Introduction

Groomsport is a small seaside village on the Southern shore of Belfast Lough, Northern Ireland. This website has been set up by Groomsport Village Association committee, in order to publish material of benefit.

The Committee

The members of the committee are elected on an annual basis. The Annual General Meeting is held during the Autumn months (usually in the boat-house), when villagers meet to elect a new committee and to air their views about village affairs in general. This meeting can be lively!!

Communications

The Committee can be contacted from this website or via a postbox in the local Spar shop. These messages will be directed to the Hon. Secretary who will bring their contents to the attention of the committee. We publish a newsletter roughly every six months. It is distributed to every house in the village and copies will be available from this site

Recent Developments

Julie Walters, reporting in "Bangor Spectator " April 26th 2012, about the re-surfacing of B511 (Groomsport Road) had these complementary words to print about the work of Groomsport Village Association. In her piece (under the headline "Dangerous Bangor Road resurfacing welcomed") she wrote that...

" ...extensive lobbying by concerned residents such as Groomsport Village Association had helped bring about the resurfacing work.".

Naturally, the local elected representatives played a key role as well. It's very satisfying to have our efforts recognised once in a while!

Health Fair

The Health Fair will take place on Wed. 23rd May 2012. Get all the details from the posters in the local shops or here.
