Welcome to Wells Railway Fraternity. We are a friendly group interested in all aspects of railways from modelling to photography and history and just a general interest in trains of all sorts.
We hold monthly meetings from September to May at the Town Hall in Wells, Somerset. Meetings are free to members and just £4 per meeting for non-members and guests.
Annual membership is just £20 and includes:
• entry to all meetings
• opportunities to meet new railway friends
• and much more.
