Best Book 2008

-
Chronicling everyday life in the Nottinghamshire village
News views, faces, places, - serious, amusing, sometime contentious.
-
-2008 - BEST READ
-
My best read for the last year (2008) must be
-
"The Bodyguard’s Story"
-
Diana, the Crash, and the Sole Survivor
-
Trevor Rees-Jones with Moira Johnston

I found this book enthralling and a real “can’t put downer”.
It is full of intrigue, with background and inside stories which are really stirring and sensational.
-
Do I think there is any credence to a conspiracy theory - No! .. No! .. No!

Chronicling everyday life in the Nottinghamshire village
News views, faces, places, - serious, amusing, sometime contentious.

INEFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION
-
For those of you who have been following my Blogs both here and at BURTON JOYCE ONLINE you will be aware that for the last 4 to 5 months I have been “blogging” on about numerous subjects which have influence on our community and individual lives. .Over the next months I am reasonably sure that I will be blogging and visiting them again. However, my current subject is fresh and stimulated by my thoughts on the possible future use of “The GROVE.”.
-
Whilst considering the subject, I did recall that a couple of months ago one of our Parish Councillors was delegated with investigating the matter and seeking possible funding. At that time, it was decided that the opinion and suggestions of the community would be sought for consideration.. Some time later I believe the PC provisionally concluded that the GROVE area should be developed and used for the relaxation and reflections of the B J residents ( I am not too sure of the precise wording, however it is something along these lines) .

I would like to learn HOW and WHAT influenced and persuaded the PC to proceed in this particular direction.. .. .. . Now don’t get me wrong - I do not necessarily disagree with PC decision , however, I do question the mechanism used to arrive at this decision. I personally do not recall - EVER - being consulted by the PC or any individual Councillor on subjects or decision taken by the PC..- where is the “Open” administration promised at election time. I am also particularly interested in the huge negative effect the “Poplars Playing Field “ has on the PC budget.
-
The PC minutes promised a review of the subject - uumh !!!!.
-
Once again let me say that I admire and respect tremendously all those giving their time for the administration and betterment of their community. However, I do question the apparent, ineffectual mechanisms, they use to provide and present the OPEN administration promised
-.
Let me say that .. NO! I have never got up off my backside and attended a PC meeting, nor have I telephoned a Councillor to express my views.
-
However, YES ! I have e mailed Councillors, incl. one of our Councillors at County Hall and YES, he has answered my mail on several occasions AND as a result has spoken with me on several occasions. - Thanks Councillor O’Riordan.
-
Councillors and representative should realise the majority of our community hesitates to contact verbally, for like myself they hesitate and dislike confrontation. Confrontation, particularly with officialdom usually involves some inevitable intimidation, for the majority of officialdom have the experience and expertise to intimidate us, the less informed - More frequently than not they usually avoid direct and relevant responses even to the most simplest of direct questions - ( ie Parliament Question Time and TV interviews) very frequently and all too often with an unjustified arrogance.

Communication via e-mail is much more acceptable and convenient.
-
Unfortunately our Parish Councillors, do not have, or choose not to publicise, an e-mail address.. .. Surely even if they want to ensure privacy for their personal e-mail address, they can quite easily offer direct/personal e-mail contact via a Parish Council list of official yet individual Councillor e-mail addresses

A New Year

-
BURTON JOYCE ONLINE
Chronicling everyday life in the Nottinghamshire village
News views, faces, places, - serious, amusing, sometime contentious.

-
-
“Happy New Year” to everyone, everywhere
-
Some chance many of you will retort ! Especially with the World’s Economic Crisis overshadowing most everyone and everything.

