The Henry Williamson Society Spring Meeting
10–12 May 2024
Our Spring Meeting is in Dorset, last visited in 2007, where we will be staying at the Best Western Hotel Rembrandt in Weymouth. We will be visiting Thomas Hardy's home at Max Gate, and T. E. Lawrence's house at Clouds Hill, lunching at Moreton in between. We look forward to meeting members there.
