Citizens' Band Association

The Citizens' Band Association (CBA) was a political campaigning group formed to press for the legalisation of Citizens' Band Radio (CB) in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1976, became the largest group campaigning for CB in the UK, and was formally wound up a short time after it successfully achieved its aims. The CBA's constitution defined its function as a single-issue campaign group. Accordingly, when its campaign was successful it disbanded and, after a seven year wait to ensure that no unexpected liabilities showed up, it remaining funds were donated, according to its constitution, to the Institution of Electrical Engineers(IEE) Benevolent Fund. Its archives were given to the IEE (now the IET) Library. The archives may be seen by appointment (between 10: 00 and 16: 00 weekdays) at the library of the: -Institution of Engineering and TechnologySavoy PlaceLondon WC2R 0CL. 0207 344 8436 (Archivists line)Their reference for the material is: - Naest collection # 169Although the CBA has been disbanded its sometime officers maintain a presence on the Internet and elsewhere for the benefit of researchers and others who need a point of contact.
