Penarth Local History Society (PLHS) is an independent group not attached to us, but we do work closely with them on delivering knowledge of local & historical interests, so we are now including their events in this list as they are of similar interests to ours. PLHS presentations take place on the 2nd Monday of each month (except August & December) at The Tabernacle Church, Plassey St. 1930-2100. Entry is £3 for non-members, with raffle available. Cash only. Membership of PLHS is £20 annually from Jan-Dec

Non PCS / Sub-group events of interest.​ We may also occasionally include other local historical / heritage events of interest in these listings that are run by 3rd parties (which may or may not include collaboration with us &/ our sub-groups). We list & link these merely as a courtesy only, and all details regarding the event are controlled by and under the responsibility of that 3rd party.
