Rockbourne Relaunch

For the last two years, Rockbourne has been working in partnership with Aiming High to secure funds to develop and renovate the Youth Club. Despite the recent budget cuts, approval was given for internal and external alterations to the Youth Club, including a new, disabled accessible entrance, changing facilities and a floodlit, multi-use pitch. The work started in December 2010 and was finished by the end of March.

They will be holding an open day on Saturday, May 7th from noon to 4 pm which will allow you to see the great work that has and is being done at the Youth Club.

Let's Get Snapping!

This year, for the first time, we are holding a digital photo competition. With its fabulous views and eclectic mix of old and new, there are sure to be some fantastic images to be found in Forest Hill. Go creative, get snapping!

We are delighted that the competition will be judged by Paul Murphy, local resident, Society member and winner of the ‘Rose Award for Photography’ Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2010. Paul is the second person ever to win this award.

There will be 12 winning photos selected which will then go on to form the Forest Hill Society Calendar 2012, which will be available for everyone to buy. Winners will be notified and presented with an award at the Forest Hill Society AGM in November.

Entrants can submit as many digital pictures as they like to our Flickr group

Every submission must be accompanied by an e-mail sent to alisa@foresthillsociety.com with your name, address, phone number and photo ID/name. The closing date is 15 October 2011 and the final 12 photos will be chosen on 30 October.

Please read the rules for copyright and privacy issues. Full competition rules can be found here on our website

The competition is only open to digital photographs. We hope to be able to accept printed images in the future.
