The Barkham Village Residents Association was established in 1987. It came about initially in response to a Planning Application for housing development within the Coombes - a woodland rich in a diversity of wildlife and designated an area of special scientific interest. Planning issues remain an interest of the BVRA.
After the threat to the Coombes subsided, the association continued to contribute to Barkham's community spirit by running social events and the production of a quarterly newsletter.
Membership
Membership of the BVRA extends to most households in the village. Subscription is currently £2 per year per household which includes all 4 issues of the newsletter. For more details about membership and how to pay your subscription please click here.
Newsletter
The newsletter is issued 4 times a year and delivered direct to your door. If you do not currently receive a copy please contact the membership secretary to join the BVRA.
Newsletter Distributors
Distributors are a vital part of the newsletter process - without them we could not deliver to every house in Barkham as we do at the moment. Duties are not onerous and consist of delivering the newsletters 4 times per year and collecting the annual £2 membership fee. If you feel that you could help please contact the membership secretary.
