COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
With 2023 now behind us and a New Year started we are going to take look back on last year, which has for us been the first full year of “normal” events and activities since 2019, after which Covid changed a lot of things
Firstly, we would like to say a big thank you to you, the residents of Grange Moor, who have supported us in so many ways this year. It has been a great year for us and thank you for sharing this with us
Our Residents Lunch Club has taken off and we ended the year with the highest number of Members joining us for Lunch since we launched this nearly 4 years ago (interrupted of course by the Covid Pandemic!) We had had 4 Resident Lunch last year including what has now become a firm resident favourite, The Residents Christmas Lunch which in 2023 became the first of our resident lunches to become fully booked in advance of the day, taking just 4 days to fill all the places available!
Membership is open to all residents, but is particularly aimed at those who are around the village regularly during the week
Our pride and joy is perhaps, our Community Fish & Chip deliveries, started in June 2020 as a one off - we have now made 27 deliveries and are planning further deliveries in 2024.
The Community Fish & Chip deliveries are open to all Grange Moor residents, at no cost as we have secured funding which will currently take us to September 2024.
We encourage residents to nominate someone who they feel would appreciate the delivery of a hot meal, residents can of course request a delivery for themselves
We deliver to residents’ homes within the main built-up area of the village, thanks to a fantastic team of volunteers
We have, of course, to give a huge thanks to George & Kayla at Grange Moor Fisheries who have been a great support since we first raised the idea with them back in the depths of lock down
Coffee @ The Pavilion is now firmly established as regular monthly coffee morning and we invite any one who is around during the week on the third Wednesday of each month to join us for coffee, conversation and company with invited guests sharing with us
Our Race Day in October is now re-established as a regular event and a great fun afternoon out helping to raise funds for both ourselves and the Bowling Club
In 2024 we are already looking forward to a number of other events that we hope you will join us
We are planning 4 Resident Lunches and 8 Community Fish & Deliveries
In April we will be holding a fund-raising Coffee Morning for The Forget Me Not Childrens Hospice
In June we will having the formal “Opening Ceremony” for our Miniature Memorial Park

The Community Association Meetings are held on the first Tuesday in the month (Autumn & Winter) and move to the first Monday in the month from April to September during the Bowling season. Meetings are usually in The Bowling Club Pavilion from 7.30 pm but for
February and March 2024 our Meetings will be in The Blacksmiths Arms from 7.00 pm
We would like to wish all our residents a Happy New Year and look forward to sharing time with you this year
