AboutTheRRA

Founded in 1937, the Association's objectives were established as: ‘to promote the well-being of the community resident in the Riddlesdown locality for such purposes as may by law be deemed to be charitable and in particular by associating the Local Authorities, voluntary organisations and residents in a common effort to further health, advance education, and to foster a community spirit for the achievement of such purposes as aforesaid.’

The Committee nowadays interprets this rather long-winded statement as a mandate to maintain and improve the Riddlesdown environment, liaising with local authorities and services.

The Association covers approximately 1,350 households from 31 roads with a membership of about 2,500 people.

2012 will be our 75th Anniversary.

OUR MAGAZINE:
THE RIDDLESDOWN RECORDER

We publish this twice yearly. It is free and delivered in early April and October to all households, containing information and articles of interest to residents. Click here for more information.

OUR ROAD STEWARDS

Delivery of the Recorder and of other material is done by our loyal and hardworking band of road stewards. They also collect the annual subscription of £3 (concessions are available for senior citizens). The road stewards are recruited and organised by John Rapp, Membership Secretary. Apply to John (8660 9531) or any Committee member if you wish to join the Association.

We are always in need of road stewards to replace those that unfortunately leave, or to lighten the burden of those with large patches. Please contact John if you can help.

We organise a Summer Fun Day on Riddlesdown Common, usually in June. Please watch out for details in the Riddlesdown Recorder and on the four notice boards around the area.

These are situated outside Riddlesdown Pharmacy/Wesson's (the Post Office in Lower Barn Road), outside P. & P. Saban, (confectioners and newsagents in Mitchley Avenue), on the wall by the main entrance of St. Edmund’s Church, and on the church green in Lower Barn Road near to the Mitchley Avenue junction. Sometimes we also use the notice board in Riddlesdown Station Waiting Room.

A Message Board exists for members to submit and discuss issues.

Due to the high level of robotic spam registering on the message board, it maybe difficult for some people to read the CAPTCHA letters - they are upper case letters & numbers. By holding the Ctrl key and + key together, it will make the lettering on the screen bigger and easier to see. Hold the Ctrl key and - key, to return lettering back to normal size. If genuine posters are having problems, then please e-mail the RRA on the e-mail address above, to register. Please tell us your preferred user ID, your chosen displayed name and your e-mail address, if different to the one submitted on the e-mail to us and we will register for you. You will be sent an e-mail (probably not immediately) confirming registration, together with a random password which we suggest is changed to one of your own preference when you log on and is made as strong as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
