The Crosspool Forum, a group of volunteers who care about the quality of life in their community, publishes the Crosspool Clarion every quarter. The Clarion reaches more than 3000 homes and features news and events that are relevant to the local residents. Some of the recent news includes; Spotlighting Shearers, local Policing, and the Devastating Blow to the Rivelin Valley.

We are always looking for stories that reflect the diversity and interests of our readers. Whether it is a school achievement, a business success, a personal challenge, or a social cause, we want to hear from you. If you have a story idea or a snippet of news, please contact us at crosspoolforum@gmail.com by Saturday 27th April, for inclusion in the summer issue. We also accept submissions of photos, videos, letters, and opinions. The Clarion is your voice and your source of information

We’re also looking for volunteers who can lend a hand with the quarterly delivery of between 50 to 80 Clarion. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, we’d be delighted to welcome you to our team!

The Sheffield Astronomical Society

If you are fascinated by the wonders of the night sky and want to learn more about astronomy and space sciences, you might be interested in joining the Sheffield Astronomical Society. This is a group of amateur enthusiasts who share their passion and knowledge with the public in the Sheffield and South Yorkshire area. They organise regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, at the Ranmoor Parish Centre – 5 Ranmoor Park Road, Sheffield S10 3GX – at 7:30pm.

At their first meeting of the month, a guest speaker is invited to share their expertise on a specific astronomy topic, usually from Sheffield University. However, thanks to Zoom, they have also hosted speakers from New Zealand and Stockholm in the past. The second meeting of the month is designed for beginners who want to learn more about astronomy. The first part of this meeting is a presentation by one of the society members on a relevant topic. After a short break, the meeting resumes with updates on current space missions, tips on what to observe in the night sky in the coming month, and any other astronomy news items.

The group aims to organize free monthly public sessions, where they showcase their telescopes and share their passion for astronomy. Depending on the season, they either observe the stars and planets at night or use special devices to safely watch the Sun during the day. You can find more information about their events and how to reach them on their website. http://www.sheffieldastro.org.uk

Crosspool Christmas Tree Recycling

If you are a Crosspool resident and looking for a way to dispose of your real Christmas tree after the festive season, why not join the Crosspool Forum in their eco-friendly initiative? They are offering a shredding service for a small donation, which will help you recycle your tree and reduce waste.

Drag your tree down to the front of Direct Travel’s premises on Sunday 7th January 2023, between 10am and 11.30am, where Andrew Clayton, a local tree specialist, will be ready to recycle it for you. The shredded material will be used for mulching and composting purposes.

The Crosspool Forum is grateful to Direct Travel for their generous support and cooperation in this project. They hope to see many Crosspool residents participate and contribute to the community’s environmental aims.
