Events

 
The Baldock Society holds a general meeting for members at 8pm on the third Thursday of each month (except December) at Baldock Community Centre, Simpson Drive, Baldock SG7 6DH.
 
Meetings offer an update on Baldock Society Committee activity during the previous month and offer members the opportunity to discuss and feed back on issues affecting the town. Meetings then continue to a talk on one of a variety of subjects. This year's talks are detailed below.

Entry is free to Baldock Society members and costs £1 for visitors (which can be put against your membership if you join on the night). Refreshments are included and there is a raffle.
