In 1987 a group of Villagers came together and discussed the formation of a Village History group. It was decided that a Society should be formed which not only recorded the history of the village but also encouraged interest in local history and topical subjects. Hence the name Past and Present.
The Society has an annual programme of 9 talks to which everyone is invited.
Meetings take place in the Village Hall at 7.30pm on the first Tuesday of each
month.
The annual subscription is £30 which for the 9 talks works out at £3.33 per meeting with tea and coffee included!
You do not have to be a member as you are very welcome to pay £5 on the door and come to any talk which interests you.
The 2024 annual summer outing will be a tour of Bury St Edmunds with Tour Guide Mike Read.
The Society holds an extensive range of Tostock Village History Archives. These are being moved to the Village Hall and sections will be displayed at various village events. Work is also underway to digitise the Archives.
