Chorleywood Residents’ Association was established in 1968, and is run by a dedicated group of community-spirited volunteers who are passionate about maintaining the special and friendly character of Chorleywood. All Chorleywood residents are automatically members of the Residents’ Association.
You can keep up to date with news and our activities in Chorleywood by subscribing to our newsletter and visiting us on Facebook and Twitter.
Chorleywood Residents’ Association is funded by voluntary donations from residents, membership of our 100 Club, and local businesses advertising in our twice-yearly magazine, The Chorleywood Resident, which is delivered to each and every household in Chorleywood Parish.
Volunteers are always welcome, please get in touch using our Contact Form if you’d like to get involved!
If you have any problems or suggestions, please use our Contact Us page to let us know.
Don’t miss our annual Community Meeting on May 20th!
Come and hear Dick Mander, Founder and Chairman of the Chorleywood Community Orchard Cider Club. After our short AGM, Dick will tell us all about our wonderful Community Orchard and how the Cider Club makes our local cider and apple juice.
Also tell the CRA what concerns you, and what you want for Chorleywood!
Wednesday May 20th at 8pm in the Memorial Hall, doors open at 7.30pm for a welcome drink, including Chorleywood cider, wine or a soft drink. Do come and join us!
See the AGM page on our website for nomination forms, reports, accounts and minutes of last year’s AGM.
Join our 100 Club, the odds are good!
Every month we draw four prizes for our 100 Club members: three of £10 and one of £50 (except May and December when the top prize is £100!). That’s 48 chances to win each year, and with fewer than 150 members your annual chance of winning over 30%!
Each membership costs £30 per year, and you’re allowed as many entries as you like. At £2.50 per month it’s less than the price of a coffee..
CRA is funded by 100 Club memberships and donations, so help us to support Chorleywood, and maybe you’ll be a winner!
