    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 . ).
