Thames Valley Branch

Thames Valley Branch is the region's largest, covering Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

The Thames Valley Branch committee meets approximately six times a year, usually in Reading or Guildford, and is responsible for implementing the business plan within the branch area.

Thames Valley have a strong focus on evening technical meetings, producing a wide and varied programme each year.  From mass interest talks on major projects like the Hindhead Tunnel, to smaller, special interest lectures on the likes of conflict mediation, there is something for everyone.
