The Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club

Shropshire is home to five breakfast clubs, one in Shrewsbury, one in Oswestry, one in Whitchurch and two in Telford.

They're groups of HM Forces veterans and serving members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and, like other breakfast clubs around the country and overseas, their aim is mutual support. It works because everyone has a similar sense of humour and outlook, and the social life they now enjoy resembles their service days. There are no subscriptions or fees to pay to join the clubs - you only pay for your own breakfast.

The Shrewsbury Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club was launched in 2016 and in March 2022 rebranded to We are Veterans Shrewsbury.

It was decided to rebrand the club in order to be defined by who we are and not by breakfast alone.

We Are Veterans Shrewsbury meet and eat breakfast together twice a month, served with a healthy portion of military banter. As well as breakfast meetings, the club holds quiz nights, curry nights and other social events throughout the year. The club has a very friendly atmosphere and family members are welcomed too.

We ask potential members to We Are Veterans Shrewsbury to email us at shrewsbury@weareveterans.co.uk or to complete the membership form on their website www.shrewsbury.weareveterans.co.uk

All the clubs can also be contacted through their Facebook groups.
