BJ Community NHW Inaugural Open day - organised subsequent to the previous
organisation fell apart as the unfortunate result of the national NHW 2006 demise
and and personal predicament of the then village co-ordinator.
The result and attendance at the Open day illustrated clearly the positive attitude
and reception of those in the community to the acceptance and ethos of the NHW
by the recruitment of 25 Street Co-ordinators added to the existing 13.
All achieved in just 11 days of publicising the re-formation of the Community NHW
The BJ village location produces many exquisite scenes due to its attractive
almost due south location built into/alongside a geographic fault line and the River Trent
Flood Plain providing an oversight/looking south over two horizons

The River Trent has always been Nottms/BJ's water access to the East Coast. Plus the
direct route inland for the marauding Vikings raiders and the Romans.Current it provides
excellent leisure facilities for Boaters and Anglers
Narrow boaters, Motor launches, sailing boats, canoes and water skiers are
invariably seen locally PLUS of course the speedier ways for a water traveller
Neither "Burt nor Joyce" this time A local favoured leisure, walking/strolling spot,
a recently completed Flood defence system - "Julie O'Neill Way"- (unofficially named
in recognition of her tireless work to ensure BJ village was provided with protection
from the elements. Regretfully "Julie" was taken away from us prematurely . ).
