Welcome to the
Romany Society website
  
The Romany Society was originally formed in 1943 and continued until 1965.  It was re-founded in 1996, with Mr Terry Waite as Patron and Mrs Romany Watt (Romany's daughter) as President. It was created to promote and encourage the study and appreciation of Romany of the BBC, his life and works.  There are over 300 members of all ages.

Important News: Vardo Restoration Appeal

Romany’s famous vardo, the smallest tourist attraction in the country, is still on display in Wilmslow and open to the public once a month during the summer.


Despite many minor repairs over the years the Vardo is now in poor condition and needs a thorough professional restoration.


Our Vardo Appeal was launched in 2011 - please take this opportunity to contribute to Romany's heritage.

 

Special Edition CD: Donors of £19.99 or over will receive a Special Edition of Romany's last broadcast on CD.


Or you can buy just the CD for £10 inclusive of postage. If you already have one this is an ideal gift for a friend!


To donate or order please send cheques, payable to The Romany Society, to Alastair King (Treasurer), 15 Albert Road, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5HT.


Thank you.
