Founded in 1924, the Association has played an important role in the development of Berkhamsted and its organisations, most notably the Local History & Museum Society, the Graham Greene Birthplace Trust, The Chiltern Society and the Town Hall trust.
It also supported setting up branches of national organisations in the town, e.g. The Citizens Advice Bureau.
It continues its major role in taking an active part in seeing that the changes in Berkhamsted and Northchurch are an improvement to the area.
The more members we have, the more effective we can be.
Why not join us and add your voice and abilities to help influence the future of your area.
What do we get up to?
The Committee meets roughly every four to six weeks to discuss Berkhamsted and Northchurch matters.
We have a regular program of meetings throughout the year and the coming year is no exception.
The program will include items on Berkhamsted architecture, Redbournebury water mill, the deferred talk about ‘our’ lifeboat and a midsummer ramble as well as the New Year one and the Christmas bash.
Remember that we have moved the meetings from the Great Hall to the Sessions Hall or Clock Room, Both these rooms take up to a 100 people so should be of sufficient size for our meetings, and will be a great saving.
You know, you could always join us. Why not download our application form (in PDF format).
Just £5 per year!
Cllr David Collins has now joined the committee and keeps us posted on what the Town Council gets up to.
List of Committee members for 2008/9 are available as a pdf download here.
List of local Councillors elected in May 2007 are available here.
How about past issues of ‘The Citizen’ in PDF format?
We are currently transferring all available copies of our newsletter to Acrobat pdf format and will update this page as and when and where.
We currently start in 1972 and looking for any older material anyone may have. They will be ‘copies’ of the original documents as close as we can get them to the format and type-styles and just as they might have been produced and delivered to members today.
This will enable the file sizes to be kept down to the minimum and any that are larger than 1MBytes will have the size noted as we know not everyone has broadband connections.
Why not contribute - articles always considered on Berkhamsted life.
I’ve just added a forum for your comments about the town in general and the Hospital in particular - why not go for it and make your views known?
At our June 2007 main committee meeting, it was suggested that we should provide more information to members about what we do on your behalf. Perhaps you would care to let us know what would be of interest that we don’t already provide - perhaps you don’t know what we do - perhaps we are doing things wrong, let us know (remember there are vacancies on the committee if you want to get more involved!).
