What You Need to Know

The Pickwick Association is dedicated to protecting the character of this Wiltshire village by raising and maintaining the awareness of its history and architecture.

​

Established in 1989 to promote and carry out any activities to the benefit of the community of Pickwick, the association is open to all residents aged over 18 – you don’t need to complete an application form or pay a subscription to join!

​

Since it was formed 30 years ago, the association has worked hard to protect the village as far as possible from urbanisation, insensitive development and road traffic.

​

Its role in protecting Pickwick has helped protect our village from unprecedented development which could have changed its character forever – see development articles.

​

The association is managed voluntarily by a committee of up to 10 residents elected at the annual general meeting which is normally held in late June.

​

The committee meets up to seven times a year to focus on issues facing the village such as planning, transport, highways, local history and local authority consultations.

​

Social events are also organised from time to time, including the annual Summer Cream Team held in one of the village’s gardens.

​

New members are always welcome – to contribute ideas, to get involved and generally to help raise the profile and protect the character of Pickwick.

Pickwick Association is supported by Corsham Town Council.
