Time brought change to the area, particularly on the hills to the east and south of the village. By 1990, concern about the impact of development on the historic village led to the formation of a sub-committee of the society, namely the Clayburn Village Heritage Committee.
The Clayburn Village Community Society is the successor to the Clayburn Society which was originally established in 1917 to promote community spirit with recreational, cultural and athletic endeavors. These objectives have expanded to include promoting the educational value of local history and encouraging the preservation of heritage sites. Community effort resulted in a group of residents banding together to purchase the old school in order to preserve its heritage value.
Clayburn Village Community Society membership can be given to someone outside the village if approved at a Clayburn Village Community Society general meeting. Community event dates and society meeting times vary. There is no wheelchair accessibility.
