With Summer now well and truly here with the heat we have been experiencing it is
essential people still lock doors and windows when leaving the house, even if for a
short period as this is prime time for burglars and thieves to strike, it only takes a
minute to snatch items from an insecure window or house.
The NOSCAS have opened up for voting as of 16th June 2017 until 28th July 2017.
What is the NOSCAS you are probably thinking? Well
The Norfolk Safer Community Awards (NOSCAs) started in 2008 with a small
event in Norfolk Constabularys gym at the Police Headquarters in Wymondham.
It was clear from that successful evening that a bigger venue would be needed and
the next year we moved to Dunston Hall where the event stayed for five years. In
2013 a larger venue was needed and NOSCAs moved to the Holiday Inn in Norwich.
The Norfolk Safer Community Awards offer people the opportunity to support the
continuing efforts of the community and the Constabulary in helping to keep Norfolk
a safer county to live, work and visit.
The awards combine internal recognition with local communities voting for officers
who they feel deserve an award for their contributions to their community. Additional-
ly, if people know of an exceptional individual or group who need to be thanked they
are encouraged to nominate them for an award.
Chief Constable Simon Bailey will choose recipients for the Special Recognition
Award. He will also be acknowledging officers and staff with Bravery Awards which
recognise their outstanding bravery in the line of duty. Finally, the Police Dog of the
Year will be voted for on the Norfolk Constabularys Facebook page.
As before, readers of the Eastern Daily Press can choose their Community Officer of
the Year. They are nominated by district commanders across Norfolk. Voting forms
will be available in the paper and you can vote online.
The three other categories that members of the public can nominate someone for
are; The John (Cecil) Mason Volunteer of the Year, Young Citizen(s) of the Year and
Community Citizen(s) of the Year.
Norfolk Safer Community Awards are funded by sponsorship from commercial and
community partners.
Entries open on Friday 16 June 2017 and close on Friday 28 July 2017.
All information on who to vote for and how is on the website, www.NOSCAS.co.uk
and it just so happens that I am nominated for Community Police Officer of the year!
This is a really good way for the public to show and tell how officers have helped
them with any problems (however big or small) and why they should win!
Thanks again PC 1668 Dan Taylor

Bowthorpe
We were joined by over 40 guests from neighbouring WI's in June when
we celebrated our 28th Birthday with a party. Members were shown some
basic dance steps that seemed very easy until we had to put all the little
sequences together. I'm not sure who laughed more, the dancers that
were falling over their own feet or the members that were sitting back and
watching the entertainment! After we were all out of breath we stopped
for a much needed drink and to sample the lovely buffet provided by
members.
Our meeting on 3rd July will be less energetic as we can sit back and
hear about the Art Deco period - from architecture to earrings. Ladies
you're welcome to join us at the Bowthorpe Church Centre at 7.30pm if
this is a subject that interests you. You can pick up a programme for the
rest of this year's events to see the other interesting evenings we have
planned.
In August we are holding a fundraising event. The money raised will be
donated to St Michaels Junior school. This will help them to buy books to
extend their library.
All tables must be booked in advance, details below-
Quiz and Chips
Bowthorpe Church Centre
Monday 7th August
7 for a 7.30pm start
A maximum of 6 per team
7.50 per person
The choice of menu is cod & chips or spring roll & chips. Please bring
your own cutlery, condiments and drink.
If you are looking forward to your summer holiday and a well-earned rest, how can
you get the rest you need? How many people have you heard about who take their
laptop and mobile with them on holiday? They continue to work but in a different
location. There are companies who want their employees to still be available even
though away. Continuing to answer emails while on holiday is simply relocation
rather than rest.
There are increasing concerns about how damaging it is to always be connected and
how reliant we have become on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram. Then there are the constant emails, and the frequent web browsing. So,
should we cut ourselves off when we are on holiday? I can think of no better time
than a holiday to cut down our use of social media and to stop email altogether. I
have had people say to me that they dont want to return to hundreds of emails so
they check them each day. Having a vacation response solves this!
Lets remember that disconnecting is good for us. Disconnecting is good for the body
because we stop being hunched over our devices. Disconnecting is good for the
mind because we all need to switch off. Psychologists tell us that many users of the
internet are having ever more problems with their memory because the internet is
changing the way our brain works. We are increasingly thinking in a fragmented way.
Disconnecting is also good for our spirit, as the constant use of social media and our
devices, not to mention the slavery to the work place, can become a form of idolatry.
And disconnecting is good for our relationships. Holidays are time to be together with
family or friends. Sharing an experience with someone on Facebook is not the same
as sharing it with those whom you love who are actually with you.
So this summer, why not detox yourself and disconnect your devices,
and reconnect with your family, friends, and with God.
Until next month,
Rev. Mark

