About the North Yorkshire Network
Since the formation last autumn of the North Yorkshire Network, we have made a start on our plan to bring IET events to places where the IEE had not been active for some time. Successful evening lectures have been held during 2007/008 in Northallerton and Scarborough, and the planned programme continues this initiative. To welcome engineers in the north of the area who were transferred from Teesside Network, we held an event, “Engineering in Basra” at Ripon barracks.
The wide scope of meetings is being maintained during 2008/09 and we hosted a successful evening at the Acomb Cold War Bunker in York, with a former Commander on hand to answer technical questions. We held a successful talk on Church Organs by IET Vice President David Howard in York Minster. We returned to Northallerton for a very interesting talk entitled "Enigma and Friends" about a wonderful collection of WWII and cold war encryption machines like the famous, or should that be infamous, Enigma.
Strictly practical matters were addressed at afternoon and evening sessions to explain the Seventeenth Edition of the IEE (sic) Wiring Regulations. This was a very well attended session and we even managed to recruit some members for the IET.
The social side was not ignored, and we held a highly successful three evenings of gliding lessons in June 2008.
The 2008/09 session is in full swing now so visit the "Events" section for details of the kinds of events we are hosting this year.
Our Committee is, as you see, enthusiastic and creative, but it is small in numbers and new blood would be very welcome.
