Should only take a few days at this rate!

There were a lot of people who were interested in firing a black powder cannon in my last post, I was wondering if people would be down to start like a cannon club kinda thing and we can work towards getting a cannon set up and fire it? Also just talking about cannons and stuff? Can split the cost of getting a cannon and stuff so we can all say we own a cannon

I joined and subsequently left that sub after some confusion and misunderstandings. I was on a wild goose chase looking for Virginia Beach on a map of east Anglia.

Apparently there's a Norfolk somewhere in the US. Nothing to do with us.

I expect other people have done the same.

Is it too much to ask for local councillors to get on with the job they were elected to rather than picking fights with everyone including their own party colleagues?

Hi all!
I was wondering if there are any drawing classes that are available to join preferably in the afternoon or evenings? Something akin to say an evening language class but for drawing.
I’ve been trying to learn myself for a while but find the lack of feedback and structure a little difficult to deal with.
If possible I have a preference for figure drawing and landscapes and not really any interest in painting, pastel etc.

Thanks you in advance!

Goodbye Anglia Square

Hey all :)

Can anyone recommend anywhere / anyone in Norwich who may be able to take a look at my Walkman for me?

It’s been stored for a couple of years now and in that time something in the tape deck seems to have perished, got stuck or isn’t moving as it should and oh my god, the shriek that comes out of it when I try to play a tape is hideous. I think I’ve damaged my ear drums 😂

Many thanks 💜

hey, i’m a creative and i have a project i’m working on that needs like minded people. i’m in my twenties too but took a different route and never got to go to uni but wanted to know if the people there have a discord or something. i’m mainly looking for a cinematography students who interested in just shooting a bunch of stuff and maybe a stylist or fashion student. anyone of the sort, just looking for some community too. anyways if you have any info or just interested please let me know…

Lovely day out, and the flats look quite surreal.

We're coming to Norwich next weekend for a gig at UEA and staying on 23rd and 24th October.

We're a group of late 50's gents who love our live music, festivals, camping (refusing to grow old) types.

Any recommendations for pub bands on the Friday evening?

There's not much coming up via online searches and not all pubs have an online presence so looking for any recommendations.

We are staying near UEA but happy to travel.

Thanks all.

I really like Napoleonic artillery and were wondering if there were any groups around that shoot blackpowder cannons from that era? I haven't been able to find any on google but I was wondering if anyone knows of any? I just really like cannons lol

I have an fundraiser going and want to get some leaflets up around the city. Does anyone know any LGBT friendly spots that would let me put it up (it is an LGBT-related fundraiser) that would get a bit of traffic?

This is Martha Goddard. She is from Norwich, and she was arrested almost exactly a year ago. She was charged with terrorism offenses in July this year, most of these were linked to a series of arson attacks on companies in Norwich (BBC, StarBucks etc). But she has also been charged with making explosives with the intent to harm or endanger human life.

These attacks were in the name of Palestine, and were a mini protest in her mind. She was also charged with biking to the Tackelneston communications tower to use thermite to burn it down. There was not enough evidence to suggest that it was her that did this, despite there being CCTV footage and a confession letter and Thermite found in her home. This would have been her biggest charge, so it's likely that this is going to lighten her sentencing significantly.

She is being sentenced tomorrow, at Woolwich Crown Court. This is the main court for terrorism, murder and rape in the UK. It's pretty serious! There are five people also being sentenced tomorrow for protesting for Palestine Action.

So, what are people's thoughts on this? Do you know much about the case? Is this new to you? Do you think this could be a big case that will spread in the news tomorrow? Do you agree or disagree with it? I'm just intrigued, because this sort of thing doesn't really happen in Norwich, we are a quiet and chilled little slice of the UK. Very rare that we have such a high profile case.

Has anyone used any local companies for air con installation that they could recommend please?

I’d prefer to not use a big national company if I can avoid it.

Need to get my shih tzu trimmed and neatened

Can anyone recommend nice nature walks with a coffee shop on route? Happy to drive out of Norwich. Anywhere between Norwich - Lowestoft distance wise. Thanks!

Hi folks,

Bit of a stab in the dark here, as I don’t really know how to go about this but despite music (Black, Death, Symphonic metal, Goth and Industrial primarily) being at the core of who I am, I have totally lost touch with any scene that might still exist in Norwich and any friendships I had in the past.

I’d love to find some local music folk to get to know again potentially, along with recommendations for any pubs, events etc that might be worth frequenting?

It probably isn’t overly relevant, but I’m a 30s something female with quite an introverted personality but I’d like to think I’m fairly amiable to be around 😁 my introversion has made it fairly difficult to just go out there on my own and find what I’m looking for.

Trying to connect with people solely online feels like an impossible task, especially when I don’t know where I should be looking in the first place 🥲

Cheers, ta and thanks!

Can anyone recommend some places that do art and craft classes or workshops please? Open to any kind of art/craft but preferably in the city or anywhere south of Norwich. Cheers!

hi does anyone know the name of the jewellers in the haymarket markets, I think it begins with gold I went there last year but can’t seem to find the name of it online and wondered if anyone knew if it was still there

Now that these are to become permitted development does anyone know if it will be feasible to actually get one of these put in? Like many (most?) people in Norwich I do not have my own driveway. I have an EV but cannot charge it at home because the council will not allow a gully to be cut.

The on-street charger is useless here, one is in the car club bay and the other is always blocked by another vehicle, often not an EV (but if it was another EV I still couldn't use it).

Other councils have successful schemes running, Norwich has refused to do it, I think they want to try to force everyone on to using the on street chargers so they can make money from those, but those don't work here as I've said.

Several of us in the street have EVs it's not just me; parking is at a premium and there is never realistically going to be the option of one car finishes charging, moves further down the street so another car can take the charging space (the street is rightly one-way which makes it harder too). Plus the charger is at the back of the bay, my socket is at the front of the car and the (standard CCS) cable almost doesn't reach I have to dangle it precariously to make it fit even backing right up to the edge of the bay marking.

Will the change to permitted development status now force the council to allow these gullies to be cut, obviously to standards/in compliance with regs that's fair enough? I imagine it could make a big difference to the many people in Norwich with EVs but unable to charge them at home.

(I work odd hours so can basically always park outside my house as when I'm coming back everyone else is off at work; not everyone is as lucky and I realise that).

Can anyone recommend a playwriting course in town? I don't want to do a university degree and am after something fairly short, like a few weeks or months. TIA!

Recently moved to the area where the house has been empty for two+ years. The oven is built in Electric likely from the early 90s. Seems to turn on, but I'm apprehensive to use it until it's been checked over. So any recommendations for someone who can do a service on an old oven?

Thanks

Hiya! I'm interested in observing Norfolk based artists/crafters/makers. I'd love to spend an afternoon or two speaking about, recording, and observing your work. You don't have to consider yourself an artist, you just have to make things and care about the process.

My primary intention is to use it for creative and CNF writing about physical processes of making, but I may also take photos, do drawings, make zines, write articles about it. I would keep anyone updated on this.

I will be especially observing physical processes, the way your hands move when making, and how the material you make with responds.

I'm interested whether you're a potter, a painter, a carpenter, a welder, a hair dresser, nail tech whateverrrr

Hiya, we are new to Norwich with a 5 year old who's very excited about the idea of Halloween for the first time.

I'm wondering if there are any Halloween events in the city centre, I assume a pumpkin patch will be easy to find, but I'm mostly looking for some fun kids events if there are any.

Also wondering what tick or treating is like around here?
