So far this year, two Parliamentary lunches have been held. These lunches enable the Steering Group to meet potential sponsors and to advise existing sponsors about upcoming initiatives and about new business opportunities.

The good working relationship with the Olympic Delivery Authority has continued with a variety of meetings on bridges and on measures to ensure no illegally logged or sourced wood is used at the Olympics. Meetings have also been held with Skanska and Arup.

TRADA's 'In Touch with Timber' conference on 20 May will be themed around the Olympics. Tickets will be available shortly from TRADA.
