The Society
The aims of the Society are to provide a social forum for the Harting community and to encourage an appreciation of the local environment, its heritage and its history.

All meetings are held in the Village Hall, South Harting at 7.30 pm and the bar is open from 7.00. The annual subscription for members is £10, or £16 for joint membership. Visitors and guests are most welcome and invited to contribute £5 per head.
