We are sorry to tell you that we have given up hope of any further Crich Heritage Meetings this year. This includes cancelling the AGM in November, fortunately the officers and committee are willing to carry on. The accounts will roll over to next AGM, which we hope will be November 2021. 

Corinne has been working behind the scenes cancelling the speakers for this year, and mostly booking them in for next year so we have a full programme planned. We look forward to meeting you all back at the Glebe when it is safe to do so.

Chair and Committee Crich Heritage.’

There is one more week for you to send in your favourite art work or craft piece to Clare Limb for display in the Community Art Sharing on 10th & 11th October at The Glebe.

We would like you to send in your favourite piece of art or craft that you made during lockdown. It can be in any genre or form (including digital art, photography, sculpture, needlework, pottery, poem, a dance, a song, whatever you like!). If you could email me a picture of what it is then that would be great clarelimb68@gmail.com.

Please accompany your entry with a few lines about what the piece means to you that you would be happy to share with other people who may view it.

If you would like to arrange for your artwork to be collected, or just want to chat through what you are thinking of submitting, then give me a call on 07813 049556.

All ages welcome!

Following the success of Outdoor Popalong, which took place as part of the children's summer activities arranged by some members of the Crich Patient Participation Group, Popalong Outdoors will continue during September. Some popalong families and volunteers had been meeting each Friday online for a virtual singalong, but the first in person sessions were held at the end of August. These were such a success, that it is planned that they will continue throughout September and ways to support families as the weather changes and outdoor meetings become more difficult are being explored. More details will be shared here as plans are finalised. 

Popalong meets in the garden of the Weslayan Chapel, on Chapel Lane, Crich each Friday during September. Sessions run from 9.30-11.30 and are for children up to 3 years old.

Sessions are held safely, with limited group sizes, social distancing amongst adults and hygiene measures in place. 

PLACES MUST BE BOOKED.

Please contact Lynda Gray to reserve your place by emailing jimlynday.gray@btopenworld.com 

Stop Press! These sessions are now FREE of charge!

We have had a fantastic response to our fundraising appeal, and can now offer the Children’s Nature Connection sessions on Monday 17th and Monday 24th August at just £5 for the session. This should be a great opportunity to get children outside and engaged with nature!

Of course, safety is our highest priority. Course organisers have all completed risk assessments to ensure your children are safe. Please ask to see this if you are concerned.

The following measures will be in place:

• Most of our sessions are outside, but we still expect people to observe social distancing
• All participants will be expected to wash hands or use hand sanitiser before and after the session
• All equipment will be cleaned before and after the session
• Adults may be required to wear masks

Please bring your own drinks and remember sunscreen and hats for outdoor sessions.

To book onto the nature sessions, or for more information about them, please contact claire@growoutside.co.uk or 07960 249816.
