National, Regional, and Area Groups
The TLRS currently operates 14 Area Groups spread around the Country. The Groups usually meet monthly in local halls, or sometimes in Members’ houses. This is an important part of the TLRS and allows us to come together to talk about trams in their many forms.
National Zoom Meetings take place alongside the Area Group Meetings. The National Zoom meetings will be available to all Members through a link in the Members’ Area of the Website.
For details of your local Area Group please contact the Area Liaison Officer on alo@tlrs.info who will then forward your details to the relevant Area Representative.
