New COWGIRLS' LEGENDS + group!
by Sally Wood 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

Ey up cows old and new, me and Tam had a chat today and have come up with the idea of starting a group for *retired, injured or otherwise non-footballing Cowgirls*. The primary aim is for those who are no longer going to training to stay connected and keep a sense of belonging to the club - whether it’s through other sporting activities, wider club activities/tours or any other special adventure that comes our way. The idea is that it's definitely *not a place to chat football* - which can be a bit sad/isolating for folks who can't play any more. Many retirees are no longer on the various chats so miss out on stuff, and might also feel like they're no longer welcome at team events if they don't play any more - which is nobody's fault, but this is just to plug that gap. It may also become a place where new folk who want to be involved with the ethos of the Cowgirls but for whatever reason don't want to play football can get involved and get to know us, but we can see how it evolves. The link to join the whatsapp group is: https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2Oc00qOqih4C3fOghmSaH Remember... ‘Once a Cowgirl, Always a Cowgirl’ ❤️ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.woodandsteele.co.uk https://eastoncowfolk.org.uk/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGM on Tuesday 31st Jan....Madonna might be there!
by Lizzie Winter 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Hi Cows, That time has rolled round again... it's the one you've all been waiting for.... IT'S THE AGM! When? Tuesday 31st January 1900 - 2030 In person. I can try to set up a hybrid meeting on zoom if folk need. Where? Easton Community Centre Kilburn St, Easton, Bristol BS5 6AW. Why? The main item is to vote in the new cowmittee for next year. Some members of the current cowmittee may want to step down after doing an almighty job over the past year, others may want to continue to hold the power that lies in their hands. Attached is a list of roles and who currently does them. [https://res-geo.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/docx_16x16.png]<https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoVRCqErSvUfiBrSxSWcXbb4jzo2> Cowmittee roles and names Feb 2022-Jan 2023.docx<https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoVRCqErSvUfiBrSxSWcXbb4jzo2>. Also on the agenda: * How to manage a second training session, where, who runs it, when etc (anyone else have a feeling of deja vu?!) * Round up the discussion on our name * Feelings about our online presence * Social events * Volunteering opportunities * Christmas meal * Anything else on your mind. Please let me know and I'll add it to the agenda. For those who have not attended a meeting before, it's a really great way of getting to know the club and how things work so please come along even if you don't say a word. If you have an idea about how to improve things or you want to share your perspective on what is working well, come on down and stick your oar in. The club only works as well as it does because people do stuff to make it work. You could be one of those people who do stuff. Bring snacks, ideas, a drink, your rabbit, concerns, a hat, plans or a blanket. Or nothing, just turn up. I attach the minutes from our last QGM for your perusal. Big Cow Love, Lizzie PS I doubt Madonna will be there, but who knows......

