- The next event of interest to SOUE members is the 2012 Maurice Lubbock Memorial Lecture and Departmental Open Day, which is on Thursday 24 May. The lecture will be by given by Howard Shiplee, Executive Director of Laing O'Rourke, entitled "LONDON 2012 - Engineering Success"; there will also be two talks describing work in progress in the Department, as well as the annual project exhibition. Please let the Head of Department's PA, Sara Kingsbury, know if you wish to attend.
- This year's Jenkin Lecture will be on Saturday 15 September, by Frank Chapman (St Catherine's 1977-80), now Chief Test Pilot at Airbus, Toulouse, with the provisional title "Flight Testing the A380". More details about this and the Jenkin weekend generally will be available later, but please put this date in your diaries now.
- The tenth issue of SOUE News, the Society's newsletter, is available for you to read; it can also be downloaded as a PDF file.
- The University's Department for Continuing Education are offering a 20% discount on their published fees for SOUE members taking their short courses in electronics, telecoms and engineering.
A LinkedIn professional networking group has been set up exclusively for SOUE members, which facilitates contact between members of the Society who wish to tap in to the wide range of skills and experience available within our membership. Members are encouraged to join the group, which promises to be a very useful resource.
Do We Have Your E-Mail Address?
For reasons of cost and time, some mailings are only sent electronically: we generally only send one paper mailing per year, but send occasional electronic mailings (typically three or four per year) about things that may be of interest to our members (e.g. a request in February 2010 for engineering alumni to join in the Trading Places scheme run by the University's Access Department). Additionally, now that the Department is no longer sending Open Day invitations to all SOUE members by post, only those members for whom we have e-mail addresses can be sure of receiving an invitation.
If you did not receive e-mail in March 2012 about the Lubbock and Jenkin Lectures, it is very likely that we do not have a working e-mail address for you. If you would like to receive occasional electronic mailings from the SOUE as well as (or instead of) paper mailings, please fill in the mailing preferences form or send e-mail to membership@soue.org.uk letting us know how you would like to be contacted.
