Diary

There is a variety of societies in Damerham covering several interests.

If you would like more information please email us using the Contact page.

You can select a link to go directly to the section you are interested in.

Campanology - the Art of Bell Ringing

The Damerham and Martin Bellringers ring on Sunday mornings at either Damerham or Martin, starting half an hour before the service begins. We also ring, If required, for weddings – usually on Saturdays and four or five times a year.

We practise alternatively at Damerham and Martin from 7:30 to 9:00 on Friday evenings.

Learners and visiting ringers are always welcome. It takes several weeks to learn to handle a bell and then the learner can begin learning methods – patterns in which the bells change order. Some methods are centuries old; some modern ones are composed with the help of computers.

Martin & Damerham Women’s Institute

We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. - usually at the Village Hall (but check the diary!) and usually with a speaker.

We also arrange theatre trips and other outings. We support local organisations by helping at events

We are a member of the Fordingbridge Group of WIs which also runs events and we express our opinions through the aegis of the National W.I. Movement.

The Martin and Damerham WI has its own website at:

Neighbourhood Watch

Getting together with your neighbours to take action can cut local crimes.

Damerham has a Neighbourhood Watch scheme and all residents are automatically members.

The scheme doesn’t mean we have more police officers in the village, instead its purpose is that we all keep a neighbourly eye on local properties, and the village generally, and report any concerns to the nearest scheme contact.

Your nearest contact has a supply of forms that can be used if you want to advise the police (or your Neighbourhood Watch contact) when your property is unattended so that a lookout can be kept for any unusual activity.

Our scheme is affiliated with the National Neighbourhood Watch Association.

Some insurance companies, the Norwich Union in particular who sponsor the National Neighbourhood Watch Association, offer a discount to people who are members of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.

Royal British Legion

We are the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

We co-ordinate poppy collections for four villages and provide “Christmas Comforts” to war widows in those villages.
