(Just a quick yes or no would suffice) ;) Wed, 08 Sep 2010 07:57:41 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/crowland-wildlife-group/moth-night#2196 How lovely! I think it will probably be dark by then. Do we bring our own Tilley Lamps? :S Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:26:36 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/the-village-green/double-yellow-lines/Page-3#2190 That's what I said, didn't I? BTW, what is "decrimilisation"? Did you mean "decriminalisation"? Do we need spell-checker on this site?

And I'd strongly recommend that you don't pay any attention whatsoever to JuanCornetto's knowledge of the weather. :P He's just jealous that he didn't manage to claim the username "Grumpy Old Man". ;) Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:49:06 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/the-village-green/what-would-you-do#2149 I would have said something to him. But then again I am 6ft 3 and quite prepared to stand up to any one regardless of build etc. Its a difficult one if your not my size. Saying that I once watched a pub landlady of around 5ft and 50ish grab a young man bigger then me and physically kicked him out of the pub. Now she was scary! Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:00:06 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/the-village-green/one-stop-community-information-centre#2145 the lady from SHDC rang back this afternoon and said that she had spoken to a lady called karen Johnson who is the community development person at SHDC. She is going to tel me next week to arrange to meet. If anyone else would like to be present when we meet let me know. Nice one BD. :clapping: Well done !! :good: I would be interested but my being available for a meet will depend, very much, on the date and time.

What I am seeing now is it getting less bright and disappearing quicker as it goes East even before (in perspective from my sight in Crowland) it goes over the Wash, although in real terms I would have thought it's probably well over Germany and heading for Turkey. Autumn draws near.

That shop and Capes Fruit 'n' Veg were allegedly going to be demolished for development into dwellings but I see they are currently up for sale. Anyone know what is happening there now ???

One of the rules of a good forum is that people listen to each others points of views and opinions but don't get drawn into making personal attacks on each other. I'd say that's even more important in a forum where people live in close proximity and share some aspects of their lives (oops, wrote loves by mistake)! To my mind a forum like this is supposed to bring the community closer together so a little give and take is the order of the day.(too bad you 'took' the posts but you've shown you are sorry) Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:13:22 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/the-village-green/sk8r-boyz#2036 The last time I saw some they were at the end of your road! Also I've seen them in the school playground but that was a long time ago.

Sorry don't have his number but you could try Danny Jackson 07708652313. If no joy let me know and I'll ask my son who plays for them if he has his number. Sat, 21 Aug 2010 10:50:37 +0100 http://www.crowland-links.com/index.php/crowland-wildlife-group/bird-sightings/Page-6#2020 We had a gang of starlings in the other day. All fighting for the bird bath! Once they all finished a flock of sparrows swept in and started the same routine in the bird bath. They certainly made me smile!

The new venue will still be in Crowland, and as I mentioned above I have been able to secure the same day and time (Thursdays 7pm to 9pm) so the disruption to your weekly plans should be absolutely minimal. The new venue from October, will be The Crowland G S Hall (Formerly the crowland scout and guides hall) Snowden Fields Thorney Road Crowland The GS Hall from the front. The G S hall has been recently renovated and suits the size of our class much better. Although I really have enjoyed teaching in the British Legion Hall it is clear we do not yet have the numbers to support the costs for hiring the current venue on an on going basis. I hope you understand that I consider that either increasing the fees or closure of the club is an absolute last resort and, we are still in the early days of the establishment of the club in Crowland, and as the club grows and expands in the future I will continue to review the situation to ensure we get the best value for money when hiring venues and that the venue accommodates the class size adequately. There are currently no plans to increase fees or to close the club. I should note here that we continue to train and meet on Thursdays at the British Legion Hall throughout August and September. Thank you for your continued support for the club and if you have any interested family or friends thinking of joining us please can you pass on this change of venue information to them prior to the first training session in the new venue which will be Thursday 7th October 2010. A notice will appear shortly on the Legion notice board.

They were feeding for ages, but drat... camera battery flat. By the time had some charge in battery, one had flown away but managed to take snap of one remaining. Realise these would be impossible to catch, but if someone has lost these at least it might help to know they are alive and well and found a food source.
