The aims of the Society are to
a)    Encourage interest and research into all aspects of our local history.
b)    Conserve and maintain any documents and artefacts either donated or entrusted to the society.

Monthly meetings usually include a talk on some historical topic. There is an annual membership fee of £15 but non-members and visitors are welcome to meetings for a £3 entrance fee which includes tea/coffee and biscuits.

We had our annual Christmas quiz and buffet evening on Tuesday 3rd December at Cranborne Sports Club. Linda Bright tested our Christmas knowledge with a challenging and enjoyable quiz. Many thanks to her for the time and effort put into the quiz. There was also a free raffle for all members who attended.

Thanks to all the members who kindly donated food for the buffet; it was an excellent spread. Thank you also to the Christmas washing up elf who somehow got into the kitchen un-noticed and sorted out the dirty crockery!

And last, but not least many thanks to Steph and Neil for hosting us at the club again; a great venue.

We don’t have a meeting in January (our winter break) so our next one will be on Tuesday 4th February. The speaker will be Richard Hutley and the subject will be

‘Issac Gulliver – Smuggler’, the story of a renowned smuggler and his connections to Dorset.

Finally, we wish all our members and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for your continuing support over the last year. And stay safe in the awful weather which the latest storm is bringing!
