Clubs and Societies
Allotments The Parish Council has seventeen allotments on two sites within the village, neither of which has mains water or on-site car parking. Rents are therefore quite low. Plots and half-plots are available, but the turnover of allotment-holders is also low and there is sometimes a waiting list. The allotments are administered by Cllr Geoff Twiss on behalf of the Parish Council, and anyone interested in renting an allotment should contact him in the first instance on 01296 720724. Badminton In Greenacre Hall Mondays 8:00 to 9:30pm New players wanted – All standards welcome - but adults olny Book Group The Drayton Parslow Book Group meets once a month in members’ homes.

We are a small but thriving WI, founded in 1939, with around 16 members covering a spread of ages. We enjoy a varied selection of speakers and activities, the odd trip out, and in addition to our monthly meetings run a luncheon club which ventures out into the countryside at lunchtime on the first Wednesday of every month to sample different pubs and restaurants in the area – a pleasant social event to which “other halves” are also invited.
