The Nominations Process

After Sir Thomas Jones’ death, the executive committee has decided to open the floor to nominations from outside the Society to become the new President. They have asked that all members now forward the names of suitable applicants before the 31st May. They remind all Society members that the person who takes this post should be forward thinking and represent the very best qualities of thong wearers in the UK.

All nominations should be sent to the Society at the above address, marking them ‘President Nomination’.

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.
