Area Groups...

 • The WSRA has a number of area groups, which exist in a number of centres to support and promote the Association and the Railway and organise social events in their 'home area' for members. Area groups currently exist in Taunton, Bristol and London/Home Counties, and efforts are currently being made to set-up groups in other areas, including Cornwall and Exeter.
