What we do :
The Society holds regular meetings at St Cuthbert's Church (see Events), and assists with enquiries
about Brislington and family connections. Members receive a regular newsletter. We would welcome any information, photographs etc you may have about Brislington to add to our
knowledge and to record for future generations.
The Society meets on the last Thursday of the month, at St Cuthbert's Church Crypt, Sandy Park Road, Brislington, commencing at 7.30pm. Meetings comprise a talk, which may be illustrated,
by a Society member or invited speakers, on issues of general or local historic interest. We aim to provide at least two Brislington-themed events each year.
