The Provincial Society was formed at the inaugural Annual General Meeting on 1st March 2003 and was registered as a charity on 9 July 2004. It brings together people interested in all aspects of the operation and vehicles of the former Provincial Tramways Company, the Gosport and Fareham Omnibus Company and the Provincial Bus Company, together with all successor and associated companies from 1878 to the present day.

Upon joining, new members receive a membership card, members' handbook including a copy of the constitution and an enamel Society badge. There is a quarterly magazine  'Provincial Press' as well.
