2026 Advanced dates for your diaries and events 

Village Spring Clean 2026 

We will again be initiating our annual village Spring Clean in early 2026 starting in February.

We split the village into areas which are listed below. Each has a volunteer coordinator. We are always in need of helpers so if you are able to assist us in this very worthwhile operation (at a time of your choosing) please contact  us by email at communications@ropleysociety.org giving the location you would like to clear and your name will be passed to the appropriate coordinator. The Ropley Society strongly recommend that you use hi vis jackets when out collecting, we can provide bin liners and rubbish pickers on request.
