I\u2019m very much looking forward to the event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, the meeting will also be accessible online in real time for members who are unable to attend using Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philip said: \u201cFor future VRA events, we\u2019re looking to a hybrid model, with members either able to attend in person or online. In the post-pandemic world, we\u2019re trying to be as flexible as possible in how we deliver services and information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details about attending VRA member meetings can be obtained by e-mailing info@thevra.co.uk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A date has been set for the first in-person Vehicle <a class=\"moretag btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/date-set-for-first-in-person-meeting-for-vra-members-since-start-of-the-pandemic\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":364,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vra-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15800,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15799\/revisions\/15800"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
