Objectives of the Society
The Odiham Society's primary objectives are to
protect and enhance the heritage, character and environment of the Parish
of Odiham, which includes North Warnborough, and to explore its history
and development.
To this end the Society represents the interests of members and the wider
community in local planning and other issues, while seeking to stimulate
public interest and participation in its work through publications, talks,
visits, events, exhibitions and historical research.
