Get Involved
Join the association
Membership is inexpensive, open to every resident, and it is the single thing that gives the association weight when it speaks for the village.
Why It Matters
“Five hundred households asking the same question is a different thing from one.”
When the association writes to the Community Council or a local authority, the first thing that gets read is how many households it speaks for. Membership is what turns a private complaint into a matter the village has raised.
It also pays for the things volunteers cannot donate: printing, insurance for public events, and the hire of the Community Centre for open meetings.
Membership is open to every resident of Pissouri — permanent or part-year, whatever street you live on, however long you have been here.
Membership
What you get, plainly
A vote and a voice
Vote at the Annual General Meeting, stand for the committee, and put items on the agenda for open meetings.
The members’ email
Committee minutes, and notice of events before they are posted publicly.
Events and guests
Entry to members’ events, and the right to bring guests to the quiz nights and social evenings.
Someone to take it up
Issues raised by members are logged, put to the Community Council in writing, and chased at each monthly meeting.
Three Ways
How to join
The quickest way is to apply online. You can also join in person at any event or at the AGM.
Apply online
Fill in the short application form. A committee member will be in touch to confirm your membership and how to pay.
At any event
Come to a quiz night or the market and speak to any committee member. Forms are on the table; it takes two minutes.
At the AGM
Join on the door at the Annual General Meeting. New members joining that evening can vote in that year’s committee elections.
Paying your membership
Membership can’t be paid on the website. After you apply, a committee member will contact you with how to pay.
The association will never ask you for card details or a bank transfer by email or message. If you receive something claiming to be from us and asking for payment, please tell the committee.
Standing For The Committee
Members can stand, too
The committee is elected each year at the AGM and is always looking for people willing to take on an area — such as events or membership. No experience is required beyond living here and caring about it.
Get Involved
Membership is inexpensive and it’s how we get heard.
Every member strengthens our voice with the Community Council and local authorities.
