UPDATE: An Evening With English Thongs

Can we just inform members that there was a typing mistake in the last newsletter. Mrs. Rose's 'Evening with English Thongs' is not taking place on the 24th of January, but the evening of the 25th. We apologize for our mistake.

For those of you who don't get this message, Mrs. Rose has kindly agreed to be at the church hall on the 24th, with her collection of thongs.

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.
