Huntingdon Branch
The Huntingdon Branch was formed on Saint George's Day in 2004 to promote the key objectives of the Royal Society of Saint George in fostering a love of England, its history and traditions. To keep fresh the memory of those who serve or have served England, their achievements in social history and the arts and to encourage the celebration of Saint George's Day wherever those with a love for England Gather.
The Branch regularly meet socially throughout the year and are pleased to welcome members and their guests to all our events.
