West of England Branch

As a relatively new reformed branch, we are keen to host events in other venues throughout the region, and are currently exploring the possibility of hosting a joint venture with industrial partners in the Swindon area.

Forthcoming events

In addition to these there are a number of other talks and meetings planned throughout the region.

Also if there are any members in the Dorset and Southampton area who would be keen to help host an event, please contact the Chair of the WoE branch, Mr Garrod Musto.
