Monthly Meetings and Speakers
The society hosts meetings, which are open to the public, every second Monday of the month from February to November.
Meetings feature a guest speaker who presents a local historical topic. Sometimes the format of the meeting may change to include a panel of speakers or open sessions in which members make short presentations of interest. A members only Christmas party is held in December at a venue of historical or heritage interest.
Our monthly meetings are held at: St Stephens, Tahunanui Drive, Nelson (opposite McDonalds). Doors open at 7pm and presentation begins at 7.30pm. Entry by way of a $2 donation.
