Olveston Parish Historical Society
The Society meets at Olveston Methodist Hall on the first Wednesday of each month from October to April.
SGMRG was set up by local people to understand, record and where appropriate preserve the remains, of what was once an extensive industry, for the present community and future generations.
SGMRG is a voluntary organisation that relies on grants and donations from local people. Our membership is made up of archaeologists, surveyors, historians, engineers, cavers and those simply interested in finding more about what lies under their feet.
We have regular meetings, walks and talks including the opportunity to get involved in exploration, archaeology and resotoration work. If you would like more information contact the Treasurer Roger Gosling by email or on 01454 883607.
We are a section of Thornbury Museum, meeting at United Reformed Church, Chapel St on the first Thursday of every month at 7.30pm. Come along for an informal exchange of news, discussion and enquiries about local history and local family research. Contact 885087 for more details.
