Roy Larkin the Great war transport aficionado will explore the use of automobiles in the Great War.

The positives of using mechanical vehicles over horse power transporting men and stores around. Men arriving fresher , larger loads being carried. 

The drawbacks heavier weights, destroying the road system so slowing everything down.

Members of the WFA and non-members alike are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere  and a warm welcome from a group of like minded enthusiasts.

We ask for a modest £5 to defray costs, this will include a free tea or coffee and entry into our famous raffle.
