Cuckfield Society
Patron: Sir Richard Kleinwort
President: Stephen Cockburn
Vice Presidents: Katie Stewart, Nick Rowe
The Cuckfield Society is a charity which was formed in 1963 with the intention of helping to preserve and enhance the essential atmosphere of the very special parish of Cuckfield and the surrounding countryside. We also seek to improve, in every way possible, the appearance of the village and our amenities.
This doesn't mean to say that we're hung up on the past, although Cuckfield does have an extraordinary number of listed buildings which the current owners take great care of, but we are keen to ensure that new development complements, rather than detracts from the village ambience.
Our Constitution requires us to promote appreciation of our beautiful village and to encourage the support and collaboration of others in the preservation and sympathetic growth of our community. There is nothing in our Constitution to say that we can't have fun while promoting and caring for our village!
Our goal is to stimulate public awareness of issues affecting Cuckfield and to encourage a strong feeling of community within our residents and to achieve this we hold meetings, exhibitions and presentations as well as issuing quarterly newsletters and promoting local charitable schemes.
Membership of the Society is open to anyone who supports our objectives and costs only £6 for an individual, £9 for a family or £150 for Life Membership. Click here to download our membership application form.
Registered charity number: 249110.
2010 Annual General Meeting
The 2010 AGM took place in a packed Council Chamber of the Queens's Hall on Froday 26th March. For those who were unable to attend, the slides from the meeting are available online.
Photo Competition
To enhance the new look website, we are launching a competition to find some great shots of the village to use on the site.
We will hopefully use many of the pictures you submit (and would therefore need to retain copyright on them once they have been submitted) across the website so not only will your picture be seen by many, but as a prize for the best photo, we will present you with a framed copy (or on a stretched canvas if desired) of your winning picture for you to proudly display in your home.
