2011 PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

I am at last delighted to say that we have now got clearance for the visit to Sackers recycling plant at Great Blakenham. The visit will take place on Thursday the 8th September commencing at 1700 and we are to report to the main reception, the access of which is just over the level crossing on the Needham side of the Claydon to Needham Market Road. Car Parking is available within the premises. (Post code IP6 0JB)

You may not be aware that Sackers, beyond operating all the state of the art recycling gear, are one of the Counties major exporters so as well as viewing the plant we will learn a little of this side of their work. They are keeping staff back especially for us so I hope we can rely on a good attendance. To ensure that Sackers know the number of folk attending, would you kindly let me know by email or phone if you intend to attend. At that time, if you own a Hi-Viz vest or coat, would you also let me know and make sure you bring it on the night. Beyond this trip, we are working hard to secure other speakers and visits with more news soon. I continue to request your patience.

Outside of our own activities, you are welcome to attend the next meeting of the Institute of Marine Engineers (IMEREST) on the 22nd September which will be a presentation on Marine Compressors by Dipl.-Ing Harald Schulz, C.Eng. MIMarEST, Managing Director of Sauer Compressors. Look forward to seeing you on the 8th September.
