A time to reflect & think Over 10 years since the Village Hall was built Village has expanded over the last decade Playing field area is in need of refurbishment Current facilities are run at capacity Provision of facilities to meet the needs of all groups and all ages

Looking to the future Now is a time to think about what the community would like for the next 10 years and beyond What facilities have you always wished Crowle had? Additional facilities for the Village Hall? Additional or upgrading of facilities on the playing fields? New community groups & classes? New additional facilities around the village? Here are some ideas…………

New Facilities A new Pavilion by the Village Hall and Playing Field providing dedicated Changing Rooms, Kitchen, Toilets and Club Room. The Pavilion could provide additional facilities for our existing Clubs including Bowls, Football and Tennis, plus encourage new ones e.g. Table Tennis, Netball, Badminton, Cricket, Rounders, Rugby, Athletics
