What We Do

What We Do

For over sixty years, The Ringwood Society has worked tirelessly to promote the character of the town and make it a better place for everyone to enjoy.

Our work spans several areas of interest which are outlined in brief below, and in more detail on the relevant pages.

We always welcome people who’d like to get involved in our activities and we would encorage you to get in touch to see how you might be able to assist, and would be delighted if you would join us as a member.

Casework

Casework is the major cornerstone upon which our activities are built. Our elected committee meets every month to monitor planning and listed building applications and to discuss local development issues.
Further details of our casework can be found here.

Projects

We identify projects which can enhance both the physical quality of our town, and the knowledge and understanding of Ringwood and its history. Members are invited to take an active part in any of our projects that spark their interest.

Further details of our project work can be found here.

Events

We hold an Annual General Meeting in the spring, an Open Meeting in the autumn, talks (usually given by a guest speaker), and a social event such as a town walk every year. Members get free entry to our meetings and talks.

Awards

First established in 1981, The Ringwood Society run an award scheme to promote the very best schemes which seek to enhance our town. Nominations from the public are sought for each awards cycle.
