Our Open Day is always the highlight of the Society's year. It gives us the chance to meet members from all over the country, who come to visit and view the many stalls. And it gives you, the researchers, the chance to view the stalls not just of each of our branches but also those of other Family History Societies and organisations from as far afield as Cornwall, and the stands of booksellers, microfiche producers, specialist computer software retailers and many others.
We hold our Open Day in the ever popular venue of County Hall in Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran, and the previous Open
Days held there were voted a resounding success by all who attended: this was thanks to the enthusiasm and hard
work of Malcolm Otton, its Organiser, and all our other volunteers.
Each year, our own Society has nine stalls.
- Gwent FHS - Abergavenny/Monmouth Branch
- Gwent FHS - Blackwood Branch
- Gwent FHS - Chepstow Branch
- Gwent FHS - Ebbw Vale Branch
- Gwent FHS - Newport Branch
- Gwent FHS - Pontypool Branch
- Gwent FHS - Publications Sales
- Gwent FHS - Trips
- Gwent Pedigrees
Nine other neighbouring Family History Societies are attending to date, each with their own stall:

... as well as fourteen other commercial stalls selling or advising on specialist books, maps, computer software, and other genealogy aids (mostly the familiar names of our friends who support us each year, but including one or two welcome new names):
