Latest News
As of the beginning of 2024 this website includes a number of pages that are exclusively for Society members. These pages include downloadable versions of our latest Newsletter and Journal, plus access to Society publications dating back to 1973 via our FlipBook library. There is a version of our online shop with its own price structure. Members might also be interested in a number of very early films, some dating back to the late 1890’s, that we have in our archives. Copyright restrictions mean that sadly we cannot share these publicly but do allow sharing to the membership. From time to time the Society are gifted items to sell to raise funds, the members pages will be used to offer these items to the membership only in the first instance.
Members need to log in to access these pages, please use the link at the foot of every page of this website
