Welcome to The Tommy Cooper Society
A very warm welcome to the Society's revamped website. Please bear with us as we develop it over the coming weeks, and we welcome any constructive comments on how to improve the site.
We aim to keep you updated on forthcoming events and also then to feature reports and photographs of the day as well as bringing you news of the Society's progress in achieving its longer term aims.

The Society is based in Tommy's birthplace of Caerphilly and was formed in 2003. It is currently in theprocess of registering with the Charity Commissioners. The original aim was to raise funding for erection of a statue to Tommy, and this was unveiled by the Society's patron, Sir Anthony Hopkins in February 2008.
The longer term aim is to encourage young and disabled people to get involved in the performing arts. The Society has held a number of entertainment events at the Caerphilly Workmen's Hall and is hoping to work more closely with this venue in the future in order to promote the performing arts in the area
Maybe one day we will be able to hold an annual event to award 'Coopers' - which will be Caerphilly's answer to the Hollywood Oscar ceremony, or even a Feztival of fun!
Fund-raising events continue to support our aims, and you could help us by getting involved and becoming a member. As with any event involving Tommy Cooper, all these events are done with a smile on the participants faces, - just like that!
