Who we are.

The Gosport Society is a non-political  Civic Amenity Society which is concerned with conservation, planning and Gosport's important history.

What we do.

•  A Planning sub-committee meets regularly to study plans, provided by the Gosport Borough Council, of planning applications in conservation areas of the Borough. Members of the committee  also attend planning meetings at the Town Hall.

• Our Editor compiles books of local interest,  which are listed on the Publications page of this website.

• A Social sub-committee organises social events for the society, which includes Summer and New Year Social Events, an Annual Dinner and speakers for meetings held at the Explosion Museum

• A twice yearly Newsletter  and annual programme are also sent out to all members.

• We also give awards  which will be made to recognise, and to stimulate public interest in, the restoration of historic buildings and structures in the Borough.  A Green Plaque will be presented for the best project. Nominations for the award may be made by anyone and forms are available from the Gosport Society or downloaded from this website if you click here.

• The society has, over the years, accumulated 600 plus slides.  The slides have now been digitised and are available by scanning the list shown and sending an email, stating the number of the image that is of  interest,  to earlybennett@aol.com . To read the list click here
