The Society has a varied programme
throughout the year and meet on the last Thursday of the month
in the Gwernyfed Rugby Club, Trefecca Road at 7:30pm. We do not
meet in January, but otherwise have regular meetings, as can be
seen in the programme below.
In the Summer we organise a July trip, which generally follows up
a previous talk, as was done this year when we went to a couple of local mills
in the Brecon area.
The Society takes part annually in the Talgarth Festival in
August, in which we display some of the vast accumulation of
memorabilia collected over the years. We also organize a Christmas
trip every year in December; last year we visited Abbeycwmhir
House.
The Society has a friendly and vibrant membership of
approximately sixty, comprising an array of ages, and welcomes
visitors and new members.
