The Rider Haggard Society was formed in 1987 by a few fans of Rider Haggard's stories. The Society now contains members from Europe, United States, South Africa, Australia and Sri Lanka, and those from all walks of life, covering a wide age-span: the main qualification is a genuine interest in Haggard and his works. Benefits to members are listed below. Are you looking for
that elusive book or just a reading copy? We can provide books from just
a couple of pounds to the very rare at over £2500. A stock of over
500 books contains something for everybody. Please contact Roger Allen
for lists at rb27allen@blueyonder.co.uk or phone on 0191 2524516. Members
of the RHS get 10% discount off list prices. Four times a year a Journal is issued which looks at a major title as well as including recent publications and items of news. See below for contents listing of past issues. About every twelve or eighteen months a general meeting is held where members meet to buy and sell books, chat, listen to presentations or talks, which nearly always reveal something new about Rider Haggard and his works. In the evening a society dinner is held. Meetings have been predominantly in the Norfolk and Suffolk areas near Ditchingham, Kessingland and Bradenham. Past meetings have also been held in Lancashire, Whitley Bay, Garsington and Burwash. These meetings are always eagerly looked to and enjoyed immensely by members. |
