Welcome to the Wessex Branch of the OMRS. The Branch was reformed in September 2023.
The Branch holds meetings nine times a year, on the fourth Thursday in the months February to July and September to November. We meet at Antrobus House, 39 Salisbury Road, Amesbury, Wiltshire SP4 7HH. Meetings start at 7.30pm; tea / coffee and biscuits are available. There is a large car park adjacent to the building.
We try to combine each of the talks with Members’ ‘Show and Tell’ opportunities on related themes.
