Celia The Society of Dorset Men - if this is one and the same - founded 7 July 1904 continues to thrive ! Judging from the newsletters they appear to be quite active, and although not a member, I always enjoy their annual Dorset Year Book, which is full of interesting Dorset tid-bits from years gone by, as well as keeping up to date where appropriate - last year's edition was GBP5.00. See: http://www.dorsetmen.freeuk.com/ for contact addresses, newsletters etc. Regards Paul 50.33.50N 02.26.70W
