The constituency of New Forest West is bordered in the east by the Lymington river and in the west by the River Avon which runs into Christchurch.  It stretches from the coast up through the New Forest and the Avon Valley to the county boundary with Wiltshire, just north of Breamore.

The main population centres are New Milton and Barton-on-Sea, Lymington, Ringwood and Fordingbridge.  In addition, it contains a number of tranquil and picturesque villages within and just outside the New Forest National Park.  The beautiful coastal scenery and the history and nature of the New Forest make the constituency a popular location for tourists.

The Association is the local branch of the Conservative Party and its objective is to sustain and promote the objects and values of the Conservative Party within the New Forest West Parliamentary Constituency:  to provide an effective campaigning organisation in the Constituency;  to secure the return of Conservative Candidates at elections;  to contribute funds to the central Party;  and to raise the necessary funds to achieve all of these objectives.

The Association comprises only fully paid up Party members.  These members are grouped into Branches which are located in the towns and villages across the constituency.

The governing body of the Association is the Executive Council (which comprises the Officers' Team and up to three representatives from each Branch).  The day-to-day administration of the Association is vested in the Officers' Team.
