Latest Hobbes News - October 2026
A lot of work has happened since our Festival at the end of March this year. The Society have applied to the Charity Commission and I am delighted to advise that we are now a registered charity No. 1220002. Specifically we are a Community Incorporated Organisation and this is an important part of our Society’s development as we expand our activities. Work is underway for our 2027 Festival (see the Philosophy News page) and of course it’s that time of year when we get together in Hobbes’ birthplace for our annual supper and Hobbes talk. Many thanks to the committee for their ongoing hard work and they and myself hope to see you at the supper!
