Hexham Civic Society is vitally concerned with the future of Hexham as a successful commercial, social and residential community. Hexham must develop and change to adapt to present and future needs. We seek to encourage and influence developments while protecting those characteristics of the town that are valued by residents and visitors alike and which will continue to be essential to its attractiveness, vitality and viability.
In order to fully represent the people of Hexham and to add strength to our arguments, the more people that we can say we represent the better.
Our current membership is 230. A few years ago it was well over 300. We are currently losing members at the rate of about 10 % a year. This is mainly because our membership is aging – however, we seek new members of all ages.
We therefore urge our current members to support our membership drive in a small way by talking to friends and neighbours about the work that we do and trying to persuade them to join so that we can continue to say that we represent a large proportion of the population of Hexham.
For those members who currently pay subscriptions annually, it would be a tremendous help to us, and to our hard working membership secretary, if you could pay standing order.
A membership application form and a Standing Order form are in each issue of our newsletter. You can also apply by email to: hcs@hexhamcivicsociety.co.uk
If you are not happy with what we are doing or would like us to do more, please speak to a committee member.
Best wishes,
Colin Dallison
Membership Secretary
