Meetings of the Norwegian Heraldry Society have untill recently unfortunately only been held in Oslo. Norway´s long distances and topography have made things difficult for members from other areas. On 25th March 2009 however, a meeting was arranged in Stavanger  with the aim of starting a local division of the Society in the Stavanger (Rogaland) region. Eight local people gathered to hear a presentation on heraldry by the Society´s chairman.
