The Society

​

The aims of the Society are to provide a social forum for the Harting community and to encourage an appreciation of the local environment, its heritage and its history.

​

There is an annual programme of talks covering a wide range of interests during the months of October to April, and occasional outings to places of interest during the year.

​

All meetings are held in the Village Hall, South Harting at 7.30 pm and the bar is open from 7.00. The annual subscription for members is £10, or £16 for joint membership. Visitors and guests are most welcome and invited to contribute £5 per head.
