Did you go to Cringleford school? As the School moves from the premises where it began in the 1850’s, to a new site in Round House Park,, Cringleford Historical Society is working with the school to write its history. Pat Wagstaff, the society's Secretary takes up the story: ' We think that many people in the village will have memories, photographs and souvenirs which they would be willing to share. The Church Hall has been booked for two sessions: Monday 18th March 3.00 – 5.00 and Wednesday 10th April 10.00 – 12.00. Please come and talk to us, bring your written memories of the school and any photographs and memorabilia which you may have and would be happy to have photographed or copied.'
Cringleford Community Cafe - For details click here
A group of Cringleford residents has come together to explore setting up a community project. As a group who are passionate about community - we enjoy curry nights, quizzes, picnics craft and book groups... anything really as we simply enjoy making connections with people - we wanted to let Cringleford residents know about our community survey, and to ask people to fill it out online: http://moot.polldaddy.com/s/cringleford-community-cafe.
Cringleford Fund Raising Appeal
For many years St Peter’s Church and Church Hall have played an important part in the life of the village. After all, you do not need to be religious to admire the beautiful church or indeed to take part in the many community activities that are held in the hall. Both assets are now in need of some TLC – which costs money. Funds are needed for a range of projects including: replastering and decorating the church nave, re-roofing the hall, and improving the heating in the hall. Additionally plans are afoot to establish a community café on Roundhouse Park (see above), a project which will also need funding. In December an appeal was launched to raise: £80,000 for Church improvements, £55,000 to complete work on the Church Hall and £20,000 to plan and run a community café. You can send donations to the Parish Office & Resource Centre, St Peter’s Church Hall Centre, Newmarket Road, Cringleford, NR4 6UE. Options are also available to sponsor specific pieces of work. For further information on how to donate please contact Rev. Heather Butcher (01603 458467).
Join the Cringleford Litter Pickers
This new group has been formed to pick up litter in the local area once a month for around 45 minutes - followed by coffee and cake. Anyone interested in joining please contact pip Pyper on 01603 458187.
New Leader needed for 1st Cringleford Rainbows
This is the youngest section of the Guide organisation and is aimed at girls (only) aged 5 to 7 years. We meet on a Wednesday evening from 4.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. in the Guide hut at Cringleford. Our aim is to learn whilst having fun by working through a programme called ‘Look Learn Laugh Love.’ Our activities include learning new skills, doing craft work, playing games and trips out. Sadly unless a new leader comes forward the unit will be closed in September, which will be a great shame as the group is full and we even have a waiting list. We are preferably looking for someone who has experience or is willing to complete training for a Guide Association qualification. If you are interested please call Paula Aspland on 01493 393555.
Free Outdoor Gym Sessions
FREE Outdoor Gym sessions run by qualified instructors which include fitness circuits and gentle cardiovascular work are being held every Tuesday and Thursday, from 6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. for 6 weeks from Tuesday 14th May.
All sessions are designed to suit people of all abilities aged 12 and over.

If you would like a copy, please send a £2 cheque payable to the Yare Valley Society, along with a self-addressed, stamped A5 envelope to: John Thurman, 20, Bluebell R0ad, Eaton NR4 7LF.
