A Brief History of the Society

The Society was inaugurated on Thursday 16th July 1981 at a meeting in the Grand Hotel, Balbriggan, when the present title was adopted.  The consensus of opinion was strongly in favour of the establishment of a vibrant historical and cultural society which would promote an interest in the culture and history of Balbriggan and surrounds.

Non-Society members can, of course, attend individual talks for an entrance fee of €5 but, apart from the other benefits of membership, it is much better value to become a member than pay for each talk. Membership entitles adult members to free admission to all talks and to vote at the AGM. (Children under 18 are not entitled to vote.)
