Monthly meetings, Thursday evenings.

'Meetings are held on Friday evenings ... Talks will commence at 7.30 pm with tea and coffee available at 7.00 pm.'

'From September until July we meet (almost) every Monday night (Bank Holidays excepted) ... The start time is 7.30 pm but you are advised to get here by 7.15 pm to be sure of a seat and a chance to read the notice-board, have a chat and help with the setting up ...'

Festival usually held every two years in late May.

'Members are encouraged to bring guests to meetings. We hope that this will encourage new members to join the Society. A guest’s first visit to non-paying meetings is free, but after that a donation is expected for subsequent visits to cover meeting costs.'

Occasional talks, some organized by the local archaeology and geology societies. ALERT ‘Museum closed until Summer 2020.’

'We meet on the second Thursday in the month, September to April (inclusive).'

Occasional lectures, talks and related events, mostly in and around Dorchester and Dorset.

Series of Monday evening lectures, September to March: 'Free of charge, but by ticket only, available from school Reception (normally two weeks prior to the lecture). Donations are welcomed at the end of each lecture. (The money raised goes to charitable causes.)'
