The society was formed in 1974 by a group of local fanciers, many were miners from the two local colliery's -Ollerton and Bevercotes (hence the society's name). The clubs first president was Mr Henry Waby a local printer. Other founder members included Dennis White, John Callaghan, Phil White, Geoff Thomas, Eddie Yates, John Jarvis, George Day, John Newton, Noel Gozzard, Lee Gozzard, John Boyles and Bill Pike.
Former member Les Rodgers had the distinction of winning Best in Show at The National Exhibition in the 80s with a British Hybrid. The record entry of birds at an open show is over 1000, these days between 400-500 is the norm. Another sign of the society's past ties with the mining industry can be seen on some of club trophies, examples being The Ollerton Branch NACODS shield, The Bevercotes UDM Trophy and The Ollerton NUM cup to name but a few. Various venues have been used for shows these in order are The Old Welfare Annexe, The New Welfare, The long gone Mission Hall and presently The Jubilee Hall on Wellow Road.
