They organised two public meetings in 1995, the first at The Victory Services Club near London's Marble Arch attended by cast member Colin Bean, and the second at Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire, the location used for Walmington-on-Sea in the 1971 Feature Film based on the show.

In 1998, to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1st episode, which had aired on tv in 1968, the society held its first major convention, at The Oval cricket ground in London, attended by all the surviving cast and crew.

[10] More recently, a 2009 gathering was held at Whitmore Hall at which Frank Williams was able to attend and speak to the society's members,[5] and before his death Colin Bean (who played Private Sponge in the series) regularly turned up to events, even though he used a wheelchair at the time.

[11] Since then (and from 1998) the Society has arranged annual events based at or around Thetford attended by the writers and cast members, including tours of the restricted Stanta Battle Area used for location filming.

In December 2020 a special section of the society's website was set aside for fan fiction written by the members, the first submission was made in January 2021 and was entitled Dad’s Army Negotiates Brexit and was by Niles Schilder.
