Organisation - How does the Society Work?

How do I participate?

Society members are encouraged to contact Committee Members about any topic they feel should be raised with the Council or other interested groups

Members are invited to join the working groups which report to the Executive Committee

What's in it for me?

Social events which give our members a chance to meet each other

Events include an annual lunch, talks, walks and visits to houses of architectural or historic interest, some of which are seldom open to the public

Also!

A twice-yearly newsletter outlining the latest concerns and what the future may hold

Executive Committee [elected annually]

meet:

• Leading Councillors
• Chief Council Officers: responsible for planning, leisure and transport
• Environmental Groups

to:

• Exchange views and opinions about specific proposals or general strategic concerns

Working Groups monitor:

• New developments and proposals which affect the surrounding architecture, parks, gardens, the sea-front or green belts.
• The Executive Committee then presses for improvements at the planning stage.
• Open Meetings give all members the opportunity to make their views known. These are always taken into account
