About the Royal Television Society Thames Valley Centre
The Society has Regional Centres, each running its own programme of lectures, workshops, masterclasses and awards throughout the year.

The Thames Valley Centre was formed in 1991 in response to a considerable demand for a local centre from RTS members living in and around the Reading and Newbury areas.

The Centre enjoys a current membership of over 300 drawn mostly from the manufacturing companies in the area.

As the Thames Valley Centre lies in the centre of the largest concentration of television technology manufacturing companies in the country, its membership has a strong technological bias. This is reflected in the subjects chosen by the Centre for its regular meetings and for its annual Technical Colloquium. Topics that impact the commercial aspects of television as well as reviews of major industry exhibitions are also covered.

Centre meetings are usually held at the Holiday Inn Reading West, (formally known as Courtyard Marriott) Padworth Lane, Bath Road, Padworth, Reading RG7 5HT, an attractive, and friendly hotel just to the west of Reading and four miles from junction 12 of the M4. On occasions, Centre meetings are hosted by local companies in and around Newbury and Reading. These meetings are free.

As well as an annual series of lectures on subjects of technical, creative and general interest the Centre presents an all-day Technical Colloquium and has a strong social calendar which includes a Summer Social, Annual Dinner Dance and local visits.
