About Shropshire Network

Welcome to the 2007 / 2008 session of the Shropshire Local Network. Hopefully your programme booklet and newsletter has just dropped through your letter box giving full details of the programme. Full details are also available on the IET website at http://www.theiet.local/shropshire, this includes an electronic copy of the programme.

Once again we have a wide variety of events on offer. Alternative Energy continues to feature strongly including biomass and combined heat and power generation. Some interesting automotive presentations including the JCB Dieselmax and Westfield Sports Cars. The Summer visit provides a chance to visit the wind farm at Carno, Newtown first hand. As last year, the number of events has been increased to include ones in January, April and May, we hope this continues to prove popular.

Our first event of the year is on the 2nd October at SCAT, this combines our AGM and first event.

The AGM starts at 6.00 p.m. this is a chance to find out what your committee has been up to over the last year. Why not come along and quiz the chairman, and or get involved with future events.

This is followed as 7.15 p.m. by a presentation from Enginuity in Telford. on Engineering Development. Enginuity has recently been awarded the contract to run SETNET in Shropshire. This is a chance to find out how young engineers are being enthused. Why not get involved through supporting engineering activities in Shropshire schools by becoming a science and Engineering Ambassador SEA. and joining the new schools Faraday activity programme being set up by the IET.

For further details of the programme review the Events pages and calendar.

As usual we are jointly organising the events in conjunction with the local IMechE. If you have any ideas for future events please contact us, we will gladly consider them.
