Your suggestions wanted for a local hero to reopen Crosspool Tavern

Crosspool Tavern is closing for refurbishment at 8pm on Sunday 26 April, with the intention of reopening at 5pm on Thursday 30 April.

For the main opening event on ~~Friday 1 May~~ Thursday 30 April, Julia the manager is asking for your help.

Rather than getting a dignitary or celebrity to reopen the pub, Julia would like to find a local hero to do the honours. She explains: “It could be someone old or young who has helped in the community or raise money for charity; someone who has suffered a major illness or personal tragedy; or someone who has given their all for their country.”

If you have someone in mind you would like to nominate please pop in to the pub, call Julia at the Tavern on 0114 266 2113 or message Crosspool Taven via its Facebook page., giving the name of your suggested person and reasons why you’re nominating them. The best suggestions will be put to a vote.

Crosspool Brass quintet looking for musicians

Do you want to be part of a new Crosspool-based brass quintet?

Former British Army musician and Nicholas Barrett was part of similar groups during his time in the forces and is looking to set one up in Crosspool.

The Crosspool resident explains: “Inspired by the world-famous Canadian Brass, the group will perform a mix of musical styles. Initially it would be a rehearsal group, but we’d have a view to performing at community, charity and professional events.

“It would be great if we could have more players so we could pull from a pool to perform. There’s no age restriction, we’re just looking for committed players who want to make a good sound. The ideal standard would be grade 5 and above.”

Nicholas is looking for the following players:

Trumpet or Cornet
Trombone
French Horn or Tenor Horn
Tuba

Crosspool Brass is also looking for a local pub function room or community space to allow us a couple of hours a week to rehearse if possible.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in joining this group Crosspool brass group or have somewhere we can rehearse, get in touch via @crosspoolbrass on Twitter, Facebook or enquiries@trumpetman.co.uk.

Crookes local council ward could be renamed Crookes and Crosspool in time for the 2016 elections.

The proposed new electoral arrangements must now be implemented by parliament, with the hope that the changes will come into force for the council elections next year.
