The Ickleton Society
The Ickleton Society is our village amenity group, which has now been running for some twenty years. The society was originally formed as a vehicle for promoting residents interests when the third London Airport was in the planning stage. Since this "preservation" activity was originally a central feature, it is still sometimes referred to as the "Preservation Society" - or "IPS" for short. However with the passage of time our scope has become much wider...
Planning
The society monitors planning issues in an effort to preserve our village and local environment while still responding to the needs of our community.
History
The society has a collection of archive material and memorabilia relating to the village and its surrounds. Photographs of streets and houses within the village, dating from 1900 to the present, as well as photographs of inhabitants, form an extensive part of the collection. We are in the process of cataloguing the collection and the current catalogue.
Social Activities
The society also organises various social functions and excursions throughout the year. They include trips to the theatre, the annual Boxing Day walk and carol singing. Details of forthcoming events are published in the Icene.
