Current membership of the Society is 87 and the cost of membership for the 2009/10 season is just £7.00 per person. 

The Society is open to all with a genuine interest in local history.  Just come along to any meeting, taken from the syllabus (shown below) and make yourself known to the Secretary on the door. The business of the Society is managed by an elected committee of officers which meets approximately quarterly, separately to member meetings.

The Society membership meets on the second Wednesday of every month, throughout the year.  Meetings consist of a winter and summer syllabus, with the winter programme being made up a series of invited guest speakers, and summer programme a series of visits and walks to places of local historical interest.

Winter meeting attendances average in excess of 50 members per meeting and summer visits, approximately 25 members per visit. The Annual General Meeting takes place as part of the October meeting. In addition, there is an annual day trip by coach to a place of interest further afield, and an annual dinner in March.  Both of these events are  charged at cost and are very popular with members. Winter meetings take place in a pleasant room at Elland Working Men’s Club, South Lane, Elland HX5 0HT. (There is a bar but of course smoking is not now permitted).  Meetings commence at 7.15 p.m. and usually end by 9.00 p.m.
