Other Wodehouse Societies

There are many Wodehouse societies worldwide; here are the ones we know about:

  • The P.G. Wodehouse Society (UK). Yes, you guessed right, this society is based in the UK, although it has members worldwide. Their excellent newsletter is called Wooster Sauce and is well worth the price of membership, which is £15 per annum.

  • The P.G. Wodehouse Society. Based in The Netherlands, this is the oldest Wodehouse society and the only one whose existence PGW knew of in his lifetime. Please direct information and membership inquiries to: Josepha Olsthoorn, Parnassusweg 127 NL-1077 DE Amsterdam The Netherlands.
