Annual General Meeting
Help us Grow the WMBC Network
We’re looking to expand our network of local branches.
If you’re interested in setting up a new branch in your area, or could help revive our previously thriving Kidderminster or Solihull branches, we’d love to hear from you.
These groups made a huge contribution to our community before pausing due to changes in local organisation. With the right people involved, we know they could flourish once again. If you have some time, ideas, or just want to know what’s involved, please get in touch, by emailing our secretary, Don Ainsworth at secretary@westmidlandbirdclub.org.uk.
We’ll support you every step of the way.
