morenafbae branches
The Association has many branches spread around the country. These branches hold a minimum of three meetings a year where Farriers/Blacksmiths can meet and discuss any problems they have faced in their local area. It is a great opportunity to meet up with old friends and also to discuss new techniques with like-minded people. If you would like more information on your local branch please contact the Associations Head Office.
