Norfolk branch

Welcome to the Norfolk Branch of The Western Front Association

We meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm apart from January when we meet on the second Tuesday. The White Horse has full pub facilities and offers excellent meals. Parking is available but if the car park is full there is ample road parking close by in the village. The requested donation is £4 per individual and this includes sandwiches in the interval.

All WFA members and non-members are very welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.

We publish a bi-monthly newsletter "The Poppy" which you can find here, under branch news. For copies of earlier issues contact the Secretary.

We look forward to welcoming you to our branch meetings
