About the Society

The inaugural meeting of the Society on 5th June 1973 was attended by about eighty members. 

The Society had four main objectives, namely:

  1. to promote the study and recording of the history of the area in all its aspects
  2. to foster interest in research and field work
  3. to publish, from time to time, the findings of the Society or of any member, or any other material aiding the attainment of the above
  4. to acquire, preserve, borrow and display, where appropriate, archives, artefacts and other objects of interest for educational purposes or the interest of the public
