You're welcome for that John.

To answer your other question, I have belonged to two branches as I've moved around the country.

Both have been extremely helpful for keeping up with current developments and networking - the latter being where you realise that you are not alone and that we all have similar problems to face and mountains to climb.

I would strongly recommend joining a local branch.

I will send you an email shortly as I was chatting to the branch secretary earlier today and he sent me out a programme of future events.

Good morning all, especially members of the NI Branch, and those who would wish to become members of the branch. Though there has only been a couple of postings to this thread from branch members, both suggest that they are out of the loop with regard to being informed of branch activities.

The NI Branch has launched a substantial program of activities for 2006 – 2007 not least being work to ensure that next year, our 40th anniversary year, is one that will be celebrated both in style and substance with a look back to what the branch has achieved and where it will lead the membership in the future. We will be joining with our colleagues in the Ireland branch who will be celebrating 25 years.

Branch meetings have been restructured and will for the most part take the form of a seminar on a diverse range of topics to ensure that the meetings have relevance to all members, for example in October the theme was Fire Risk assessment presented by Asst Group Cmdr Gerry Toman of the Fire Service, Forthcoming seminars include the new Temporary Traffic Management guidelines, Noise and vibration, and Construction.

We have also launched a schools project whereby every member is encouraged to visit their local schools with an offer to give a presentation to school leavers and students going on work placement.

Branch members will have received two e-mails since September the first detailing the 2006 2007 program of activities and the second the minutes of the last branch meeting complete with a summary of the Fire Risk assessment presentation, (this is also posted on the branch web-site, see branches on the side bar). If you have not received this e-mail, contact Leicester to ensure that HQ has your current e-mail address, as they are responsible for ensuring that any correspondence from the branch to members are e-mailed directly.

If you have any queries about the branch or its activities, e-mail me by clicking my name (above) and I will respond directly to you,

So, if you want to improve the branch come along to our next meeting on 12th December in the North West Institute in Derry. We are always looking to for volunteers to undertake different tasks in the branch,

Regards, Philip
