  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.
