The gas industry had existed for almost a century when the Society of British Gas Industries was formed at the end of 1905.
The first formal General Meeting (AGM) of the Society was held on 27th February 1906, at which the Provisional Committee was replaced by the General Council and Officers.
The Government declared War with Germany on 4th August 1914, which was to have an enormous impact on the whole country.
