The British Stickmakers Guild (BSG) was formed in 1984 by a small group of people who were interested in the very ancient craft of making or collecting walking sticks and canes.
The founder of this group was the late Theo Fossel.
Within the first year, this small group had grown to nearly 500 members, and numbers have grown yearly to its current level including people from many parts of the world.
Membership level seem to grow year on year.
