This is a page for news and updates about events and items we are likely to be interested in. It may be events related to talks we have had at WISE. It could be about anything from a rag rugging group, to an appeal for volunteers for a local charity.

Aldeburgh Society

The Aldeburgh Society came up during our discussion in October and quite a few people wanted to know more about it. WISE member Katherine Mackie is their chair and has supplied some information for us below:

The Aldeburgh Society was formed in 1974 as the civic society for Aldeburgh. Our aims are to care for and nurture the character of the town and its surroundings on the East Coast of Suffolk.

Through informed, energetic engagement (meetings, responses to planning issues, publications and events), we encourage the preservation, development and improvement of public amenities and features of historic interest.

We aim to encourage high standards of architecture and town planning in what we believe to be one of England’s loveliest seaside towns.

We provide members with a link to and support in exchanging with like-minded bodies in Suffolk.
Our social calendar includes a winter Lecture Series, hosting talks from experts on topics of collective interest, designed as a stimulus for the Society’s collective direction.

The Society is run entirely by volunteers. Its President is Tony Bone and its Chairman Katherine Mackie.

Some recent activities:

As the civic society for the historic coastal town and cultural centre of Aldeburgh, the Aldeburgh Society has registered its grave concern over the EDF Sizewell C DCO application for the construction of two further nuclear reactors at Sizewell and Scottish Power Renewables’ DCO application for two offshore windfarms with landfall sites at Friston.

The objects of the Society are to encourage public interest in and care for the character of the town and its surroundings, and the preservation, development and improvement of general public amenity in the area.  EDF’s proposals and those of Scottish Power Renewables conflict with the fulfilment of these objects.