Fwd: We need your objections NOW!
by Becs Swist 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hello all, I'm not sure if all of you are aware, but there is a stunning Art Deco Cinema on Church Road, hidden behind what used to be a Wetherspoons. There are about 200 seats, ceiling decorations etc etc all still there - it's stunning. The building as been purchased on the quiet by a building developer, who initially submitted plans to entirely gut the building and turn it into 10 or 15 or something like that flats of multiple occupancy, each with 4 or 5 bedrooms and shared kitchens, so housing something like 45 or 50 people in a rather tight space. They said they would make a community space by including a 10-seater cinema (WTF?!)... the planning permission got over 900 comments objecting to the proposed plans, and was withdrawn before the council could make a decision. There have been some supposed 'community engagement' meetings with the developer but they have basically re-submitted the same plans again, just before Christmas. Yes, more housing is needed in Bristol, I do not deny that. But we also need community spaces. And the opportunities with this building are immense. There are all kinds of exciting plans that would be so so so much better than cramming lots of single folk into a space and most likely making it very transient. We do not have long to make our objections known, as it was re-submitted before Christmas whilst we were all in a haze of chocolate and cheese. If you like the idea of a community hub / cinema / event space in Redfield / St George please take a moment to object the planning application. I'll try to write my text tonight, and will share that if people want to copy and paste. We have achieved a similar win previously when it was about flats at the back of All Hallows - let's do it again! This is the link to the planning application: 22/06037/F | Proposed change of use and extension of existing building to create a scheme of 13 x HMO Cluster Units (44 beds) together with associated Gym and Communal Workspace facilities (Sui Generis). Change of use of Drinking Establishment floorspace (Sui Generis) to Commercial floorspace (Sui Generis) | 203 Church Road Redfield Bristol BS5 9HL <https://pa.bristol.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=…> Thanks Cows! Becs xxx ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Redfield <redfieldcinema(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 at 18:56 Subject: We need your objections NOW! To: <rebecca.swist(a)gmail.com> The new plans for St George's Hall were submitted on the 22nd of December and went live on the planning portal on Friday. The new plans for St George's Hall were submitted on the 22nd of December SUBMIT YOUR OBJECTIONS ASAP!! The new plans went live on the planning portal on Friday. As Landrose logged the application just before the Christmas break we may only have a matter of days to tell the planners what we think, we are hoping it will be longer but we urge you - do not delay - please continue your amazing support by logging into the planning portal and lodge a new objection. One of the most vital points anyone could make in a written objection is how Landrose's plans are not at all in line with BCC's Local Plan Review and High Streets Recovery initiative: "This policy aims to support a network of accessible centres in Bristol as key focuses for development and as the principal locations for shopping and community facilities as well as local entertainment, art and cultural facilities. All the centres are essential to the vitality of the city, the diversity of its shopping provision and to social inclusion, helping to reduce car dependency by providing services close to homes". Church Road was named as a 'Priority High Street' in this plan. As such we believe that giving up the best opportunity this high street has for a community hub in favour of high density single occupancy housing, completely contradicts what the Council says should be happening here. One more top tip, write your objection in a document, then copy and paste it to the portal once you are happy with it. Then you won't lose all your hard work if there's a glitch in the Matrix. *The Take Action Now button below will take you to the planning portal.* ***PUBLIC MEETING*** Bethesda Church Friday 13th Jan from 6.30-8pm Hear the results of the public consultation, the outline vision, and practical next steps for fighting this development, and working towards something better for the whole community. A HUGE thank you from all the team for your continuing support. Hope to see you at the public meeting on Friday. There are some great tips on the Facebook page for writing your planning objection...

Feedback from a cowmmittee meeting
by Lizzie Winter 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Hi Cows, We had a cowmittee meeting last night because Manchester Laces have asked for our support in their stance against the current FA policy regarding trans players. We submitted our support and will hopefully be on their website soon. https://manchesterlaces.co.uk/campaign Trans Equality Campaign — Manchester Laces<https://manchesterlaces.co.uk/campaign> Charlton invicta fc. Charlton Invicta support trans inclusion in sport aligned with each person’s gender. Additionally, Non-binary folk are either being totally excluded or forced to play as a gender that is illegitimate to them. manchesterlaces.co.uk I've attached the minutes so have a read and let me know what you think and we can discuss it at our next meeting/after training.

Re: [Easton-Cowgirls] Feedback from cowmmittee meeting
by Beth Simpson 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

Hiya, >From my perspective as a transwoman and a new-ish Cowgirl who has been in this club a looong looong time is we should keep it as the Easton Cowgirls Why? Because we have a proud history that shouldn't be discarded. Over two decades now and a huge contribution to developing the women's game in Bristol. Because as a club we show inclusivity not through changing something essential to the club like its name but by how we treat each other - our fellow team mates, other teams, new players. I am still bowled over by how my news was greeted by everyone in July. And for my first league game the other week, I can't you all how happy that made me feel! This club is amazing and that is a testament to the hard work a lot of people have put in over years to foster an inclusive, welcoming environment. And because...I don't mind using the phrase Cowfolk as a colloquial shorthand for 'Cowboys and Cowgirls' but as an official name? Nah...it reminds me too much of the Tetley Teafolk. It sounds a bit naff. That's my tuppence worth anyway.. See you all soon, Beth x
