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
