Friends of Foxlease also started in 1962, a group of people who by their subscriptions are committed to maintaining the comforts of Foxlease and to enhancing the beauty of the gardens. With well over 900 members, an AGM is held at Foxlease in July each year and every member receives a Newsletter in February. There are opportunities for active service as well as financial contributions.
