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 1350 households from 27 roads with a membership of at least 2500 people.

OUR MAGAZINE: THE RIDDLESDOWN RECORDER

We publish this twice yearly. It is free and delivered in March and September 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 £3.00 (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 Children's Fancy Dress Party in January/February, and a Summer Fun Day usually in June or July. Please watch out for details in the Riddlesdown Recorder and on the four notice boards around the area.

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