Dear Members and Friends,

Our next event is our Annual Conference on "Methods of Power Generation" starting at noon (with a buffet) on Tuesday April 16th. So come and learn about power generation from coal to wind farms to fracking! A poster for this is also attached, and if you could print and display this, that would be much appreciated.

If you would like to come, or would like further details (Still putting the final touches to the programme), please contact me, either on this e-mail address or eve...@cieng.org

The venue is our usual one, the Centuria Building, No 56 on the University Campus map ---> http://www.tees.ac.uk/docs/docrepo/about/CampusMap.pdf
We will use the Middletown car park, for this event which is a pay and display car park (£1.50p)
P23 on the Campus Car parks map ---> http://www.tees.ac.uk/docs/docrepo/about/CampusCarParkMap.pdf

If you park along the narrow bit of this car park alongside the sports field, there is a footpath down to the Centuria Building.
