About Us:
Welcome to the Surrey Branch of the OMRS. Anyone visiting in and around Surrey is assured a very warm welcome.
Branch members interests cover all fields of medal collecting and research and we are always happy to assist newcomers to the hobby with advice on research. The branch also tries to organise a medal related visit during the year and some of us have attended family history shows to give advice to family historians on finding out about any medals awarded to their ancestors.
Frequency of meetings:
We are currently meeting on the third Monday of the month, except December when it is the second Monday.
