Has Crosspool Got Talent

Bob Townrow is in the process of organising a virtual concert on Zoom at 7.30pm, Thursday March 11th. Although the concert is free, Stephen Hill Methodist and St Columba’s Church will be happy to receive donations towards their charities. Please contact Bob for details of how to contribute.

Dependent on the number of people coming forward to perform, it is anticipated that the concert will, with a short interval, last for around an hour and a half.

If you have songs to sing, music to play, poems to recite, or short pieces of writing you would like to read; a dance routine, conjuring or anything visual that would work on Zoom, please get in touch with Bob for the link.

Is there anyone you know that may be hiding their light under a bushel, and too shy or modest to come forward who you would like to see take part in the concert, if so please let Bob have their details. (Your name will not be mentioned)

If you would like to be part of the audience watching the concert, please let Bob know and he will send you the link – for what is a concert without an audience, or performers for that matter,

Crosspool Christmas

Crosspool Community Christmas

Observing social distancing, the Joy of Christmas came to Crosspool.A Brass Quartet played Christmas carols in the precinct and thanks to the Crosspool; Forum volunteers, the shops are adorned with decorated festive Christmas trees.

Making their way to a nativity doorway, up a footpath lined with over 80 decorated jam jars for the ‘Nights of Light’, visitors to Tapton Hill Church were just blown away with people’s creativity as they passed a wooden thanksgiving tree festooned with homemade decorated baubles and amazed by the beautifully decorated doors and windows on a small Nativity trail around the Tapton Hill neighbourhood.

If you would like to show your support to our local smaller business community, and haven’t already taken the opportunity to follow the Crosspool Nativity trail around Crosspool shops, you have until the 24th December to take part.

Collect your story sheet from St Columba’s Church; or email: Tara.osborne@stcolumbacrosspool.org.uk otherwise just click on the download.

When you have completed the story sheet; email: children@stcolumacrosspool.org.uk to arrange to collect your gift.

Don’t forget to wave at the shop keepers and make them smile this Christmas

Cancellation Reminder

A Reminder that this evenings Crosspool Forum Open Meeting in St Columba’s Church, is Cancelled.

As we’re sure you’re already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has meant that it’s now, more than ever, vital to limit social contact and avoid gatherings.
For that reason and to help keep everyone safe, the difficult decision was made to cancel this evening’s Open Meeting.
While we know this is disappointing, we hope you can understand our reasoning for making this decision.

If restrictions allow, it’s very much hope that the next Open Meeting will go ahead in St Columba’s Church at 7pm, on Thursday 28^th January, 2021.
