• The Wodehouse Society is an association of agreeable human beings who, regardless of age, sex, race, creed or other idiosyncrasies, share an admiration of Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (hereinafter referred to as Plum) and the rich products of his imagination.

• The Society strives to keep the literary legacy bequeathed by Plum fresh in the public mind. It encourages young readers to read, confirmed readers to continue reading, publishers to publish, booksellers to supply, and libraries to lend the books of this master of gentle satire and sparkling humor.

• The Society encourages secondary schools, colleges, and universities to include Plum in their curricula as one of the few authors who deserve inclusion in both English and American Literature. The Society encourages the establishment of chapters and branches in all countries of like-minded men, women, and children who possess a passable degree of literacy, a sense of humor which was not stifled at birth, a congenial disposition, and general agreement with the objectives outlined here.

• In the unlikely event of a dissolution of the Society, assets remaining in its treasury after payment of indebtedness shall be transferred to the Library Fund, Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture, Doylestown, PA.

• This constitution shall serve as a guide to The Wodehouse Society until such time as it is amended or superseded by the membership.

In 1997, the society actually got together and approved a Constitution for real.
