Welcome to the Pagham and District Residents’ Association (PDRA) website. We hope that you will find this site useful and informative about the events happening in Pagham.
The PDRA has been actively serving its members in Pagham and the surrounding area since 1964. In 1971 we started operating a limited minibus service to members with a vehicle loaned from Chichester Urban District Council. The service was for those who found it difficult to get to a bus stop and who required a door-to-door service. Over 50 years on, this service is more active than ever. The bus is out every day and sometimes at the weekend.
Our recently purchased, 2024 registered, minibus currently operates weekly trips to Bognor Regis town centre, Tesco, shops in and around the Shripney Retail Park area and the M&S Foodhall at Portfield in Chichester.
Separate from shopping, on Monday’s we take a weekly trip to the swimming pool at Felpham. There is a twice a month visit to Pagham Village Hall for our ever-popular Coffee mornings and finally, once a month, the Ladies Supper Evening group venture out to a local restaurant.
We also support local groups with twice a month trips to Pagham Village Hall for the Chestnuts group and twice a month to St. Ninian’s Church for the Pagham Lunch Club.
Our latest venture is the Theatre Bus. This offers members a free door to door service to the Festival and Minerva Theatres in Chichester for either the matinee or evening performances.
In 2024, we carried over 2,400 members to shopping and coffee mornings, and a further 1,400 members to other events, figures we are really proud of.
