WHATS ON

BREAKING NEWS

Pro Action – Herts. is a “a proactive organisation that supports and encourages quality voluntary youth provision throughout the county”. http://pro-actionherts.org/default.aspx

The organisation currently has a “RURBAN” project that offers 8 weeks free multi sports activities with equipment and an instructor (with plenty of equipment left with the host organisation). Pro Action provides support to local groups – from scouts, all manner of voluntary groups to Parish or local councils!!

It would appear Croxley Green has a good central venue in its village hall (?) - see below, access to professional assistance from Pro Action and ... impetus. What is required is a sub –committee or a small group of committed individuals to take ownership of organising activities of this nature (and more).

If you are interested in helping to get something off the ground then please contact us at croxleyresident@gmail.com or on 01923 778660

And talking of the Village Hall.... - the Community Association annually receives the equivalent of £1 per electoral roll resident from the Parish Council. This grant led to the use of the Community centre hall as our Village Hall (free of charge for community related matters) with the added benefit of free membership to the Community Association. However, many of you will have recently received a letter from the Association asking for a £3 annual membership fee. Apparently, at a recent Association AGM, important decisions were made that may now prevent local residents from using the Village Hall and remove the free membership concession. We may be mistaken about this but the Association has not responded to our correspondence on the matter or provided us with a copy of the minutes of the AGM. We invite the Community Association to contact the CGRA and My Croxley News to clarify its position.