Tales from the Archives
Lumps and Bumps
Over the past couple of months Ive written about lost houses and hospitals. In the
past when a building or structure was demolished it left its marks on the landscape in
some way. Have you ever walked through a field and noticed lumps and bumps in
the ground and wondered what they were? Well, there are lots of things they could
have been, depending on their shape, size and location.
Deserted medieval villages: Norfolk is scattered with villages that have been
deserted at different times over history. Egmere, Bixley and even Bowthorpe to name
a few. Villages were abandoned for lots of different reasons; sometimes due to
distance from water, sometimes when the landowner changes from arable to pasture
and there is little work available and occasionally when the MoD steps in and turns
the village into a training ground, as in Stanta. When the houses and buildings
eventually crumble and fall down the footing often leaves a mark in the landscape.
Roads with banks and high hedges: If you drive down a lane in Norfolk sometimes
you will notice that the road seems deep, with the banks high and steep with the
hedge on top. This is called ancient countryside. The term was penned by Oliver
Rackham and it means that the countryside has hardly changed since Saxon times
or earlier. In these parts you find hamlets, isolated farmsteads and lanes and winding
footpaths. The opposite of this is planned countryside which has large regular fields,
long straight roads and large villages every few miles.
Holloways: These are a type of sunken lane, which have usually been made over a
long period of time by people walking the same route. Sometimes they can be quite
shallow or sometimes very deep. The ones Ive seen have been in woods and have
been straight for some distance and quite wide, wide enough to take a horse and
cart or two people side by side. Some historians have said that they form part of the
boundary between two peoples properties.
Deer park boundary: Occasionally you will see a very high bank going around a large
area of land. When these banks were created they would have a 6 foot high pailing
on top. This bank & fence was to keep deer inside the park of a wealthy landowner.
Moats: In some parts of the county, usually where there is clay soil, you will find old
moats. Sometimes they are 3 sided, usually 4. This is the sign that a house/dwelling
stood there in medieval times. Historians are uncertain why these small moats were
made but the current thinking is that it was due to people copying the upper classes
in their castles but on a smaller scale.
Plough furrows: These can sometimes be seen in fields which have been changed
from arable use to grass. Hedges around a small piece of land is a relatively new
concept. Before our current farming practices we used the open field system, where
large areas were ploughed and sown with the same crop. There were usually 2 or 3
open fields in a settlement, which were farmed in rotation and one year a field was
left fallow to recover. Everyone in the settlement had some land, often in strips, and
each person was responsible for ploughing, weeding and maintaining that strip of
land, but everyone grew the same crop in the same field at the same time. Ploughing
open fields with a horse meant that the furrows were a reverse S shape.
So if you are out walking through our beautiful countryside this summer, have a look
around. You may be surprised by what you find.
Until next time, Rebecca Domek, Three Score.
The Sure Start Childrens Centre and Nurseries team are
looking for volunteers.
The team at the Sure Start Childrens Centre and Nurseries are offering something
altogether different - a volunteering opportunity where you might get a little damp,
advance your play-doh modelling skills or find yourself singing the wheels on the
bus.
They are looking for volunteers who would like to join their teams in Bowthorpe or
Thetford, and support the children as they learn to play and develop, helping them
along in their journey to big school.
All the volunteers at the centre and nursery will become part of a really supportive
team, and there will always be a member of staff nearby during sessions.
Volunteering at the centre and nursery offers a great chance to gain new skills and
experiences or perhaps the chance to see what a future career in Family Support or
Childcare might involve.
Cathy has been volunteering
at the Bowthorpe centre and
says I would definitely
recommend volunteering, its
a great way of trying some-
thing new, meeting different
people and helping your local
community

Mow & Grow Top Gardening Tips
We hope youve been enjoying the summer sun! Be sure to keep on top of jobs in
the garden. It makes all the difference when you leave for your summer holiday and
you dont come back to a jungle!
Keep it looking great: Deadhead basket and container plants to encourage new
flowers. Be sure to pick sweet peas and broad beans to encourage greater cropping.
Tidy up any spent bulbs by removing dead flowers and stems, ready for your
summer bulbs to burst into your border!
And in case youd like to spend a bit of time outdoors this month and help create a
gardening space for members of the community, call our office or email

ASHWELL COURT
At Ashwell Court the first of our summer outings took place. On a gloriously
hot day, we left early in the morning for a coach trip to the historic town of
Bury St Edmunds and to visit their market. Needless to say this trip was
enjoyed by all even though it was very hot and tiring. More excuses to sit
and enjoy an ice cream!
Before this some of us went on a trip to Clacton on Sea, This was not to
see the sea but was part of the digital inclusion Road Shows which Cotman
are implementing.
We found while imparting information about on-line activities to the visitors
we learnt a lot ourselves so it was all very enjoyable. We are looking
forward to the next Roadshows at Cromer, Bullace Road, and here at
Ashwell Court..
At Ashwell Court we are continuing with our usual activities. The film club is
going well and we have seen a variety of very good films. The last
offering was South Pacific, very much in tune with the current weather.
We still enjoy the Luncheon Club twice a week and reiterate that all are
welcome. The two-course meals are delicious and all home cooked on the
premises!
We had a lovely evening recently when Tony Cann came to entertain. As
usual a superb buffet was produced by our Entertainments Team. As it was
again recently when the Denis Light Orchestra entertained. This again was
a very musical and relaxed evening and very much enjoyed by those who
attended.
We are looking forward to an evening of Hoy with fish and chips and
also in the future our annual Strawberry Tea with entertainment by
Dick High. We are also looking forward to our future outing to
Southwold and Highway Nurseries.
We have had several new residents at Ashwell Court recently and
hope we have welcomed you all in this magazine. Apologies if we have
missed anyone. Anyway we extend a warm welcome to each and every
one of you and hope to meet you all at some of our activities.
Thats all for this time. Best wishes to you all from all at Ashwell Court.
Margaret
I would like to start by sending our best wishes to Freda, Cynthia and Wilf,
who are still recovering away from their homes. and for all of you having
health issues at home - get well soon! We say "goodbye" to Robert who
has moved into the "village" and "hello" to Val and Alan who we hope will be
very happy here.
Noting that the next issue of the News covers July and
August I will remind you that apart from our usual in-
house Social events there are outings to the Cromer
Pier Show on 11th July and Dereham for a Steam Train
trip on the 30th July, again do please keep checking
the notice board or you could miss out.
As I have to send this report by the 15th there are several good things hap-
pening after this date which I will tell you about next time.
That covers the main issues for this time so will leave you with the hope that
you don't think the above was a load of "squit" (rubbish) and remind you
to be happy and keep as healthy as possible. Ann"
