About Us
The Goring Residents' Association provides a non-political forum. Our aim is to represent the majority view, if there is one, about issues concerning Goring. We welcome input from our members. We also encourage our members to get to know each other by participating in social events and outings.
GRA was founded in 1944 and has over 1300 members who pay a small annual subscription.
Our activities are governed by our Constitution and are subject to review by members at our Annual General Meeting held every autumn. The GRA Constitution was last updated and approved at the 2023 AGM.
​
Our committee (see below), elected annually by members at the AGM, oversees activities throughout the year. If you would like to get involved with GRA by joining our committee, why not contact our Chair for an informal chat?
Our meetings take place in St. Mary's Church Hall, Ilex Way.
Twice a year, we publish a newsletter which is distributed to members. Those living south of the railway line within an area bounded by George V Avenue in the east and the boundary with Ferring in the west will receive newsletters delivered by volunteer road wardens who also collect subscriptions, if not paid online. GRA Members living outside that area will receive newsletters by email (or post at an additional cost) and pay their membership subscription through the banking system.
​
Members provide a little personal information to us. We keep this safe and secure and do not pass it to other organisations. Our Data Protection Statement can be viewed here.
