Welcome to Tigers! It's official, and you can read all about it in this month's magazine when Steve O'Rourke explains what the Tiger taker-over will mean for Swaffham Prior: proper recreation facilities at last.
As most villagers will know, the "village recreation field" down Station Road has not seen any recreating for a great many years now, but this is all set to change, thanks to the efforts of a number of hard-working stoics, especially the Tiger's Club itself. Many thanks to them: we wish all the very best in their endeavours.
Last month's two hour power-cut sent everyone rushing for the Christmas Candles, those in the know quickly retiring to the Red Lion, where we hear hospitality and cuisine were most excellent. But it caught the Crier hopping: its "emergency numbers" being revealed as a bit prehistoric. Not that their modern equivalents (what are they? Advice please!) fared any better, we hear..
The Seven Year springs! Who has heard of these? The Crier is informed that every seven years or so, when the water-table reaches a certain height, springs emerge in the region of the dyke, and that certainly seems to be the case at the moment, since the old railway-line is now sporting a stream and a pond. More information please..
There's a great deal to read in this month's packed Crier, we hope you enjoy it. Profuse apologies from the editors who inadvertently published last month's Christmas Crossword solutions in advance. Happy Valentines Day All!
