WFS branches

A core aim of the Society is to assist members in sharing ideas and engaging with one another at branch meetings.

There are currently five branches based in different areas of the country to allow members a greater opportunity to attend and take part in these activities. Over the coming months, we hope to include more photographs in this section to give a better feel for these events.
