Blundeston Local History Society was formed in 1975 under the Chairmanship of Revd Dr. Edward C. Brooks of Somerleyton, with the inaugural meeting held at Lothingland Middle School on 8th October at which the Guest Speaker was George Ewart Evans. Membership subscriptions were full membership £1 with OAP 20p and students 10p
(Membership at present is £2.50 with OAP?s and students £1.50) and renmains the same for 2010
New members will be most welcome to join.

Four meetings with speakers were arranged for each year, October, November, February and March, the February meeting included a buffet and because the weather could make travelling difficult a local speaker was preferred. This pattern still continues. Outings are arranged during the summer months and are generally take place in the evening..
Outings arranged for this year are listed below..
For many years four newsletters were issued each year, this has now been reduced to two.
A grant was awarded to the Society to produce a book on ?Blundeston, A Village History,? this was undertaken by two of the members, Olwen Offord and Iris Mayes. The book has now been completely sold out and copies are no longer available. Following the success of the publication of this book the authors are now working on a second book concentrating on the history of the Church.
