Welcome to the Crowle and Ealand Arrow!

As the nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, November in Crowle and Ealand ushers in a season that brings our community closer together.

One of the most anticipated events this month is undoubtedly Bonfire Night, set to light up the skies over The Isle and other nearby villages on November 5th. The crackling fires, the smell of roasted marshmallows, and the vibrant bursts of fireworks will once again remind us of the joy of community gatherings. This long-held British tradition, commemorating Guy Fawkes Night, brings not only entertainment but also a sense of unity to our towns. Be sure to wrap up warm, gather your loved ones, and head to the local bonfire celebrations – a moment to enjoy, reflect, and create lasting memories.

While the colder weather may tempt us to stay indoors, personal trainer Jodie Grant is on a mission to keep Crowle and Ealand moving. With tailored programs Jodie provides an excellent way to stay active during the winter months. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, there’s something for everyone. The energy and motivation Jodie brings to her sessions can inspire us all to keep our health a priority, even as the holiday season approaches. See her advert on page 16 for further details.

The December issue deadline for adverts and content is Friday 8th of November. The Arrow will be delivered by the 1st December.

Enjoy your read.

Our Kiln Dried Firewood Logs are selected from the finest hardwood and have been through a kiln drying process, which means they are perfectly dried and ready to burn on your open fire or wood burning stove.

Light, clean and easy to handle, they also emit a delightful aroma when burnt. The performance of your stove is directly related to the quality of the wood you use. Our kiln dried wood has a moisture content between 10 and 20 percent, ensuring it burns hotter for longer, increasing the efficiency of your stove or appliance.
