Joining the Society

Everyone is welcome to attend our evening meetings – in Stroud town centre.

Afternoon meetings and visits are for members, who are also invited to other history events locally.

Our members are a mix of new-comers and those who have lived here a long time. We have a few researchers, but most members are just interested in their locality.
