It planned to have a BfTW available on a regular basis on the 1st and 2nd Mondays in the Month at ‘Ye Olde Mitre’, Ely Court, Hatton Garden. This Coincides with regular Campden Hill Branch and NEC meetings.

There will be the usual anniversary meet at the ‘Rising Sun’ in early December 2019. The exact date still to be determined. It is normally on the Sunday nearest to 6th December (the date in 1963 SPBW was founded). However, for the past 2 years rail engineering works have made it difficult for members to attend and thus the attendance has been low.

The planning for ‘Woodfest 2020’ in Twickenham, London is well under way. It will be held at the hall attached to the Turks Head, 28 Winchester Road, St Margaret’s, TW1 1LF from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th May 2020.
