Established by our founder Sir Evelyn Wrench in 1915, Overseas is the quarterly membership journal for the Royal Over-Seas League.
The journal is a key method of communication with our global membership; connecting and inspiring with a range of thought-provoking, non-partisan editorial, while also updating members on news and events from the Club itself. Overseas reflects the international outlook and geography of its worldwide readership.
Overseas is published quarterly in March, June, September and December and is available online and from the clubhouse. Recent issues have covered topics such as philanthropy, language, the arts, the Commonwealth, and the natural world among others.
Members can also exclusively access our extensive archive dating back to 2012.
In Bloom: Celebrating the power of plants
Refocus: Fresh perspectives for a new year
Waterways: How freshwater habitats inspire and connect us.
Overseas reaches a global audience of over 10,000 members, reciprocal clubs in over 30 countries and our UK-based partner organisations, along with friends and supporters of the Club. Our readership has a balanced male/female split with approximately half UK based, with the remainder residing in Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe.
Typically professionals with an international outlook, our members share a common interest in the organisation’s aims and values and enjoy the arts, culture and travel.
