Formed in 1980 with the aim to preserve and enhance the village of Morton. Since we were formed we have achieved much in the village - our main achievement being 'The Village Green' that we were responsible for. However that is also our biggest drain on our resources and we are always looking for sponsors and donations to help the funding of the Society. Our Annual General Meeting is held normally in July every year, where all members are very welcome to attend to hear what we have done in that year or to discuss any other issues.
