RFG Events

RFG works hard to maintain an ongoing diary of meetings and visits of relevance and benefit to members.

These are held regionally with a focus on national issues of local importance and in the capital where we hold our annual summer conference and our renowned Christmas Lunch.

 

Regional meetings always include a visit to a site or facility or relevance to the industry and in the past this has included Roadway Container Logistics new Birmingham International Freight Terminal at Birch Coppice and Fowey Harbour, including a trip out to sea on the Harbour Commissioners tugs ( see above ).

The RFG also arranges the joint All Party Parliamentary Rail Group/Rail Freight Group annual visit which in recent years has viewed the rail freight developments taking place in Canada, Hungary,China and in 2007 Germany and Poland.

The All Party Parliamentary Rail Group/Rail Freight Group visit this year is planned to take place in Romania in September.

All RFG events are open to both members and non-members. RFG members receive a special discount.
