New Society Name – The Society For Poole

New Society Name – The Society For Poole

At the recent AGM nearly 90% of members attending voted to change the name of the Society to The Society For Poole.

The name has stayed for over 94 years and was established even before women had full voting rights in the country. Although the old name had a great history that we cherish, we needed to change the name so as to increase the appeal of the Society to both men and women. Unfortunately the membership has not grown recently and from discussions in the community the name is a factor. “This brings us into the 21st century and better reflects us as a Society and the many women who are presently members” stated Mike Pearce
