Heart of England branch
Welcome to the Heart of England branch of The Western Front Association
We meet at The Dormer Place Conference Centre, Leamington Spa, on every second Wednesday of each month.
Meetings start with branch business at 7.30 p.m. Speaker: 7:45p.m. Finish is normally by 9.15p.m. Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome.
The evening is £5 donation, which includes a raffle ticket. The raffle is drawn at the end of the evening.
We start with a cup of tea/coffee which may include a biscuit or two and some general friendly chit chat, so please arrive a little early if you can.
We have a good selection of speakers throughout the year and our programme is published in advance if you would like a copy.
Parking
There is some parking at the venue although it can be tight, there is on-road parking outside and St Peter's multi-storey car park next door.
New visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
We look forward to welcoming you to our branch meetings.
