The British Thong Society: Subscription Renewal Notice

Subscription Renewal Notice

Membership subscriptions are to rise by £2 this year, the first rise in nearly a decade. Members are advised to get their subscriptions in as soon as possible as we’re currently dealing with a backlog in applications after a huge rise in interest in thongs after Peter Goyle's excellent series of documentaries.

From October 2006, a year's membership to the society is now £22, which includes two copies of The Thong Journal and conference fees for the yearly Thong Conference.

Our Founder

Sir Henry Peel was one of the greatest minds of the late Victorian age. He was an explorer, discovering some of the remotest tribes of South America, and travelled widely in the East, including China and Japan where he was one of the earliest Europeans to adopt the wearing of the fundoshi.

Returning to England, Sir Henry became a philanthropist, eventually setting up The British Thong Society.

His death in 1927 was one of the widely reported events of the decade. Each year at the small family church in Knots End, Surrey, members of the British Thong Society lay a commemorative thong on his grave to mark the very great things Sir Henry achieved and our abiding loyalty to his legacy.
