The Crosspool community website run by Crosspool Forum
Thanks to the high standard of the photographs submitted by local residents, all 300 of the 2016 Crosspool Calendars have now been snapped up.
Crosspool Forum would like to give a big thank you to all the photographers and advertisers who entered into the community spirit to make the Crosspool calendar a must-have Christmas acquisition.
Money raised will go towards Crosspool Forum funds for local events and improvements to our neighbourhood.
A new calendar featuring Crosspool scenes will go on sale in local shops this week.
Many of the photos in the calendar are once again taken by local residents and there are also some archive shots showing familiar locations looking very different from times gone by.
The 2016 Crosspool calendar is available from Wednesday for just £4 from the Crosspool Pets, Enhance, GT News and Charisma and at the Open Meeting on Thursday 29 October.
Last year’s calendar sold out after two reprints so get yours while you can!
Money raised will help Crosspool Forum funds for local events and improvements to our neighbourhood.
There are just over four weeks left to send in any photos you’d like considering for next year’s Crosspool Calendar.
The deadline to submit your pictures is Wednesday 30 September.
If you own any of your own photos – old or new – that you’d like to be considered for inclusion in the 2016 calender, please email them to crosspoolforum@fsmail.net, with the subject line ‘2016 calendar photos’ remembering to include your name, address and telephone number.
We’re after a variety of views, eras and seasons and it doesn’t matter if your photo is taken on a cheap camera or phone.
Remember, you must own the copyright for any photo that you submit. And by sending us the photo you agree that we can use it on the Crosspool Calendar, Crosspool News website, social media and for any other promotional means.

To avoid disappointment Crosspool residents are advised to purchase the Crosspool Calendar as soon as possible as stocks are rapidly running low and no
further copies will be available.
The calenders are on sale now for £4 in Crosspool Pets and Enhance hairdresser.
Crosspool Forum would like to thank everyone who submitted photographs for the photograph competition for entry within this years calendar.
Special congratulations go to Hilda Hinchcliffe for submitting the winning photograph which can be seen on the front of the publication and shows a white Crosspool as
experienced by the whole community since boxing day.

The final batch of 2015 Crosspool calendars will go on sale this week after the first two print runs sold out.
The initial 100 calendars sold out in a few days, so Crosspool Forum decided to print another 100. The second batch sold out just as quickly and with a waiting list of people wanting calendars the decision was taken to print a final 100.
The first 20 or so of these calenders should be on sale now for £4 in Crosspool Pets and Enhance. The final 80 are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday morning.
The calendar features Crosspool scenes from over the years. Many of the photos in the calendar are taken by local residents, plus there are some archive shots showing familiar locations looking very different in times gone by.

Snow falling in Crosspool over the last 36 hours has caused problems on local roads and disruption to public transport and events.
The snowfall in Crosspool seems to be around 15cm, although the wind has caused drifts in some places of up to 50cm.
The 51 bus has been disrupted, with a Saturday morning update on the Travel South Yorkshire website stating the service was terminating at Brook hill and Gleadless.
The snow is still falling, with main roads and side roads not clear at 11am today. Some forecasts are indicating that the snow may ease off this afternoon.
Do check up on your neighbours who may feel isolated and vulnerable during the cold spell.
