Galleries of Justice Below is copy of letter I received requesting volunteers for the Galleries of Justice. ‘After several discussions with the Chief Constable we have offered to undertake a survey of the historical objects/artefacts and archive material held within Nottinghamshire Constabulary’s stations and Head Quarters. The survey will assist the museum and Nottinghamshire Constabulary to assess the collections historical significance and importance with the view to provide permanent storage and hopefully a new exhibition illustrating the history of Nottinghamshire Constabulary at our museum. The roles for the volunteer is basically therefore, anyone who would be willing to give a day or two over to travel to the various stations and HQ to list and record objects/archives held within them.

Nottinghamshire Constabulary Bowls Club (yes, the word Constabulary has been retained) is a section of Nottinghamshire Police Sports & Social Club. The section has about 35 members, male and female, made up up of a tiny number of serving officers with the majority retired officers and their families with some associate members. We play about 70 competitive games per season, which runs from May to September. Since we lost the bowling green at Epperstone Manor in 2003 we play our home games on Nottingham City Council's greens and we currently play at Valley Road, Sherwood (close to the City Hospital). We play in FIVE different leagues embracing the the two codes of flat green bowls, EBA and EBF. Serving and retired officers also have the opportunity to represent Police Sport UK in various regional, national and international games. We are keen to recruit new members whether they have played previously or not. Tuition and advice is readily available.

Phil's in the swim again! NARPO member Phil Pendleton who is chairman of Cancer Care And Research Support (Nottingham), is starting to prepare for his usual mad swim in the North Sea on Boxing Day this year. Phil has worked out that over the past 9 years he has managed to raise in the region of £20000 for cancer charities in the annual event which takes place at Sunderland. Phil says, " I suppose raising that amount of money is what pushes me on to do it every year. I hope that NARPO and my former colleagues are able to assist me once again." "This year money raised by sponsorship will go towards HAYWARD HOUSE and CANCER RESEARCH UK." Phil can be contacted at Flat 3, Claremont, 7 North Road, The Park, Nottingham NG7 1AL or by email phlinda (at) tiscali.co.uk. Any cheques please to Cancer Care and Research Support.
