My thanks to Juanita Shepherd and Margaret Matthews for this information

Dransfield's 'The History of Penistone' records that in 1807 the society met at the house of Thomas TAYLOR at Saltersbrook in July and November to return strayed sheep to their owners.

         By 1898 the Shepherds' Society had increased in size massively and meetings were held in many more places to accommodate the increase in membership.  According to the preface of the Rule Book meetings were held at the Millers' Arm, Saltersbrook on 20th July and 5th November; at the Pack Horse Inn, Hayfield on 12th July and 7th November; at the Snake Inn, Woodlands on 15th July; and the Royal Oak Inn, Glossop on 1st November. Members paid two shillings and sixpence which included the cost of dinner at the meeting and "the general expenses of the meeting".  It seems that members had to be kept more in order as Rule 13 states "That if any member of this society shall cause any quarrel or disturbance to arise at any of the aforesaid meetings, every member shall forfeit two shillings and sixpence or be expelled from the society".
