All Members of Tram Liaison Committee societies (LRTA, TLRS, TMS and others) are welcome to attend the meetings of other such societies.

A need to sort out acronyms and abbreviations (CfN - I know - I have checked access to the pages on the new server and just confirmed it works - need to write up a reminder of how and reset passwords). This gem above struck me!

West Monkton Village Hall, Monkton Heathfield, TA2 8NE Contact westofengland@tlrs.info. £2.00 incl. light refreshments"

Tramway and Light Railway Society

About Us

The TLRS was formed in 1938 and caters for people interested in trams and tramways in all their forms, and is the leading society in the field of tramway modelling. The Society publishes a magazine Tramfare and has a number of Area Groups who meet regularly.

The Aims of the Society are:
* To bring together those interested in all aspects of tramways and light railways
* To encourage tramway modelling and to demonstrate such models
* To publish a magazine and other literature, and to maintain a library and archives of photos
* To hold meetings and arrange visits for members

The TLRS has a collection of large-scale and small-scale tram models some of which are historically important items. The TLRS also has an archive of over 170,000 photographs and 1,200 drawings related to trams and tramways, as well as many books and mazazines which are very useful when, say, researching for a new model.

And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
