Dear Mt Victoria Residents,We are pleased to pen this first note to you as Trustees of the Crossways Community Trust, with the mandate to raise the necessary funds to purchase Crossways House for the community. Many of you may know the history of the property, but it is the future of this grand old building that concerns us. It is truly the heart of Mt Victoria, with numerous groups and the

At a recent meeting, Ralph Pannett read a prose poem that summed up how he felt about the rich tapestry of community activity that has filled Crossways over the last three decades. With his permission, we decided to re-print it here:The walls surrounding us at Crossways have a rich patina of the sounds, sights, smells and memories that are enshrined here. These I have loved, at Crossways:

The Council has voted to give Crossways a 12 month reprieve by providing some interim funding to St Andrews. This will allow enough time for the community to form a trust, put together a plan to re-invent Crossways for the 21st Century, and conduct some serious fund-raising. It's not the three years we asked for, but it's fair, reasonable, and - most of all - achievable. It's a fantastic outcome!
