Extensive programme of talks. Alert Record formerly entitled Lower Test Valley Archaeological Study Group. The work of the Group is now being continued as the Romsey Local History Society: 'Despite its name, its main activity was in the field of local history. As now, the LTVAS Group was run by a committee. The committee had originally consisted of 3 sections, namely "History", "Friends of Botley Road Cemetery", and "Archaeology" but this structure has since morphed into a single entity now known as the "Romsey Local History Society".'

'Supporting the Trust are The Friends of Saddleworth Archaeological Trust, a group of some 70 members who meet on a monthly basis ... on Tuesday evenings.

However the Website of the Trust itself no longer seems accessible and:'in 2012 the Friends Saddleworth Archaeological Trust (FoSAT) merged with the Friends of Castleshaw Roman Forts' - so I have cited the latter's Website instead.
