For and by local residents

The Cromvliet neighbourhood committee consists of a regular group of enthusiastic volunteers, all living in Cromvliet. They are specifically committed to creating more connection in the neighbourhood. The committee does this by organizing a number of activities and events every year for all residents of Cromvliet, young and old(er). In addition to the recurring activities, the committee also tries to organize new activities where possible. A photo report of previous events can be found here.

The committee is dependent on financial help from the Municipality of Rijswijk for the organization of events. In addition, the committee also tries to obtain financing through other channels, such as the Oranjefonds or Fonds 1818.

Sometimes the committee asks for a small contribution from residents who participate in an event, such as a snack, homemade or purchased, for the Neighbours' Day or a cost-covering contribution for the Neighbourhood Dinner

The neighbourhood committee is not an interest group; the committee deliberately focuses on connection by bringing neighbourhood residents together and not on other neighbourhood-related issues. For this you can contact the area director for Cromvliet at the municipality of Rijswijk, reachable via e-mail.

The feast of Saint Martin in Cromvliet 

On Monday 11 November, Cromvliet will celebrate the children's festival of Saint Martin. From 17:30, all children and their parent(s) are welcome in the schoolyard of the Nicolaas Beets school. There, glasses of lemonade or mulled wine will be waiting for all participants. And together, with a drink in hand, they can listen to the story of Saint Martin told a little before 18:00.

The schoolyard is then the starting point for a cheerful lantern parade through the neighbourhood. And of course, all the children hope that many Cromvliet residents will have some goodies ready!

Cromvliet residents can let the children know that they are participating in the children's party by placing a candle in front of their window. The children will then know that they can ring the bell and sing a song to whoever opens the door. The reward for all the little singers will be a healthy treat or just some sweets!
