FAR HEADINGLEY VILLAGE SOCIETY

The FHVS exists to maintain and improve the environment and facilities of the local area for the benefit of all local residents and others who visit the area.

It was founded in the early 1970s when the area around Cottage Road was threatened with demolition, and it was instrumental in the creation of the Far Headingley Conservation Area.

It has an Annual General Meeting to which all members are welcome, and a summer social/fund-raising event, in recent years a popular Wine Walk.    The 2010 AGM will be held on a Friday in November, date to be confirmed, and the Wine Walk will be held on Sunday 13th June 2009, raising over £500 for Society funds and Wheatfields hospice.

The 2009 Wine Walk raised over £500, which was divided between society funds and Wheatfields hospice.  The speaker at the 2009 AGM was Eveleigh Bradford, on "Headingley: 'This pleasant rural village'" - the title of her 2008 book, available from the Art shop in Weetwood Lane, from Headingley Library, and from all bookshops.

The Committee meets about five times a year. Committee meetings in 2010 are planned for 9 Feb, 22 April, 9 June, 28 Sept, 1 Dec. They are open to all local residents.  Please contact the secretary if you would like to attend.
