Would you like to join us?
Please contact us and we will gladly answer any questions you may have, or come to one of our meetings as a visitor. There you will be able to talk to other members of the Society and see if you find our meetings to your liking. We hope that you will join us after attending as a visitor.
How much will it cost ?
For the 2024/2025 season the membership fee is £10 per person. In addition, there is a £2 meeting fee for members and a £5 fee for visitors, each of which includes refreshments. Membership covers the period from 1 September to 31 August, and entitles you to attend all our meetings, any outings that may be arranged, and gives the benefit of affiliation to other national and local societies.
You may join us using this application form, or at our stand at the Portishead Summer Show, or at our next meeting.
Our aims and objectives are
- To enrich members’ knowledge and experience of Gordano and its surroundings.
- To express an authoritative and apolitical opinion and to stimulate public interest and concern on matters affecting the environment and the quality of life within the area.
- To assist and encourage County, National and other societies having similar aims and interests.
- Collecting and imparting local history. Local history books are available to borrow.
- To make an annual award to the building or improvement to the natural environment that has made a major contribution to the communities of the Gordano Valley.
