The Hilliard Society of Miniaturists was formed at the end of 1981 by Rosalind Pierson and Sue Burton and a group of artists based in England's West Country, in the historic Cathedral city of Wells. Sue and Rosalind believed that at that time most people knew very little about miniature art - its history or its present day form - and wanted to rectify the situation by bringing miniatures to the attention of a wider audience.

The Dorothy L Sayers Society was founded in 1976 to promote the study of the life, works and thoughts of this great scholar and writer, to encourage the performance of her plays and the publication of books by and about her, to preserve original material for posterity and to provide assistance for researchers. It acts as a forum and information centre, putting members in touch with other workers and sources of information, and providing for study purposes material not otherwise available.
