We love Bognor - A photographic celebration to Big up Bognor by Tommy McMillan

The Bognorian Species

So far 6 distinct categories of Bognorian have been identified:

1. BigBog - someone who naturally likes to Big up Bognor (quite rare but unmistakably remarkable) 
2. BagBog - a hybrid transformational from a Bog, Beg, Bug or Byg (quite rare, often adorned with a big splash of colour and exuberance, likely to become more common over time in favourable conditions)
3. BogBog - someone who can take Bognor or leave it (most common and may take on many different guises)
4. BegBog - someone who wants something from Bognor (not uncommon and needs the right conditions to develop the full plumage)
5. BugBog - someone who is pre-disposed to trashing Bognor (by no means common, easy to spot, can be quite noisy)
6. BygBog - someone who thinks Bognor has passed its sell-by date (quite common and can appear to lack colour, especially during the moulting season)

See how many of each category you can spot around town.

An inspirational rant from the Great Shane Matthew Glasspool

Shane Matthew at The Pier Hotel, Bar And Diner.

Sorry to post this rant here.

I am fed up of seeing people ripping this town to pieces and doing little more than blaming the council for all the problems.

If you don't like the way this town is, put your keyboards down and do something to change it. Sitting on your ass moaning about how the council haven't done this and the council haven't done that will achieve nothing.

Some of us thought and felt the same, now, together with a few other groups of people, we are installing a town wide heritage and arts trail. Doesnt seem like much but it will make the town a better place cosmetically.

If just 10% of the keyboard warriors on here bothered to act on their views, can you imagine how amazing this town, where we all CHOSE to live, would really be.

The heritage and arts trail is just the beginning, we have plans to improve every aspect of this town, you want to moan, do so, but don't moan if you don't do anything to justify your morbid lazy attitude towards improving things.

The links below will take you to a group that meets WEEKLY on a Wednesday at my bar, The Pier Hotel. Visit the site, leave your comments then also, leave the safety of your armchairs and keyboards and come down and have your say in public.

To anyone who says, but it isn't down to us, guess what, it is.

Rant over. You want the town to be better, get up and MAKE IT BETTER!!!!!

From the bottom up......

HubBuB at 6 @ The Pier Bar Hotel

This is how people can truly take back control: from the bottom up

“Turning such initiatives into a wider social revival means creating what practitioners call “thick networks”: projects that proliferate, spawning further ventures and ideas that weren’t envisaged when they started.

They then begin to develop a dense, participatory culture that becomes attractive and relevant to everyone rather than mostly to socially active people with time on their hands.

The process typically begins with projects that are “lean and live”: they start with very little money and evolve rapidly through trial and error. They are developed not by community heroes working alone, but by collaborations between local people. These projects create opportunities for “micro-participation”: people can dip in and out of them without much commitment

When enough of such projects have been launched, they catalyse a deeper involvement, generating community businesses, co-operatives and hybrid ventures, which start employing people and generating income.

A tipping point is reached when between 10% and 15% of local residents are engaging regularly.

Community then begins to gel, triggering an explosion of social enterprise and new activities, that starts to draw in the rest of the population.

The mutual aid these communities develop functions as a second social safety net.

The process, the study reckons, takes about three years.

The result is communities that are vibrant and attractive to live in, which generate employment, are environmentally sustainable and socially cohesive, and in which large numbers of people are involved in decision-making.”

Big up Bognor
"Big Up" Bognor is an idea to create an integrated social network to celebrate beautiful Bognor Regis.
BuB is inclusive for all those who love Bognor Regis, including individials, businesses, municipals and social groups.
Designed to allow anyone to access all available information about community networks and events in Bognor Regis.

Bognor Heritage Story

There's a bit of a HubBuB around town about the new Bognor Heritage Trail.  Some say that it should be more than just a physical arts trail with information points at various locations, which in itself would be fun - but is it enough?  What could possibly transform a simple heritage trail into something different for Bognor?  Something that would covey the full richness of our story and give an idea of who we really are and what we would aspire to be.

Pat Upstone Pond For Tourists as well. 
Walk the trail to keep fit, while learning The Heritage of Bognor Regis.

Graham Diggens would be great to have photos /drawings of the buildings that have been destroyed displayed at the original positions-so much has been lost

Michele Redford Sylvia Endacott would be a font of knowledge, we once did an evening walk round Bognor with her and it was brilliant
Sylvia Endacott Thank you for your kind comments

John Watling Could you do info points that give information on the history of the town but also ads from local cafes/pubs/shops, if they pay for advertising it help fund the project.
