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.

Upcoming activities in Cromvliet

Cromvliet Neighbourhood Day: Greetings from Cromvliet!

Summer (holidays) are sadly over again for most of us. Fortunately, the late summer can still be enjoyed in full at the Cromvliet Neighbourhood Day 2024. This annual event will take place this year on Saturday 28 September, from 16:00 to 19:00. As always, the square in front of Cromvliet House (Huize Cromvliet) will be the venue for conviviality and meetings with other neighbours.

This year's theme: Greetings from Cromvliet! Alone, with a partner or with neighbours: on this Neighbours' Day, everyone can have themselves captured on a postcard. For those who want to get active between a snack and a drink, there will be various outdoor games to play with each other, young and old. And who knows, you might go home with one of the fun prizes to be won from the music bingo. Sangria and a tasty tapas buffet complemented by other tasty snacks and drinks will make Neighbours' Day extra festive. 

We are of course hoping for a sunny, warm and dry late summer day. If the weather is nevertheless very bad, the neighbourhood committee will move Neighbours' Day to Sunday 29 September. In the worst case, we will have to cancel the day. Should this be necessary, the neighbourhood committee will let you know in time via the regular social channels (WhatsApp community, Nextdoor and Facebook). 

(Further) greening the neighbourhood together

On Cromvliet Neighbourhood Day, one activity will start earlier in the afternoon at 14:00. Under the guidance of neighbourhood resident Annelies Goedbloed, anyone with a green heart for our neighbourhood can help make Cromvliet even greener. If you would like to contribute to more greenery in the neighbourhood, please register by 19 September at the latest via the neighbourhood committee's e-mail address. Registration is extra important because this activity will only take place if at least 4-6 neighbourhood participants have signed up.

Please note: in case of bad weather, this activity will be moved to Sunday 29 September, just like Neighbourhood Day. Keep a close eye on the neighbourhood committee's social channels for up-to-date information.
