CPR and Defibrillator Training
Thanks to Great Bromley Parish Council and The British Heart Foundation we now have a community defibrillator outside the Cross Inn. If you want to know how to use CPR and the defibrillator then please come to our free CPR and Defibrillator Training Course on Tuesday 9th May at 7:30pm. Please phone Kate on 07592 735600 to book a place.
Art & Jazz at The Cross
Kitchen & Post Office News
When we bought the Cross back in December last year we had an empty shell of a pub. Tables and chairs were easy to source and amazingly most were donated by our wonderful friends and supporters. But a kitchen was a bit more challenging. People did donate and loan spare fridges, freezers and microwaves, but without adequate extraction and a commercial cooker, we were very limited. That said, the volunteers have done an amazing job at our food events, but we have been limited to warming up or serving food prepared elsewhere.
"Rock, Paper, Slippers" Book Launch Tour
Something new at the Bromley Cross. On Thursday 20th April Tony Shelley will be reading from his new memoir "Rock, Paper, Slippers" and answering questions. Copies of the book will be on sale with all profits going to the Alzheimer's Society.
Easter at the Cross Inn
Great Bromley Spring Litter Pick - Sunday April 9th
Now we've got our pub back, it means we've got a venue to start and finish our Great Bromley Litter Picks. So please dig out your stout footwear and rubber gloves and join us Sunday 9th April from 10 pm to help clean up the area. The pub will be open by the time you finish for free tea and coffee.
Coming Next at the Bromley Cross
Coming up on Thursday 30th March is our popular acoustic music night. Come along and listen, play, sing, tell jokes, read poetry, etc. The Tea Ladies will be there testing a few new songs and the Columbines will give us a teaser of their Saturday night performance. Geoff Darby will be our MC so anything could happen. And then we are into April.
Race Night and Vintage Cream Tea
Thanks to everyone who came to our events last weekend. I think we had our busiest night ever last Saturday 25th March with our Race Night, which raised an amazing £886 towards the refurbishment of the pub. Many thanks to all involved.
Coffee, Art, Race Nights and Vintage Cream Teas
Eclectic is the word that springs to mind this week. And I guess that's what a Community Hub has to be, in order to appeal to the whole community. As long as some people like each event, then I think we are getting it right. Please us know what you think at SaveTheBromleyCross@yaho.co.uk
