The AGM is your chance as members to come along and see what the IET Bristol committee have been doing over the year, and what they plan for the coming year. Suggestions and feedback are welcome all year round, but this is a perfect forum to get to know everyone involved and see "behind the scenes".
Finally, the perennially popular IET Bristol barbecue is a great opportunity to meet the committee and other members, as well as past speakers and representatives from other engineering institutions in the area.

WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car
Researchers at the University of Warwick have unveiled the "WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car" which is powered by chocolate, steered by carrots, has bodywork made from potatoes, and can still do 125mph around corners. It is the first Formula 3 racing car designed and made from sustainable and renewable materials, putting the world first by effectively managing the planet's resources. The car meets all the Formula 3 racing standards except for its biodiesel engine which is configured to run on fuel derived from waste chocolate and vegetable oil.
