The Opportunity 
For those who are promoting products and services, the C20 Magazine is an excellent medium which enables advertisers to reach over 2000 members of The Twentieth Century Society who include architects, surveyors, designers, engineers, builders, conservation officers, owners of 20th century buildings including residential properties dating from 1914 to the present day and a wide range of professionals. This represents a significant and valuable market place. 
The Twentieth Century Society is a registered charity (no.326746) and is the national amenity society that fights to safeguard the best of architecture and design in Britain from 1914 onwards. The Society Campaigns for all types of building, from phone boxes to factories.

Origin 
The Twentieth Century Society was originally founded in November 1979 as the Thirties Society, in response to concern amongst conservationists and architects that buildings of the inter war period were not generally appreciated. They were threatened, sometimes by simple neglect, but often with demolition or radical and insensitive redesign in the name of redevelopment. By the early 1990s the Society was dealing with many post war cases, so the decision was made to change the name to The Twentieth Century Society.

Work 
The work of the society includes, campaigning for the preservation of the best buildings of the period, proposing buildings for listing, advising on restoration and conservation proposals and helping to find viable uses for good twentieth century buildings threatened with demolition.
Membership 
Members of the Society include architects, surveyors, designers, engineers, builders, conservation officers, owners of 20th century buildings and a wide range of professionals, as well as general members of the public who are enthusiasts of all periods and aspects of 20th century architecture and design.

Aims 
The Twentieth Century Society exists to safeguard the heritage of architecture and design in Britain from 1914 onwards. One of the Society's prime objectives is education, with education comes appreciation. With conservation, another prime objective comes the continued opportunity for extending our knowledge about those buildings or artifacts, whether important or humble, rare or commonplace, that characterise the twentieth century in Britain. As a result of lobbying over the past twenty five years, many buildings have already been saved.

Other Publications 
Over the past twenty years the Society has published many Notes to accompany tours, Proceedings of conferences, and Journals, both as the Thirties Society and under its present name. Taken together, these publications represent a considerable body of scholarship on twentieth century architecture and design.
