Hello Jigsaw Fan!  Why join the BCD?

The Benevolent Confraternity of Dissectologists is a club for jigsaw puzzle enthusiasts. Our members range from those who just enjoy doing all sorts of jigsaws (aka “Dissectologists”) to others who have detailed knowledge of their manufacture and history.

Membership benefits include:

  • Access to the members’ only  section of this website, for  ‘no fee’ puzzle Sales and Wants, the complete magazine archive going back to 1985 when the club was founded, and the list of members with their puzzling interests – see below on how to register etc.
  • Taking part in our sociable puzzling gatherings – we arrange four meetings per year in various parts of the UK, including a house party weekend. You’ll see a wide variety of unusual and beautiful wooden and cardboard puzzles – some vintage, some new. You can try something different, exchange information, and buy or sell jigsaw puzzles.
  • Participating in virtual meetings showcasing members’ puzzle interests – we run a couple per year.
  • Receiving Jigsaw Pieces (quarterly full-colour magazine). Non-Members can now view a free example of our Magazines here from Summer 2020.
  • Joining our Facebook & flickr groups to share photos and information with fellow members (both UK & Worldwide).
