Technical Committees
There are also regular meetings of the UK Technical Representatives. These meetings are usually held two times per year and provide a useful opportunity for sharing knowledge and reporting back on the activities of the various Technical Committees.

Joint Meetings
In addition, regular joint meetings are held between members of the WRA UK and representatives from the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. Collaboration between the WRA UK and CIHT is essential in disseminating information from the Technical Committees to a wider UK audience.

Annual General Meeting
The Minutes of the Annual General Meeting are on the right hand section of this page. 

In addition, the WRA UK organises an yearly UK Congress (except during the International Congress years).  This is an excellent event and open to everyone (WRA members and non-members alike).
