We hold monthly meetings from October to April every year hosting illustrated talks by speakers on a wide range of Irish transport subjects. Usually we hold our meetings in a central London venue but due to Covid, for Oct-Dec, our meetings will be held online on Zoom. A decision will be made later re. meetings in 2022 depending on the Covid situation. For our full programme setting out details of talks etc.click here IRRSProg’21’22
