
newspaper or –dare we men-
tion, a book of stamps.
We want to stem this deterio-
ration if possible and help the
businesses we still have to
work together to make the
whole area a more attractive
destination for shopping, eat-
ing and drinking. We are all
responsible for this –do you
Hotwells Road shops use your local pharmacy for
dispensing prescriptions, for
example! Other areas of the City like St. Marks Road and Christmas Steps
have demonstrated that change is possible. There is a good possibility we
can get some financial help to employ a consultant to advise local traders on
how they might help themselves and how we can help them.
If you have an interest in this subject, you should sign up for Community Fo-
rum membership. You will then automatically be invited to any discussions
that take place. E-mail the office or phone (contact details on back page of
this newsletter). We hope to be able to convene a meeting sometime in
February or early March.
Reader’s Rant
This slot is for anyone who wants to let off
steam about problems affecting our local area.
Views expressed do not necessarily represent
those of the Community Association.
Where’s Barbara?
I have been very disappointed over the
last year in the total lack of interest
shown in any of our activities by our local
councillor Barbara Janke.
We have had no support or indeed any
comment on the concerns and issues
raised on traffic, parking and environ-
mental issues. A recent submission con-
cerning increased central area parking and
park and ride charges (Cabinet 13th Octo-
ber 2005) that would increase the com-
muter parking problems of our area elic-
ited “many thanks. We took note of your
comments at last evening's Cabinet meet-
ing.” The document was, however, passed
in its original form.
One can only envy our friends in South-
ville whose councillors are actively sup-
porting them in their efforts to deal with
similar problems. Their representations
were similarly ignored by the Bristol
Cabinet but at least they tried!
In efforts to safeguard the open space be-
low Cliftonwood Terrace it has been im-
possible to get even a meeting with our
councillor to request help, let alone re-
ceive any active support.
I believe Individuals elected to the council
to represent local interests should at least
make themselves available to hear what
their constituents are thinking – and not
just in the run up to elections.

Peter Ware, architect 1929 – 1999

The work of a much-loved and respected local resident, Peter Ware is soon, it is hoped, to gain more recognition. The
Peter Ware Memorial Committee was formed with the aim of creating a permanent visual memorial to a man whose life
and work was of great significance to the architecture of the West of England. The committee’s Honorary Chairman is Bris-
tol-based George Ferguson, President of the Royal Institute of British
Architects, and most of its members are residents of Hotwells, par-
ticularly of Dowry Square, where Peter Ware lived most of his life. It
is for this reason that the planned memorial is a brass and steel
plaque, part of which is intertwined with the historic iron railings at
the foot of the Square gardens. The memorial has been designed by
Janet Margrie, a local artist and particular friend of Peter.
If you would like to support this project e-mail the HCCA office at

details of the project. You can also contact the Architecture Cen-

Trinity Day Centre

Visiting Hotwells’ own Day Centre is a joy. Everyone I have spoken

to expresses such enthusiasm for the meals, the company and the en-
tertainment.
Its purpose is to help older people main-
tain independence, and as well as offering a
meal cooked on the premises by Rachel —
beef stew with apple crumble for pudding
or a proper roast with all the trimmings,
for just £2.90, there is entertainment or an
opportunity to get taken shopping at one
of the supermarkets or have clothes ma-
chine washed and dried on the premises,
for £1.50 per load.

City Council Social Services and Health
provides core funding and refer people assessed by them or by nurses at clinics. Friends
or families can refer via Social Services older people with “substantial or critical needs”.
These new, more rigorous criteria mean clients may be less active and less able to par-
ticipate in future, making it more difficult for the service to help people to keep active
and remain in their own homes. They have raised funds for hearing loops, a wireless
microphone for use by entertainers, a new computer and a large cinema screen which
can be linked to DVDs, videos or
slides. Volunteer helpers are also
highly valued.
Afternoon entertainment and activi-

Bristol Old Vic and Southwest
Scriptwriters are set to co-produce
a new play by local writer Peter
Kesterton.
‘Air Guitar’, was the winning entry in
the 2005 Southwest Scriptwriters Play-
writing Competition. This is his first full-
length stage production.
The play is set in the wilds of the West
Country outside an old caravan in a
field. When urbane TV producer Mike
visits his estranged and isolated brother
Edward, they struggle to find any com-
mon ground. Playing air guitar one night
is a reminder of happier days, but be-
neath such youthful games, Mike begins
to suspect there lies something more
sinister.

SS Great Britain; star of Hotwells’ heritage
Brunel’s SS Great Britain is steaming ahead with an action-
packed 2006.
A major highlight for the museum ship attraction is 'Brunel 200' - the
200th anniversary of the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel's birth.
Brunel's ss Great Britain, in Bristol, is holding a number of special
events including a nationally important exhibition for Brunel 200 and
the official turning on of a full-scale working model of Brunel's 1845
engine, inside the ship.
It follows completion of the £11.3 million programme of works, in
July 2005, to save Brunel's ss Great Britain and make her one of the
world's most exciting historic ships. The steamship is playing a major
part in the Brunel 200 celebrations. They include the exciting new
exhibition, entitled 'The Nine Lives of I.K. Brunel', from April 1 to
October 31, in the SS Great Britain Trust's Maritime Heritage Cen-
tre. The exhibition, which focuses on Brunel's roller-coaster personal
and professional life, is twinned with nearby visitor attraction At Bris-
tol's 'The Forces that Made I.K. Brunel'. Exhibits on show in the
Maritime Heritage Centre include many loaned from museums and
collections across the UK. The biggest is a 50-tonne replica broad
gauge locomotive, the 'Iron Duke', which has to be transported from
the National Railway Museum in York. A full-scale turning model of
Brunel's original 1845 engine, with sounds and smells, will be in place
in Spring. Visitors will have the chance to find out what life was really
