Inspiring people - Improving places

-

- Posted in the daily “Burton Joyce Blog” in the latter part of last year twere a couple of postings describing the adverse appearance of the Old School grounds located in the most significant spot within B J Village centre.

The historic School Building and adjacent grounds is currently the base for the BTCV an organisation committed to Inspiring people - Improving places. Their stated aim is graphically publicised on the Organisation’s vehicles.

Why is it then, that the organisation has little or no pride in its own “home” ? Why is it they do not try a little harder here on their own doorstep? Why is it that from as early as the middle of last year, these grounds have been allowed to deteriorate ?. Yes, even if of late, there has been some effort to improve the situation, why is it that shrub and hedge cuttings/rubbish are left around in heaps.Why is it that the run-down hideous prefabricated “classroom”, which should have been demolished or replaced for some time now, is not given the attention it (together with the straggly shrubs presumably left to hide the eye-sore) and the village deserve.

Is there any pressing reason why this BTCV area cannot be open to the BJ village community to enjoy and pass time of the day, particularly in the nice weather ? It could also improve the frontage area of the School ( presumably part of the old playground area) if several collections of plants/flowers in containers could be included to create more colour and generally improve this bland and stark area.

Our village deserves a more caring attitude yet why should an organisation which openly promotes itself as Inspiring people - Improving places actually be blind to its own environment

Look out for the coming launch of the
Burton Joyce Online Community Portal

We will be explaining to all our readers over the next few weeks just how comprehensive this new community site is . For instance the “News Feeds” category contains so much information - constantly up-dated by the BBC and a wide range of Daily Newspapers, - (Times, Guardian, Independent, Telegraph, Financial Times, Sunday Express, Daily Mail, Mirror, Sun) - Which quite frankly means, there is little need to buy a newspaper or watch the TV News programmes

Yes! Our “News Feeds” are so comprehensive and interesting that a reader can spend hours immersed in this convenient facility within their own home and save moneyalso

Sports fans have coverage virtually second to none. Multi national Sport reports and news s are included and an avid soccer fan can even log into a “My Team” selection and used their own opinion to select their own formation of the squad players in their own favourite Football League team. This can be e-mailed direct a friend/relative anywhere in the world as a friendly wager .. .. .. Wow!
.. .. How about that as a facility in your own community Web portal ? - Pretty Good What?

We will also be covering other interesting categories within this your own community web portal. A web portal brought to you constantly by your own fellow residents, of many, many years standing.

Finally, please do not be mislead with the plethora of other “so called” B J Community sites which are constantly springing up and administed by remote operators, with little or no connection with the community it is claiming to serve.

http://www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk/ - Our own Community Web Portal is genuinely developed by, and will be operated on a day to day basis, by local Burton Joyce residents - ALWAYS
Watch out for its launch - its coming soon now

New New New

-

HOT GOSSIP ----------------www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk

It will be “HOT” and at the same time as “cool” as it can get -

Because the BURTON JOYCE ONLINE WEB PORTAL is the best independent, individual, initiative specially created to benefit ALL ages within our communities, without favour or bias for any one particular age group, business interest, leisure activity, special interest group, any level of social sector, the “haves and have-nots”, - in fact for anyone and everyone Trentside.
-
And .. .. WHY because it enables everyone to participate, suggest, complain, join in with everyone of like or different mind and interest - and YES everyone will need access to the internet, yet even though those without, can readily gain access and quite freely via the service provided by the local library
-
The aim of this ONLINE WEB PORTAL is to create a wider awareness and participation in the community activities and services which are currently available and create even more in the future when the need arises. It is also just as important for each and everyone of us to become familiar with the efforts of our local administrators at the - Parish Council, Gedling Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, Westminster M P and Euro MP, yet show no hesitation in providing constructive criticism when it is considered justified. Or at least enter into debate with others within the ONLINE FORUM facility
-
We are asking all those who visit the new ONLINE WEB PORTAL site to
-
“Log-in” and register a FREE ACCOUNT which will provide a FREE personal e-mail address and enable participation within the FORUM and POLLS, plus the contribution articles, photo images, including adding Business/Service details/adverts plus and Wanted and For Sale items.
-
When you visit the site there is much more to experience, and have no doubt, you will become hooked and inevitably make routine return visits to update yourself on the Local and National News and Weather etc for the Burton Joyce Online facility is also your online magazine constantly changing, updating and pushing back the boundaries with articles covering most local interest
-
PLUS a special section for the Ladies amongst us with a LIFESTYLE category which offers VIDEO/AUDIO access to subject such as Food & Drink, Beauty and Style, Health, Parenting etc. This category will be likened to as the “Honey Pot is to Bees”
-
There is also an Online Polls on many and varied topics/interests . With our open philosophy readers this will enable all residents to directly contribute to possible village changes with an awareness of the Poll opinions as they unfold .. ..

So keep you eye pealed the official lauch will occure around the 10th of February

A Way Ahead

-
--
Everyday life in our Nottinghamshire village”
News views, faces, places, - serious, amusing, sometime contentious
-
A totally new dedicated village, non-profit making,
community “portal style” website
-
This project is entirely, community based and non-profit making. It is presently being developed and created for launching very shortly at http://www.burtonjoyceonline.co.uk/

The project has been created to improve and develop further village communication and assist in establishing an “all-inclusive, all participating” community. The development, maintenance, updating and ongoing administration of the project will be administered by and with the existing experienced (internet/website) ownerThis new and dedicated Community website is owned and operated by myself .
-
Together with my wife, we have lived in Burton Joyce continuously since 1971, operating our own business during the greater period of this time.We committed ourselves to retirement several years ago.
-
Over the last 3 years, the vast majority of our time has been spent on leisure pursuits and researching our family history. This has revealed that our family originally came to Burton Joyce in the mid 1600’s and appears to have had a presence and served the village continually from that time - as Farmers , Land owners , Blacksmiths, Shop owners, Stockingers and Hosiery Bagmen Motor repairs, Parish Clerk, Verger, etc.
-
We intend perpetuating this community service by developing and the ongoing administration of the Burton Joyce Online community project

.
Challenge -The immediate and long term challenge is to stimulate and create awareness of the project, persuading the community to become actively involved by participating in, taking advantage of the facilities/services within the project and contributing comments, information, articles on news, views, faces and places, with serious, amusing and sometimes contentious comment
