About Solent Network
The Solent Network includes Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester and the Isle of Wight. Almost all of the annual programme of events takes place between late September and May and includes lectures in these places and technical visits to establishments in the area. In addition to the activities arranged by the main network committee there are programmes arranged by an active retired members section and a geographically defined Isle of Wight section. We are currently re-building the younger members section.
The Solent local network works together with the Hampshire North and the Dorset & South Wiltshire local networks in a new Southern regional network arrangement. This not only enhances working together but also provides opportunities for working with the Technical and Professional Networks (TPNs) on major regional events.
We have also been building links with the Business Partners in the area and are working on plans to improve the effectiveness of our contact with young people in the 5-19 age range.

The main network programme covers all of the network area except for the Isle of Wight, the programme for the latter being in the Isle of Wight section. The retired members section programme contains daytime events (open to all) and the events arranged by the younger members section should particularly appeal to young engineers and students.