OK ! The coming times will be difficult. So now, even more so , is the time for us all to pull together as a community and look after our own .
-
Here is my suggestion, hope and endeavour for 2009. -

As you will begin to realise “My glass is always half full - never, never half empty “.
-
I would therefore be “Chuffed” to see a genuine, cohesive, caring, all embracing community here in our village . A community that is more aware of the plight of others less fortunate than themselves, an awareness with true empathy of all groups and minorities throughout the total age spectrum of B J
-
We will all have our individual and pet endeavours mine is the improvement of the social lives of the “Silver Heads” amongst us. So much talent and knowledge is “tied up” and lying semi-dormant in this sector of our community, I want to free and release much of this for the benefit and interest of others
-
What a load of “twaddle” I can hear in the background ..

OK! that’s fine with me, you are entitled to your own views, however, mine are somewhat different and more positive ( my glass is already half full ).

I believe that creating a central -

“ONE STOP SPOT “ a daily meeting place for all to gossip ,
spend some quality time, read daily papers, take the “weight of ones feet”
receive advise and suggestions relative to grants/benefits etc,
receive help with form “filling-in”
Have a warm tea, coffee or cold drink,
Yes! possibly learn to use the Internet,
hear and discuss daily events , news etc
-
Will help to develop a cohesion in our community.

I believe all of this can be achieved, relatively easily, relatively quickly and economically,
with the broader use of the CARNARVON ROOMS . .. ..
-
Whooo ! Hold on! .. .. Many of you will certainly think and say.
-
Why ?- will be my standard reply?
-
It is already used for other village affairs and Yes! occasionally for Hot Snacks (the proceeds going to a worth while cause )
Why can we not expand and broaden this facility - is it that there is not a need or is it simply that too many amongst us have “a glass half empty”

Communication

-
Communication! Communication! Communication !
-
Ont Saturday ( the 21st) we went down into the village centre for the annual Carol Service “sing-along”
-
There was approximate 100 individuals there , quite disappointing for a village of 4000.
-
I wondered why the attendance was so low, for it could be expected that over 50% of the number attending, would probably be the congregations of the 3 churches.
-I respectfully suggest, that the answer may not be the indifference of the community to their participation in village activities and affairs.
-
No! My opinion is - the high probability of the "absence of an awareness" in the staging of event and activities within our village
-
This opinion is re-enforced by a limited census, I personally completed, over the last week, where I asked several questions of a "cross section" of B J individuals in the village centre
-
"Can you name a B J Parish Councillor?" -
"Do you know what is happening to the B J Post Office?".-
"Have you ever used or visited B J's Poplars Sports Field?"
"Did you attend at B J's Cenotaph this years Remembrance Day.? "
"Do you use or attend any of B J's Village Clubs, Groups, Societies or Halls?"
-
The replies were both astounding, quite depressing, yet not altogether unexpected -
-
They confirmed and reinforced an opinion I have held for several months now.
-
Our Village Fathers, Administrators, Group and Society Officers should all quickly and dramically improve, implement the ongoing communication with our community developing an interest within ALL age groups of our community with their agendas, objectives and progress .
-
The Organisations and their officers should begin to adopt an aggressive/proactive, effective and "OPEN" communication programme ( broader and more frequent than is preswently existing ).
A communication programme which includes the information, useful and ALL embracing, to ALL Groups and Interests within our village community..
-
A TALL ORDER ?
-
Not so ! There is an immediate, zero cost, effective solution available to all ..
existing and constantly available
-
IT is the www/Internet/e-mail facility below (click the name) -
-
127 daily (illustrated) postings over the last 3 months

