About

The Society meets once a month normally on the first Monday of the month at 7.30pm for a programme of lectures. We now meet in the Lesser Hall in the Bearsden Hub, 66 Drymen Road, Bearsden, G61 3QT.

In addition we organise outings to places of historical interest in the Spring.

Membership is £15 per annum and visitors are welcome to attend single lectures, for which the fee is £4 (50 pence for juniors). Tea is served after the talk and there is an opportunity to chat and socialise.
