Members are regularly involved at BHI Headquarters and contribute articles and branch reports to the Horological Journal.

We encourage those attending branch meetings to become members of the British Horological Institute, but visitors are always welcome.

In August 2004, to celebrate our 50th. anniversary, we mounted an exhibition entitled "ClockWatching" at Ipswich Corn Exchange on August 3-7, 2004. We exhibited a number of items at the BHI 150th Anniversary Exhibition in 2008, then at Tymperleys Museum in Colchester.

We are always looking for new members, and we welcome amateurs and professionals alike. Contact the Secretary here.
