This is the Friends of Wom Brook weblog (May 2021)
You will no doubt have seen the notices posted in the village advertising tonight’s event which will be held at the Council Chambers, Wombourne, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday 19th October for the volunteer group, known as the ‘Friends of Wom Brook’, in order to elect officers and an executive committee, as part of the process towards establishing the group as a charitable trust.
The group would welcome all those interested in playing an active part in the work of this future organisation!
