Current thinking
After discussions
with the students about their views on Croom, it became obvious that there was
a negative impression in the minds of most. It was pointed out that the village
has mills, a river, schools, a hospital, churches and it used to have a train station.
It has sports halls and pitches etc.
As a result
students began to agree that there is quite a bit to offer here but the drab
nature of the minds image of these was very evident in their dialog
We agreed that our
portrait of Croom may need to kind, almost fantastically so in order to
paint a positive image of all the good that does happen in the village
