PFS Meetings have been disrupted since 2020 because of Covid restrictions but the PFS Committee has regrettably decided to suspend meetings at Fort Nelson indefinitely. In the meantime regular Zoom webinars have largely replaced these meetings. Subjects that may range from Victorian guns to local history to world-wide military history.
One physical meeting each year is normally a visit to a local fort or gun battery not generally available to the public, and each year at least one visit is made to fortifications outside of the area. The Society’s Annual General Meeting is held at Fort Nelson each October.
