The acclaimed Orwell biographer, Gordon Bowker,[2] in agreeing to review the book, suggested certain clarifications and in late 2006, Eric & Us: The Postscript Edition was published.

[3] The postscript edition was regularly discussed on a website called "Orwell Direct", creating a small community of enthusiasts whose first contributor was Sir Bernard Crick.

Richard Blair accepted the role as Patron, Charles Wiggin as Treasurer, Dominic Cavendish took on the editorship of the society's website, and Venables agreed to be Membership Secretary.

[5] On 28 April 2012, The Society held its first Annual General Meeting at Senate House, London, next to Room 101, made famous in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

[15][16] Richard Blair participated as one of the narrators in "Beyond Wigan Pier", an opera first performed in 2018,[17][18] aimed at attracting funding for students to attend Music & Drama school.

The Society's Annual AGM is typically held towards the end of April, usually at a location in London, each featuring a notable guest speaker.

In 2015, Dione Venables published the first collection of George Orwell's Poetry,[21] which was approved for public release a few months later,[22] with all proceeds from the book being donated to the society.
