If so, you should consider joining us at the Dorset Clock Society (DCS). The objective of the Dorset Clock Society is to promote interest in and encourage the study of all aspects of clocks, clockmaking and any aspect of horology. The Dorset Clock Society pursues the objective in a social and amenable manner that fosters friendship.
We have been running for over thirty years and cater for those with an interest in the various aspects of horology. Some members are professional clock and watch repairers, and some are collectors, while others just have a general interest in clocks and enjoy the historical aspects of the subject.
We have about four meetings a year plus a summer social event, a celebratory Christmas dinner and occasionally a visit to a museum or collection. Our meetings usually take place on Saturdays at St. George's Church Hall, High Street, Fordington, Dorchester DT1 1LB.
Why not join us at one of our next meetings.
