About Us

About Goring Residents' Association

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 (see below) 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. 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 or in a sealed envelope to Denyer News, 265 Goring Road. The map of our road warden area is shown below. 

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 Policy is shown below:

GRA Committee 2023

Chair

Jeremy Jacobs

I am a retired accountant. My partner and I moved to Goring in the summer of 2018 and have been impressed with the area. Its amenities and proximity to the sea and countryside make it an ideal environment. I recognise the importance of the work the Residents Association has done in preventing planning mishaps and protecting our environment and amenities. I am committed to ensuring this good work continues.

Treasurer 

Herbert Herrmann

My wife and I arrived in Goring a few years ago. Our home was Cape Town for decades. We left Cape Town only after our children and grandchildren had left South Africa and settled in the UK.  Through a good friend in Henfield, we were introduced to Goring and were lucky enough to find a suitable home here. We put down roots and are very happy in Goring.
