Welcome to Wem Booklet

Hello ‘The Town of Wem Welcomes you’

This website has been developed on the back of the Welcome to Wem booklet introduced in November 2016. We look forward to providing a service to Wem and the new residents but we think that it could also be a useful asset to all those that live in Wem and the local area.

Alas it looks as if the booklet will not be published anymore due to publishing costs in the future. We the committee, feel that we will have to use our website only in the future. Thank you all that have supported us in particular those Sponsors named below and our terrific team: Brian Gee, Liz Broomhall, Jean Cooley and the wonderful Bob Dibben who has sadly passed away.

Sponsors: We do not put in adverts in the magazine but If you wish to sponsor us we will put in your logo on the back page of the magazine please contact Jean Cooley at E: jeanjcooley@gmail.com T:01939236654

We thank our Sponsors; Wem Town Council; Meres & Mosses (Connexus); The Co-op; Monks Estate agents; The Castle Hotel, Robinson and Young; Princes, Wem and District Rotary Club, Wem Rural County Council, and the Ideas Cupboard who designed the booklet
