Membership fee is £5 a year, renewable at the AGM in September each year, with the exception of 2020. We hope to renew memberships
in September 2021. Normally, members pay £1 at each meeting to help pay for the hall and boost funds. Visitors are always welcome at meetings and other activities for a modest £2
contribution. Our members - nearly 100 - have access to our archives at regular intervals and are able to join our research team.
We all happily research the last 1000 years in Worle, live happily with our memories, enjoy the here and now and plan for the future. Such fun.

Research Team is getting together again. Online, of course. We shall be considering new projects. One suggestion is to reconstruct village Worle in the 1850s for an exhibition. This photo is a favourite corner of Worle which features the Valiant Soldier, the cottages and The Bell House. Censuses, maps, newspaper cuttings all calling to us.
Any other suggestions?
Brian's "Chronological History" of Weston-super-Mare runs to 440 A4 pages with a full 3 part index of people/places/things.
He has sent us lists of the projects completed which appear on the new page.
Click on the link at the top of the page above to see his list and other contributions of Worle documents wills/deeds. Happy hunting.
Brian has won the 2020 BALH Award for Personal achievment. Hurrah!
Sincere thanks to all our contributors to the fundraising book for Weston Hospital Staff Wellbeing fund. The fund has received £525 already and we have covered our costs. The remaining books will be available on sale in Weston Museum shops when it re-opens and in Weston Hospice shops across Weston and Worle.
We are hoping to arrange a get together for our 50 contributors when and if we get through the pandemic!
