The Airfield Research Group : The UK's Airfield Research Group was formed by a small number of like-minded enthusiasts around 1978. Initially producing a regular newsletter which was soon renamed 'Airfield Review', the ARG continues to record and publish a variety of detailed information on all aspects of civil and military airfields past and present.

Byfleet Fire Station : This rare surviving example of a Victorian village fire station was built at the West end of High Road in 1885 by notable local MP and former Lord Mayor of London Sir John Ellis and served the village until closed in 1963. Owned by Surrey County Council, it was designated a Grade 2 Listed building in 2008 and thanks to a partnership of Brooklands Museum, the Byfleet Heritage Society and other local organisations, this historic building is now under gradual restoration for a heritage-related community use. Since 2008, volunteers have researched its history, secured grants and sponsorship, organised professional conservation and condition surveys, prioritised and carried out essential repairs, staged regular public open days and improved the building's internal and external appearance. In November 2009 a new development of retirement flats (appropriately named Ellis Court) was completed beside the fire station. Roof repairs were made in 2012 and, with the aid of two further grants, the electrics were totally renewed in 2013 and all exterior doors were repaired and repainted in 2014.
