Pigeon club
Farrington Gurney has a successful fanciers' club, although the premises are not too opulent. But then, the pigeons will fly in and don't need a door.

BMX track
A little story about this track: three young villagers, 14-year-old Josh, 12-year-old Ben and 10-year-old Eleanor Hobbs wrote to the local council tentatively asking for a BMX track to be provided. However, the idea was approved and brought about an unusual response. The planned track was built with much local help and efforts - all helping to reduce the actual cost to the council. In the end, it required £4,000 - much less than using outside contractors. The land was part of late farmer Richard Jeffery's farm and his son and daughter-in-law donated the space, which now commemorates him.
Hearing about the villagers involvement, Prime Minister David Cameron wrote to congratulate the work.

Farrington Gurney C of E Primary school
The school has provided education in the village for over 160 years. This part appears to be old, with a solid looking door and above it the stone legend of 'M.M. 1894'. At the base of the doorway is a benchmark - see Image