JOIN IN

-
-
-WHY YOU SHOULD "JOIN IN" - Burton Joyce Online
-
There is little doubt in my mind that generally the community spirit and interactivity of years gone by is no longer around.
-
Many of you may agree and point to the development of technology, mobile phones, the internet, easy travel etc. as well as individuals and families appearing to live more introvert lifestyles. Others will disagree strongly, I would be pleased to learn the arguments in support of your views.
-
However, what I consider is most important and is that we improve the distribution of community information and the individual awareness/participation in our village life, striving to embrace, restore and maintain an all inclusive society -
-
Word of mouth , notice boards and printed publications all have a place in distributing information and should always be present within our community, however they do not, and cannot fully contribute the wider needs of a truly open society in today’s fast moving world.
-
In today’s society, the Internet is probably more widely used and read than any other single news/information source, certainly for the younger generation, who have grown up and been educated with the medium, are now well familiar and expertised with the use of computers, e mail, the www and mobile phones.
-
**The generation not fully and I stress not FULLY or at EASE ,with these newer communication techniques are, sections of the Mature and Silver Heads who are understandably hesitant with and when applying themselves to learning the use of these new technologies **
-
For all those who ARE comfortable with the new technologies, there now is the need to fill the space ONLINE with genuine local news, announcements and current affairs - which is the precise purpose of BURTON JOYCE ONLINE and the renewed reasoning behind developing the awareness of the project.
-
This project has been geminating for some 2 years now, with purposeful regular postings and really getting into its stride this last August . It has now progressed to a point where regular daily reports are the “norm” with - news, views, faces and places - serious, amusing, sometime contentious. B J Online is now looking to broaden its appeal by encompassing reports (postings) with interests for all age groups and generations, together with the facility for readers to add their personal comments, opinions and suggestions,,. and features guest articles, competitions, even examples of responsible Street Art (displays on legitimate surfaces) and minority group interests .To create develop the genuine all embracing relationship with the total cross section of the local community
-
The project has already established itself as the genuine/original B J Online source - for local news, announcements and interests. It is independent, non-commercial, and free of colour, class and creed bias,
-
So to Local Administrators and Interest Group Secretaries - "JOIN IN" and contact with your stories, events and results etc and contribute to the B J Online community
-To all Parents - get your children to "JOIN IN"
-To Teenagers - get yourselves, friends, parents, grandparents "JOIN IN" involved
-To everyone - spread the word, have your say, and "JOIN IN"

www.burtonjoyce.blogspot.com
******************************
.“Burton Joyce Online” is a community website created for the 3 villages - BJ , Bulcote and Stoke Bardolph, its aim is to chronicle the daily news, views, faces, places - serious, amusing and sometimes contentious. “Burton Joyce Online” is a non-profit, non-commercial, non political project, free of any discrimination of colour, class or creed content
It is intended also as a community forum for discussion, suggestions and opinions, with an interactive facility for chronicling all personal opinion - with guest contributions/articles always welcome,
In addition to the ongoing chronicles ( including numerous illustrative photos and images) of the every day life in the 3 villages, there are occasional trips into the past with interesting historical facts and stories relevant to the area.
The Online project is the work of the “Burton Joyce Diarist” - a B J villager of 39 years standing, with connections to Stockingers, Farmers and Blacksmith ancestors in the village dating back to the early 1600, with possible earlier genealogy connections to Sheriffs, Mayors and Chamberlains of Nottingham.

Click n Chat

-
-

-For all those who Want to.. Need to.. Like to.. Chat to and discuss with others within our 3 villages - on any topic - serious, amusing or contentious,
-
Come on all of you join your ONLINE community, for if you are reading this "blog" you have already begun the process, so continue and “Click n Chat !” with others within this “Burton Joyce Online” website
-
Please spread the word to everyone who may be interested in chatting and gossiping ( local subjects, history, incidents etc) and improving the lifestyle of our community, particularly that of the "mature and silver heads" amongst us. There is also the ongoing opportunity for submitting regular guest articles-It is a fact that quite frequently, as we all get older, we find we become less mobile and lack the personal " get-up and go" to socialise with others of our generation. We loose contact and become more isolated and withdraw within ourselves. A regular "Click n Chat !" on this website will begin to change this frame of mind and help with making new friends and socialising again.
-
“Burton Joyce Blog” can in fact “kick start" a new and enjoyable interest in your life, more so for those who are house bound and less mobile. Of course a computer and internet service is vital to “Click n Chat !“, however, for those who are mobile there is always the free access to computers and the internet (together with instruction) at the B J Library in Meadow Lane.
So “Click n Chat !” and participate in your community via this your local website or the community site at
