Calstock Parish Local History Group
The group was formed in April 1999, and has some 200+ members. We meet on the last Saturday of the Winter months at Tamar Valley Methodist Church, Albaston to listen to a talk given by one of the group, or a visitor. During the Summer months, different visits or field trips are organised. The group publishes a newsletter, called Tamar History, three times a year with reports of recent meetings and a brief look at news and research.
Membership fees are £6 per annum + £2.50 post and packing (£5 post and packing for overseas members). Information can be sent by email for £6 only. We are formally affiliated to Calstock Parish Archive, with 50% of the subscriptions being donated to the Calstock Parish Archive Trust.
