We hold meetings every first Wednesday of the Month from September to May. Here we can inform you of the content of the upcoming meetings and any changes that may be needed to take place like the recent Covid19 outbreak.

We deeply regret that for the health of our older members we have decided to postpone planed further physical meetings of WFHS until September 2021, due to the recent rising of the Covid infection rate.
We are working on bringing to you Virtual meetings, presentations and historical videos till then.
