The Friends of Williamson’s Tunnels hold regular monthly meetings online using Zoom, where members and Non-Members alike, can get together to chat and get updates on our progress. We normally have a guest speaker, talk to us on varied local & general history topics.
Our FoWT Monthly Meetings take place on the First Monday of each Month at 7pm (19.00pm).
