Present Day
A final change of name created the present 'Royal Bath and West of England Society', and in 1994 the society was registered as a full charity under British law. The society continues to organise events around the west of England including a flower show and the Royal Bath and West Show, which in 2005 attracted 150,000 visitors. The current president of the society is HRH The Countess of Wessex.
The Royal Bath and West Showground is the location for many events throughout the year, including the New Wine and Soul Survivor summer conferences.
