We hold six talks each year in March, April, May, August, September and October. These are held at 8pm on the last Wednesday of the month in the Town Hall Balbriggan. We also have a Summer Outing each year and lead a Historical Walk as part of the Annual Summerfest. The Society also has a role in the restoration of Bremore Castle and is delighted to see the restoration coming near to completion and the Castle open for use.
Membership
Non-Society members can, of course, attend individual talks for an entrance fee of €5 (€3 for concessions) 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.)
- Adults: €15 per person per annum.
- Concessions (students & senior citizens): €10 per annum.
- Family (2 adults + children under 18): €20 per annum.
Please note that the membership year matches the calendar year (January to December).
