Bournemouth & Poole Preservation Club was formed in November 1979 and was set up to promote Preservation and to support those in the area who were interested in preserving or collecting. Our membership is not restricted to people living in Bournemouth or Poole and we have members who live in all surrounding areas such as Wimborne, Christchurch and Lymington and even Wales.

Are you the owner of a Classic or Vintage Vehicle, a Stationary Engine, a Military vehicle or even a Steam Engine; or do you have an interesting collection of bottles, thimbles, beer mats, toy cars or postcards?  If so we could be the Club for you. We also welcome those who are not fortunate enough to own any of the above, but who like minded and  interested in preserving our past, for future generations.

 We meet on the second Thursday of every month at Hamworthy Sports & Social Club, Magna Road, Canford Magna, Wimborne, BH21 3AP from 7.30p.m in the venues main function room.  We may have a quiz, an auction night, collections night, BBQ evening, play skittles, have a slide show or guest speaker, or just sit and talk to friends, we also hold a raffle draw at the end of each meeting.
