The Cory Society Annual General Meeting is
held in London one weekend each June. Members
meet in the morning for Society business and
elections followed by an address by the Chairman. We
enjoy a buffet lunch and take the opportunity to
socialise. After lunch we resume with a lecture on a
family history topic, sometimes finishing on the
Sunday with an arranged tour.
The
Aims of the Cory Society are to:
Inform our members of the accumulated
knowledge of the history and genealogy of the Cory
family, by books, newsletters etc;
Stimulate research, and to co-ordinate all
research contributions;
Stage meetings and reunions on an occasional
and regular basis;
Affilliate with such bodies capable of
assisting the Society;
Provide an advisory function to assist
members with their research;
Maintain data banks of the accumulated
knowledge;
Liaise with overseas societies and exchange
delegates at conferences.
Membership:
We issue newsletters to
members three times a year. These include
articles about various Cory ancestors and information
to help with your research. Contributions
to the Newsletter are welcome from members and
non-members alike and can be sent to the Editor at
the above e-mail address.
The Society arranges trips each
year for its members, to places with connections to
the Cory family. Previous trips have included
Bramerton, Kettlestone and Caister St Edmunds in
Norfolk, Cardiff, Launceston in Cornwall, Harpole in
Northants and Jersey. These annual gatherings and
other arranged events are an excellent opportunity of
getting to know fellow enthusiasts and perhaps to
meet distant cousins that you never knew you had.
If you would like to join the Cory
Society, membership is £12 (UK); $27 (US); C$40
(Canada); A$40 (Australia) and NZ$43 (New Zealand)
per year. An application form for new
membership or renewal (see left hand column) can be
printed out and posted to our Membership Secretary.
