The Warsash Residents’ Association (WRA) was formed in 1932 and exists to ascertain the views of residents regarding matters of concern to the village and to speak on their behalf to local government and other organisations. We keep members up to date via emails, a monthly newsletter and members’ meetings held on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our members' meetings (held in the Victory Hall in Warsash) have been put on hold and may not resume for some time. Therefore, we are our moving the meetings online via Zoom, following the same format as the Victory Hall meetings. The first Zoom meeting, as a trial, will take place on 17 February 2021. To join the Zoom meeting, you need to be a member and new members are very much welcome. The annual subscription is £10 per household, or £5.00 for people living alone. To join the WRA you can contact the membership secretary, Werner Schoeffer, at [email protected], who will send you an application form via email or post. You should return the form with your contact details and subscription cheque to the membership secretary at:
