Date set for 2026 New Forest Commoners’ Defence Association AGM

Members of the New Forest Commoners’ Defence Association (CDA) are warmly invited to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is taking place at the end of April.

The AGM is an important opportunity to hear about the work carried out over the past year to support commoning in the New Forest, and to look ahead to the challenges and priorities for the year to come.

The evening will include reports from officers, updates on key issues affecting Commoners, and the election of committee members. It is also a chance for members to raise questions, share views and contribute to the ongoing direction of the Association.

The meeting starts at 7.30pm on Friday, April 24 at Lyndhurst Community Centre.

Andrew Parry-Norton, chair of the New Forest CDA, said: ‘The AGM is always a valuable opportunity to reflect on what we have achieved together over the past year and to focus on the issues that matter most to Commoners in the New Forest.

‘The strength of the CDA lies in the active involvement of its members, and I would encourage anyone with views about how we can progress commoning to come along and take part.’

All full and associate members are encouraged to attend and take part in what promises to be an informative and constructive evening.

Refreshments will be provided and there will hopefully be a guest speaker too.

We look forward to seeing you there.
