Branch Trip

OIP (13)

In August, we usually take our branch trip. Obviously, this trip depends on the number of members and guests who wish to attend. Accordingly, we will be asking the question at our next meeting on April 2nd. Should we reach sufficient numbers, a destination will be chosen, and further information will be added to the website. Anyone wishing to come along for the ride, watch this space.

 

OIP (12)
Here we go, here we go, here we go.

 

If you would like to attend any of our monthly meetings, we meet on the first Saturday of each month throughout the year. Please come and visit, you are assured a warm and friendly welcome from our members and guests, and you will be able to enjoy many interesting and informative talks from our invited speakers. These presentations are then followed by a Q&A session and a lively interaction on the day's subject between our guest and members. Membership of The Western Front Association is optional not essential

For anyone wishing to attend our branch meetings. I would say, however, that membership of the WFA is of great benefit to anyone wishing to research the military past of family members, or those looking into people and events in and around the Great War. Also, the support and information available from the current membership, trustees, and publications is second to none. With easy access to the numerous documents now available to the association on the new website, membership has a great deal to offer. The magazines accompanying membership, ‘Bulletin and Stand To!’, are regularly sent to members throughout the year, and are a great source of articles and information on the Great War.
