Stratford Society?

[MilkyBarKid]

Anyone know anything about this secretive group who appear to meet in private, yet seem to have quite an influence on the local media? Is it the political wing of the local Masons?

Do you mean Stratford Voice? If so, I'm currently hosting their site. The address is http://stratfordvoice.warwickshireonline.com

They're just a group of worried enthusiasts who don't want to see Stratford Ruined by bad planning.

I suspect you're talking about something more secretive though, if so I wouldn't know where to start. What has aroused your suspicions? :)

[Will]

Welcome by the way. :D

No - its not Stratford Voice - with whom I'm in agreement,
but a group which the local media quotes from time to time - I suspect they're a closed membership version of Stratford Voice.
Anyone know any more?

sounds to me a little like the Illuminati (http://www.masonicinfo.com/illuminati.htm) HAHA

Seriously though, it does sound similar to the Leamington Society (see my un-replied to post in the Warwick & Leamington section)

[ronlyre]

I think this is the group who are concerned about Stratford staying Stratford, as in buildings being painted nothing brighter than Grey, no exposed flesh on posters selling underwear, no drinking in Pubs, that sort of thing.
Either that or they're the one's who were recently exposed for regulary eating babies and practising human sacrifice.

Sounds like the Stratford Town Trust...

Mind you, it's often the same people on differant goups!

[Shizara]

Well, even if that should be the case then a subject can only increase it's coverage and when it is about proposed changes to your town be they good or bad depending on your perspective the usual method of promotion - if any - is not always reaching enough people so other groups bring the message out.

[dippydave]

probably just the bunch of shop keepers [trinket shops and café's ] that have been ruing , sorry ' running strat for years

[Will]

Well hopefully if enough people join SV and hear, the people will become the decision makers, as it should be.

The Stratford Society & Stratford Voice are different set-ups. SS seems to have been going for years;


The clue was there as to the nature of this society, but you all missed it.

Sure, I could read random pointless lists of names with added sarcasm all day. :)

Perhaps this smartass, who is so au-fait with the internet would tell us when this thread first started, and when the stratford society website first went live, and when it was first indexed by google. Lastly what it feels like to be shown to be ignorant having tried so hard to be clever.
