The Society organises a number of Summer Events, including visits, walks and trips to sites of interest within the region. New for this year, we will be holding a special exhibition in September.

The Council would welcome your suggestions for summer activities   – where would you like to visit that is normally closed to the public or otherwise ‘out of bounds’? Would you like the society to run day schools or other meetings in the summer?

We try to offer an excursion, visit or activity in each month May-September.

At present we are looking for a new Hon.Sec to lead on this work, so if you are interested please drop us a line!
