Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Our AGM was held on Friday, 29 November 2024, 7.30pm for 8pm at South Godstone Sports and Community Association, corner of Hunters Chase and Lagham Road, South Godstone RH9 8HE.
We are particularly pleased that this years guest speaker was Catherine Sayer, Leader
of the Residents Alliance which forms a minority administration at Tandridge District Council and is also therefore, Leader of the Council.
Catherine spoke about how the Residents Alliance have gone about reforming the Council’s financial position and structure since becoming the administration three years ago and described some of the pressures that still exist. She also described how the new Government’s emerging plans to reform planning policy could impact upon Tandridge, particularly in respect of green belt release for housing development. At the end of her presentation, Catherine answered questions from the floor.
On 10th November, a Remembrance Sunday Service was held next to the soldier & horse trough on the A22 South Godstone.
Wreaths were laid on behalf of;
- South Godstone Residents Association
- The residents of South Godstone
- Godstone Parish Council
Further wreaths were laid at Flight Sergeant Stanley Allen Fenemore memorial, Postern Gate Farm.
Thank you for joining us to pay tribute to all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
We would like to thank everyone who came to the comedy night organised by South Godstone Residents Association in association with Comedy Beats. The event which was again held at the South Godstone Sports Club, followed a similar format to the original Comedy Night with a Compere and three nationally known Comedians from TV programs such as Have I got News for You, Tonight at the London Palladium and Saturday Night Live - this again, was a selection of really top class comedy acts.

Every penny made by this event will be ploughed back into the community in one way or another (we have just donated £100 to St Stephen's Church to help replace the defibrillator battery).

A very big thank you to the communities of Godstone and South Godstone for supporting the South Godstone Residents Association Community Big Lunch on Sunday, 7 May.
At the superbly decorated hall at the South Godstone Sports and Social club, with picnickers welcomed, around 80 ploughman's lunches were served followed by a good selection of tasty cakes, with tea and coffee.
Entertained by Marky Wild, balloon modeller and close up magician and with Victoria from Great Faces Face Painting creating stunning designs for young and old and music to suit all we hope everyone had fun.
It was great to bring the community together to mark this historic occasion.
If you would like to share your photos of the event, we would love to put them on our website. Please send any photos to the below email address.
Thank you
South Godstone Residents Association
Welcome to South Godstone Residents’ Association, working for the community for over 45 years.
The Committee, who are all volunteers, try to protect the area from over or inappropriate development and also raise other matters of concern, such as parking or trees, rubbish and recycling collections and operating the community speed watch scheme.
We have a close working relationship with Godstone Parish Council, Tandridge District Council and Surrey County Council.
We aim to offer our members assistance in matters which directly affect them or the community by writing on their behalf, such as Planning Matters, Transport and Environmental issues.
To contact the SGRA Committee, please email us or click on the "Contact Us" button below.
Volunteering Opportunities
Are you concerned about the speed of vehicles travelling through our village? South Godstone Resident’s Association currently operates Community SpeedWatch. More volunteers are urgently needed. After brief, local, free of charge training, could you then commit to just an hour a month during either the week or at weekends? It doesn’t have to be a regular time slot. You would work with a trained colleague in the village and deter those driving at excess speeds.
The South Godstone Residents’ Association is taking this opportunity to welcome new committee members. Whether you would be interested in putting your name forward for the role of Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary or Treasurer or a committee member and learn more about these roles and what we do, we would love to hear from you and what you would be interested in doing! We meet on the evening of the last Friday of every other month, on the odd numbered months. Written expressions of interest please to secretary Susan Clark by email to southgodstone.ra@gmail.com, by post to 11 Lagham Park, or by clicking the "Contact Us" button below, no later than 5pm, Tuesday 25 October.
