Message from CIWEM Scottish Branch Chair

Welcome to the CIWEM Scottish Branch site.  We are an active and enthusiastic branch and we believe that we have an interesting and varied range of events for this season's programme.  Our aim this year is to deliver high quality events with engaging subjects and speakers, and although the number of events will be fewer this year, we will focus on reaching more people and hope to beat last year's attendee total. Oh, and please note that for nearly all events there is no charge to attend - see below.

Starting with the New Members' Multi-Speaker event in October in Edinburgh through to the Annual Diner in April, we have many events on the programme - including the annual debate, which this time will be on the rather contentious subject of Fracking.  With site visits, workshops and evening talks plus a couple of supporting events we think that there is something for everyone and we hope to see you at some of the events through the season.

If you are thinking about becoming a member the New Members' Group are keen to deliver and will again be running two "Multi-Speaker" events; one in Edinburgh and one in Glasgow, so if you are new to CIWEM or thinking about joining, these events would be a good introduction to share experiences with others.  Non-members, new members and even thinking-about-coming-a member(s!) are all welcome to all events - you don't have to be a member to attend and nearly all events are free to attend.  There may be a charge for workshops, but check each flyer for details.

All members have been sent a programme, which can be downloaded here and for upcoming events look to the right of this message.

Although we run the branch, we do this on your behalf.  If you have any thoughts about how the branch can offer future support or thoughts on events for next year please get in touch or speak to a committee member.  We'd love to hear from you.

Regards,

Neil McLean

Scottish Branch Chair

and on behalf of the branch committee.
