Administrative history
The River Foss Amenity Society was founded on 23rd July 1973 by W K Sessions. The first meeting was held at the Folk Hall, New Earswick, and the group was founded with the aim of focussing attention on practical ways of improving the footpaths and other amenities of the River Foss for the benefit of naturalists, fishermen, ramblers, and local residents.
In 1994 it was agreed to drop the word 'Amenity' from the name, and the society became the River Foss Society.
The Society continues to operate today.
