'The Society ... carries on the traditions of its forefathers by means of a Winter lecture programme on sixteen Tuesday evenings. This embraces a wide variety of subjects: literature, art, philosophy and science to entertain and educate people of diverse interests, from all walks of life.'

'Founded in 1880 as the Hull Field Club. Our purpose is the study, recording and conservation of wildlife in the Hull and East Riding area. We are partners in the Hull Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) and we take part in several recording and monitoring schemes in the Hull area ... Our interests are wide and varied, encompassing all aspects of Natural History. Although birds and plants are often to the forefront we also take an interest in butterflies, dragonflies and other insects, snails, fungi and geology. We conduct weekly field meetings on Tuesday evenings between May and September each year ...  During the winter months we usually organise a few indoor meetings where members can exchange ideas and listen to short presentations.'
