This meeting will be held in Cobham.  Members of The Western Front Association and non-members are equally welcome.  We ask for a modest £5 donation on the door.  This includes tea, coffee and biscuits at the break. It also includes free tickets for the book raffle.

To help make things easier and safer, we are asking those coming to Cobham to bring their own mug for coffee or tea.
