Published on by Christine Barrett Category: Uncategorized

What a fun day it was on Sunday 30th June at the Crazy Golf Family Fun Day.   We had a record day with takings.  It was great to see so many families joining in the fun.  We hope you all visit us again soon.  Councillor Gary Scott tee’d off at 12pm on the dot!  We would like to thank Dick Wolton who supplied and made the crazy golf course.  Dick is also a volunteer cleaner.  Thanks also go to Annie Sands for doing the face painting, there were a lot of happy smiley faces wandering around!  We will definitely be repeating the event next year.

On Wednesday 14th February we launched the “Cosy Cross“.  This is a warm hub running every Wednesday 12.30 – 2.30pm at The Bromley Cross pub where you can have free soup, roll, tea, coffee and biscuits.

The warm hub in run by Annie Sands and her helpers.  It has been funded by Tendring CVS and will run every Wednesday, until the end of March.  It is proving very popular so Annie is endeavoring to apply for an additional grant so we can extend the “Cosy Cross” beyond the end of March.  All are welcome.
