Welcome to the Churchgate Area Association
The Churchgate Area Association (CAA) is a residents association, representing all paid member residents and businesses in the medieval grid area of Bury St Edmunds.
As well as the information on this website, the CAA publishes a regular newsletter which is delivered to every house and business in the grid.
2025 Chairman’s Report
At our AGM in October, our Chairman, Vivien Gainsborough Foot, presented her annual report. You can read it here: chairman’s report 2024-5
Membership
Your membership at just £5 per year, includes entry to our popular April social evening and October AGM, both featuring engaging speakers and complimentary refreshments. Your support enables us to:
- Represent and protect the interests of local residents
- Keep members informed about developments affecting the area
- Liaise with local authorities and police
- Organise community events and social gatherings
- The Greene King Developments will of course have the biggest impact on our residents, and we hope with a continued strong membership we can continue to be proactive and represent our members concerns. The more members we have, the stronger our voice when representing residents and businesses on local issues.
The CAA Committee
We meet every month and welcome input on anything relevant to members. For the list of current Committee Members see above tab.
We hold two social events each year, one the AGM, usually with a speaker.
All CAA events are free to members and include free refreshments.
