Charlbury Society

THE CHARLBURY SOCIETY 

Formed in 1949, the Charlbury Society grew out of the first Charlbury Historical Exhibition. Its aims are to foster an understanding of the history of Charlbury and Oxfordshire, and encourage interest in the character and appearance of the town. It does this through talks, supporting the Charlbury Museum, and arranging outings to places of interest.

Individual membership £8.50
Family membership - two adults at same address - £17.00

Talks will be at 8 pm on the first Thursday of every month between October and May and will be publicised a couple of weeks before on Events. 
Following a very successful past season of talks by Zoom , we agreed, at the AGM, to consider returning in part to the Memorial Hall for some of our talks and that we would seek members’ views.  We carried out a survey as many of you know and overwhelmingly members felt that they would be more likely to attend a Zoom  meeting this season, although understandably some who work at a screen for much of their time would prefer to come out to the Hall. 
We have therefore devised the following programme in an attempt to accommodate all views:
