Until today, I had never heard of the Solent Protection Society until today. A picture of a plaque erected by the SPS was posted on the 365 project website.
As soon as I saw the picture of the plaque, I got quite excited. Does the society still exist? A quick check of the WWW shows that it not only exists but is very active.
The frustrating thing is that from my initial look at the society it covers the area with what I had defined as the current version of my hobby project “Locality” which you might have guessed from the SPS’s name, the Solent from west to east.
Why is something which clearly aligns with my interests and only costs £20 per year frustrating? Because by the end of the year I expect to be redefining the parameters of locality.
Nonetheless, I may join the society anyway. It also makes me wonder what societies there are in the area that we are moving to. Some research is warranted I think.
