Forthcoming Events

Since its formation Solent Branch has each year held a series of evening lectures, these lectures are normally held on the third Tuesday of the month between September and May each year. Lectures address topics which are of relevance to Safety and Reliability Professionals and are an excellent method of keeping informed of current developments; additionally the meetings are an ideal networking opportunity. These events are open to non members and visitors are most welcome.
