Subject: The 2009 Pickering Lecture

Each year, the Institution of Engineers provides a prestige lecture on
some important topic.  The lecture is delivered in various places
around the country, and from time to time it comes to Gisborne.  This
year's lecture is on Solar Energy, by a world renowned authority from
Australia, appropriately named Watt!

The tour this year was to be a rapid fire five day circuit of seven
major centres.  Napier and Tauranga were not included, so Gisborne
people were not even able to drive to the lecture if they wanted to.

Well, the local branch of IPENZ were not happy about this -  so we got
onto the president of IPENZ and said we were willing to splash our
total presentation budget on getting the lecture here too.  We were
somewhat surprised, but they said yes, so long as we could fit in a
lunchtime slot.

So, bring your lunch - turn out in droves - prove Gisborne is a
worthwhile venue - enjoy a state of the art lecture (at no cost to
you)

Please share the brochure with staff, friends, family.

For those who can't open PDF documents, the event is at 12;15pm, on
Monday 14th September, at Pacific Quay Conference Centre, 6 Reads
Quay, GISBORNE, compliments of IPENZ East Coast Branch.
