How to become a member.
If you have a beach hut in Poole, you are entitled to membership on the basis of one member per hut, which can be joint.

Members will receive quarterly newsletters and regular updates on important matters; also details of our social programme.
Achievements
We spent a considerable amount of time and energy in discussions with representatives of Poole Council on proposed changes to our tenancies. We are pleased to say that Poole Council withdrew their plans to restrict our tenancies to ten years and have agreed to allow us to renew annually as before. We have made a number of recommendations to them on the building of more huts in order to reduce the waiting lists and also to provide lockers for people without huts wishing to store their equipment.
The Future
We will continue to represent your interests and will take a close interest in the 25 year plan being developed by BCP. Two public meetings will be held during the course of the year, if necessary with speakers from BCP Council who will be pleased to discuss matters with you.
We also intend to develop a community spirit between beach hut owners and will be holding some social activities. You ideas and input will be strongly welcomed.
Help on the promenade
If you need to contact the Beach Office ( Sandbanks, sadly this office is closed ) their Temporary number is 01202 2161370 and their staff will be pleased to help you if issues crop up out of hours or you don’t have your phone to hand, the RNLI lifeguards have mobile numbers for the Seafront Rangers who can help with lots of problems including prom cycling breaches and anti-social behaviour problems.
We look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
Bob Lister (Chairman)
