"Be assured of a warm welcome"
Making the most of our bus services
The Villager 2 (V2) bus service has been
running since September and apart from one
or two reported incidents, is proving to be
reasonably reliable. However, the service for
Cropwell Bishop is far from ideal. Many of us
preferred the previous regular service to town
via Radcliffe and timings of the supporting
850/852 services are not very helpful. We
consider the service could be much improved for Cropwell if, for example, the V2 ran
from Nottingham to Cotgrave and Cropwell Bishop then on to Cropwell Butler and
Radcliffe (for ‘mainline’ connections to Nottingham and Bingham).

Part P registered and all work comes with a guarantee.
The 41 Grantham Downtown service continues to run on Thursdays (10.20 from
Church St) and it provides a useful direct (market day) service to Bingham arriving at
10.30. The alternative V2 service at 10.25 from Church St takes 35 minutes to reach
Bingham. Note that the last bus (V2) back from Bingham is at 2.25pm).

Give us ring and speak to a
mechanic – not a receptionist!
On Fridays, the S4 shopper bus to Morrisons, West Bridgford and Asda leaves Church
St at 09.26 and Hoe View at 09.28. Concession passes are accepted. The S4 returns
at 11.15 from Asda (11.20 from Tudor Square, 11.25 from Morrisons).
The timetables of our various services and a journey planner can be found at:
http://www.travelineeastmidlands.co.uk/em/XSLT_SELTT_REQUEST
(put Cropwell Bishop in ‘Location’ or select ‘plan a journey’)
Ludlow Hill Road, West Bridgford,
Nottingham NG2 6HF
The Villager 2 (V2) at 08.26 provides a useful morning service to town but please note
it serves only Hoe View Road and does not start at Church Street. On Saturdays,
concession pass holders may use this service, and the earlier services, free of charge.
After the 08.26, the next bus to town is the V2 at 10.00.
The 852 provides a shopper opportunity to Radcliffe (New Tesco etc.) with buses at
10.17 and 11.47 from Church St, returning at 12.10 and 2.10 pm from Radcliffe.

Please continue to pass any comments on our services to the Clerk, Jan Towndrow.
Trent Barton and the County Council have agreed to further discussion and review
of our services with community representatives early in the New Year.
The evening buses (V2’s at7.30 and 10.10pm from Friar Lane to Cropwell Bishop)
are proving popular but will only continue if there is sufficient demand – please give
them a try. Trent Barton have confirmed that on Mondays to Thursdays, the 11.20
pm Cotgrave Connection from Friar Lane will still continue on to Cropwell Bishop (at
least to Kinoulton Road) on request.

Fern Charity Enterprises - a new Village Hall?
Cropwell Bishop is well served by both the Memorial Hall and The Old School and
both buildings are well used. For the future, our vision is for a new-build village hall
to replace the Memorial Hall, in the longer term. We are therefore initiating fundraising efforts towards this aim.
Next year we are planning an event, so watch this space for the details and a
surprise.
In the meantime, if you would like to donate to a new-build village hall savings fund,
please go to the crowdfunding website link below as we are trying to raise £500 in
30 days.

SCOOP THE POOP CHRISTMAS POEM
We’ve all heard of Rudolph and his shiny red nose
And we all know frosty, who’s made out of snow
Sadly these stories soon fade away
With dog poo presents left in our way
These unwanted gifts will taint our village for many a day
Soon Santa will be on his sleigh flying high
With presents galore and a glint in his eye
Presents all wrapped in paper & bows
High above the streets all glistening below
Not a thing to be seen in the dazzling snow
Dog Poo in the bins where we know it should go
New bikes, new prams, new skateboards, new shoes
We don’t want dog poo on our shiny new things
So please go along and see Mrs. Clause
And pick up free bags from the Parish Council Office stores
Then scoop up the poop, and join in our Christmas cheer
Make Cropwell Bishop poop free at Yule Tide this year
“Happy Christmas and all the very best to all”
Janice Towndrow – Parish Clerk
Dog Poop Bags
Ray Kimpton our Village Ranger/Lengthsman, will be
carrying a supply of poop bags whilst out and about in the village working.
Please stop and ask him for a supply.

Our Local History
Anne Terzza, on behalf of the Heritage Group, explains the history behind our
Village Names and Life from years ago.
Cropwell Bishop - a "Modern Village"
The present village has seen a new kind of domestic change; a rising standard in
comfort and even luxury.
No longer is water taken from the well, the cistern which was situated under the
scullery floor to collect rain water off the roof or the canal. Gone are the earth privies
in the garden and the chamber pots which are now valued as antiques, as are the
paraffin lamps, the candle sticks and snuffers. To find an open fire in any house
nowadays is the exception and horse and cart have been replaced by the car and
bus. The stables of the working horses have been converted into garages for tractors.
The old village was largely self supporting apart from the tradesmen, joiners,
bricklayers, blacksmith, wheelwright, tailor, boot maker etc, there were grocers,
butchers and bakers. The one commodity that did come from outside was fish, twice
a week fishmongers called W Horsepool, Bingham, C Gore, Radcliffe-on-Trent came
in their 2 wheeled horse drawn carts.
A pot merchant would have a stand at the village “Turn” on an occasion for one night,
crockery was laid out on the grass and auctioned by the Pot man. Two other visitors
were the Rag and Bone man with a 2 wheeled dray drawn by a pony exchanging with
the village children a paper windmill on a stick for a rabbit or hare skin or a bundle of
rags. The travelling scissor grinder sharpening knives and scissors of any customer
he could find.
Hawkers - “Lame Jack” was a popular one he would sell tapes, ribbons, needles
and pins to the village housewives from a wicker hamper on wheels. From time
to time the Hurdy-Gurdy man wheeled a portable mechanical piano through the
village, with a small monkey in a red jacket to add interest. Evangelists Silverwood
and Whitehouse would
also on an occasion
have a marquee in the
stackyard behind what
the Cabin on Church
Street.
Nowadays the village
is an assembly of
individuals and classes
then that of the past.
However from the new
society a refreshed and
new community spirit
has come about.

BINGHAM UNIVERSITY OF THE THIRD AGE
Meets in St Marys Parish Church Bingham on the
3rd Wednesday of each month
November 18th Speaker - Tim O'Brien - 'Last Post at Newton'
December 16th Christmas Party with entertainment organised by Jim Holland
Well another season comes to an end. Surprisingly, with the Great
British weather, we only lost one game due to rain and managed
to play from the first weekend in May until the last weekend in
September. It may not have been the hottest of summers but the
cricket was enjoyable and the results a massive improvement on
previous seasons.
Some memorable moments were achieved also, we had the first Cropwell CC player
to score over 100 runs in a game (Fred Dulwich), quickly followed like a bus, we had
the second (Pete Walton). In one game, Cameron Pywell took 5 wickets, including
a hat-trick (3 wickets in 3 balls). Overall we scored more runs and won more games
than in any previous season. We have welcomed on board new members, who have
bought into our ethos (Fun is more important than winning!) and the club is growing.
This was highlighted no more than in the last game of the season, the bi-annual Bishop
V Butler game. We had 28 members playing on the day, with everyone getting a bat…
not the usual scenario for a Sunday game!! A big crowd came and enjoyed the free
BBQ & Bouncy Castle and watched Bishop win again, making it a double swoop for
the second year running. It was a most enjoyable game played in the right spirit with
plenty of friendly banter…To me though, the best part was seeing the next group
of youngsters being involved for the first time, with 3 youngsters
playing in the same game as their Dads.
