Antiquarian horological society

Hi guys, quick question,

are any members here a member of the society above? If so is it worth joining etc etc. 
Got a birthday coming up and a relative has asked if I would like a membership?

Dont want to waste their money if you see what I mean.

I have never been a member of this. I think it depends where the person lives, if you live out in the country side and transport is a problem I don't think you will get much out of it. You could go on their web site and see if they have meetings near you. I wasn't that impressed with their magazines, for me too much on the watch side.   I was a member of the B H I years ago. If you are more interested in Clocks, get a membership to clock magazine UK, you will get a lot of info out of that.

That is just my opinion.

I've been a member of the AHS. It's very good value in terms of the magazines which the distribute.

Cheers for the input guys very much appreciated, OH I’m happy with watches and clocks, more watches ( less room you see ) I do the odd clock which I really enjoy. 
rodabod, thank you for the info, they do seem to be able to offer a lot of information both electronic and physical. 
I think I’ll go for it, the BHI might have to wait a little longer for my membership.

I have been to two meetings, the last was cancelled due to covid19. Nice people and very interesting talks. But then I enjoy anything watch and clock related.
