INTRODUCTION

The Society aims to provide a variety of events across the year in order to provide interest to our members, guests and the local community. These events are run with the objectives of promoting the history of the Little River area to the public, fostering community spirit, publicising the activities and interests of the Society and generating fundraising to support the ongoing operation of the Society.

In addition to our regular monthly meeting, events conducted and planned to date include historical displays, special guest speakers, guided tours and social events. For further information regarding any of these events, please Contact the Society.
