The Society organises two weekend meetings each year. The Annual General Meeting is held in early October in Barnstaple, North Devon. Spring meetings take place in various locations with a particular Williamson connection, such as the Lewisham area of London, North Norfolk, and Bedfordshire. 

 

 

A weekend programme typically includes a major presentation and Society Supper on the Saturday evening, with talks, discussions, slides, displays, films, walks and visits to places of especial Williamson interest occurring over the rest of the weekend. 

 

 

Several tours of the Battlefields of France have also been arranged in the past, and places on these were highly sought after.
