Annual General Meeting
The AGM will be held on Saturday 12th April starting at 10.30 am at Ubley Parish Hall, The Street, Bristol. BS40 6PJ
Constitution updates.
Various small but important updates to our constitution will be voted upon at the AGM. All members are invited to familiarise themselves with the changes by clicking here and viewing a PDF copy. All changes are highlighted in yellow, mostly these are simply bringing our constitution up to date. A few areas of text are in red italics. This indicates new or revised wording. The remainder of the document is the existing constitution and is largely imposed on us by the Charity Commission. The vote will only be on changes in red.
Membership Renewal
Please note that subscriptions for 2025 become due on 2nd January. Details of rates and how to pay were given in the November Newsletter or, if in doubt, contact the Membership Secretary (see Contact page).
Email Addresses
If you want to contact the Society please use the email addresses on the Contact page. We cannot send emails from the ...@themendipsociety.org.uk addresses and using a personal email address for emailing all members risks being treated as a spammer. Temporary yahoo addresses have been set up for this purpose but please do not reply to these as they are not regularly looked at and one (mendipsocmailing@yahoo.com) can no longer be accessed.
our hills
The Mendip Hills sit high above the Somerset countryside in South West England.
The limestone uplands feature dry gorges, caves, sinks and river sources. One of the most famous areas is the Cheddar Gorge, and the Mendip Hills National Landscape is a protected landscape.
our society
The Mendip Society works to conserve and enhance the Mendip Hills and surrounding areas for everyone to enjoy.
As a registered charity, we organise social activities on the hills for all our members including walks, special interest visits and talks. We also manage some small nature reserves and members are encouraged to be involved with these.
