The JSS communicates to its members through its newsletter, the Broad Sheet.^[8]

The John Snow pub serves as a meeting place for the JSS.^[6][16] Its annual general meeting (AGM) is held there, typically following their Pumphandle Lecture.^[17][18] At the conclusion of the Pumphandle Lecture, the guest speaker ceremonially removes the pump handle.^[19] The attendees then retire to the John Snow pub, where the AGM of the Society takes place.^[19]

Members are expected to visit the pub on at least one occasion when visiting London.^[10] The minimum number of members to account for an official JSS meeting is two.^[1] The JSS possesses the original Broad Street pump.^[20] After the removal of the replica pump in 1992, the JSS petitioned for its return to its original site, achieved in 2018.^[21]
