We became a Scottish Registered Charity (registration number SC017201) in March 1988. The Charity's object is: 'To generate an interest in our town by encouraging the preservation of historical features and promoting interest in the cultural, social, and working life of the community in the past and in the presesnt.'
Our season of monthly meetings normally runs from September to June. All are welcome, whether members or not. We take a retiring collection at the close of every session to cover the expenses of organising and managing the series.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, our meetings in June and July were held online via Zoom and have been recorded; to view the recordings, go to our 'Recorded Meetings' Page.
