[1][2][3] The Society publishes a monthly newsletter which keeps members up to date on PBFS activities and provides news from bluegrass events around the province, such as summer festivals, concerts, and jam sessions.

[9] Through bringing together musicians from around Ontario, the Society's monthly meetings and jam sessions have led to the formation of a number of bluegrass bands over the years.

In late 1977 a group of sixteen bluegrass enthusiasts in Ontario County (now Durham Region) began organizing "Pickin' Sessions" in their homes.

[10] In 1979 the club was incorporated as the Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society, elected its first executive, and created bylaws which specified annual family memberships.

[1] In 2002 the Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society moved its meetings to the Woodview Park Club House, which has a large upper hall and several rooms of different sizes on the lower level.
