THE GEORGE BORROW SOCIETY

 

The George Borrow Society was founded in July 1991 to promote knowledge of the life and works of George Borrow (1803-81).  Meetings are held each year, usually in July or September.  They normally include a dinner, other social events, talks on subjects related to Borrow and visits to places with Borrovian connections. The Society issues the George Borrow Bulletin to members each spring and autumn. This has about 100 pages and includes articles, news of past and future events and publications relating to Borrow.  Copies of the Bulletin are deposited in the copyright libraries (ISSN 0962-3930).  Back numbers are available at £4.00 each.

 

Membership is effective from 1 Apr and costs £15.00 a year for an individual and £22.50 for a couple at the same address.

The corporate subscription rate is £15.00 a year. For students the cost is £10.00 a year.

Life membership is £150.00
