Here you will find all our Society's events. We also list the British Association of Local History's events where possible and anything else that we think is relevant to the Society.
We record most of our events and these can be found under the Past Meetings link. (Thanks go to Simon Danby)
All talks are held 7.30pm on the first Wednesday of the month and this year they will alternate between ‘In person’ at the Masonic Hall off Front Street, and on ‘Zoom.’
Entrance is free to members and £3 for visitors. Please would visitors on Zoom donate £3 electronically or, better still, support us (and the archives really need the cash to pay for running costs) by joining the Society for £13 per year
