The Society promotes interest in the history of Olveston and surrounding areas and collects and preserves documentary and photographic records.
We meet at the Methodist Church on the first Wednesday of each month from October to April with guest speakers on topics as diverse as The Severn Channel during the Ice Age and Concorde. In Summer we usually have two or three field trips, often following up talks given during the previous winter. Visitors are always welcomed and, more often than not, recruited.
SGMRG was set up by local people to understand, record and where appropriate preserve the remains, of what was once an extensive industry, for the present community and future generations.
SGMRG is a voluntary organisation that relies on grants and donations from local people. Our membership is made up of archaeologists, surveyors, historians, engineers, cavers and those simply interested in finding more about what lies under their feet.
We have regular meetings, walks and talks including the opportunity to get involved in exploration, archaeology and resotoration work. If you would like more information contact the Chairman Roger Gosling:

We meet monthly to hear speakers deliver talks covering a range of historical and archaeological topics. The meetings are relaxed, we even have refreshments to enjoy during an interval! The talks, accompanied by PowerPoint slides and the occasional film, cover a very wide range of topics of historical interest.
The speakers are very knowledgeable about their subjects, we often have lecturers from UWE and Bristol University and others who have spent many hours researching their topic. Whoever the speaker is they know what they are talking about!
Our meetings take place on the second Tuesday of the month starting at 7.30pm, and we meet from October through to May. Guests welcome £2.50, or annual membership £10.
