Yapton and Ford Local History Group
|
The Yapton & Ford Local History Group was formed in 1992 for people interested in the history of the two parishes. The Group meets, usually on the first Monday of the month, in the Club Room of Yapton & Ford village hall where a guest speaker entertains and informs about local and social history. The topics presented are varied and interesting.
Members may also use the Group’s library of books and historical records (census returns, etc.).

Yapton & District Cottage Gardeners’ Society
|
Our Society was founded c. 1890 - it is one of the oldest horticultural societies in West Sussex. The first flower show was shared with the neighbouring parish of Walberton. Towards the end of the 20th century (1970's) the annual and spring shows were joined by an autumn show and an early summer show.
As well as our four shows per year, we hold a series of talks for members and guests, two plant sales and some entertainment events including an annual barn dance and concerts.
Although we are based in Yapton for our events, our members come from many local villages. Everyone is welcome!

Arundel West District has three other Guide units, three Brownie Guide units for girls aged 7 to 10, and two Rainbow units for girls aged 5 to 7.
While having fun, working hard and attending lots of activities and events run by the Division, County or Girlguiding UK, we try to keep the Unit Guidelines and the Guide Law.
At 14 the Guides can move on to 1st Yapton Rangers (or 1st Yapton Smurfs as they prefer to be known), Arundel West Senior Section and/or become Young Leaders.

Yapton Women’s Institute

The Women's Institute (WI) was formed in 1915 to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then the organisation's aims have broadened and the WI is now the largest voluntary women's organisation in the UK. The WI will celebrate its centenary in 2015 and currently has 212,000 members in over 6,300 WIs.
The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.
