After careful consideration over the past few months, the sponsors have taken the difficult decision to bring the Fursty Foresters Society (FFS) to a close with immediate effect.

While we’ve greatly enjoyed the camaraderie, conversations and connections that FFS has created over the years, the time and organisation required to run the group – coupled with dwindling attendance numbers – has made it increasingly challenging to continue.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our regulars and supporters who have joined us at events, shared ideas and helped make FFS what it was. It’s been a pleasure to build a community of local professionals who value genuine relationships and good company.

Thank you again for being part of the journey – we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together and we’re sure we’ll still see a lot of you out and about!

Warm regards,
The FFS Sponsors

Exclusively for leading local businesses around Ringwood and the New Forest area, the Fursty Foresters Society was launched in 2018 to appeal to owners/leaders within those organisations. A relaxed and informal club to unwind and share experiences over a drink or two with like-minded people. The emphasis is to keep the club relatively small, no more than 50 companies, and by invite and referral only from its members so we ensure the integrity of its values of Fun, Fellowship and Support… or FFS for short!

Like what you hear? Get involved…

We always meet the First Fursday of every month straight after work from Five Furty onwards at The Cellar in Ringwood. There is no pressure on making it every month. As business owners, we know the pressure of running a business and finding time to unwind but also how useful it can be to share challenges with others who have also been there and done it, so come as often or as little as you like. The key is that you enjoy it!

  • "When I arrived at my first Fursty Foresters Society at the brilliant Ringwood Brewery venue on a hot summer's evening after accepting an invite from one of the society sponsors, DPD's Simon Hawtrey-Coombs, I did not know too many people. That soon changed as the informal setting created a perfect way to meet so many leaders of so many great businesses in the area, By the end of the evening I had more than just connections, but friends in business. What a brilliant way to engage with like-minded people."
