It is an annual gathering of ‘hereditaries’ (landowners in the old Ede-Veldhuizen neighborhood) on the third Thursday of September.
Purpose: To discuss the management of common property (such as the Neighborhood Forest), heathland maintenance, the Ede sheep flock, and current neighborhood matters.
The Neighborhood Meeting is a lively form of local self-governance.
Tradition: The Old Church rings its bells as a summons.
Only the hereditaries have voting rights, but the meeting is open to interested parties.
