The society meets weekly at the Old Bridge Inn, Ripponden, Yorkshire and also organise a famous annual pork pie competition every March. This popular event is now in its 18th year (2010) and all proceeds go to charity (this year making nearly £2000). Pork Pie makers from all over the country participate by submitting four 'show pies' per entry and also make a pie donation. The donated pies are sold as 'pie and peas' during the day thus making money for the chosen local charities and also allowing pork pie fans, and passing members of the public, to eat some of the best pork pies in the country. Judging takes place in and around the pub with a local brass band playing in the background and for pork pie lovers there's no better day.
