Cronk-y-Voddy institute is 100!

by isleofman.com 11th April 2009

A photographic exhibition is underway to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cronk-y-Voddy Men's Institute.

It's based in the clubroom, which stands on the side of the Cronk-y-Voddy straight, just before the Little London crossroads as you head towards Kirk Michael.

The photos will depict life around 'Cronky' as it's been affectionately known over the last century.

Long-time clubroom member Jim Caine says the weather is bound to feature and he can still remember when the clubroom itself totally disappeared under snow.

The exhibition runs from Saturday to Monday and is open from 1 to 5pm. Admission is free. A celebratory concert for the centenary will take place in an adjacent marquee on Monday evening.
