SCI Members’ day - 3 July 2008, SCI, Ascot

Over eighty people signed up for the SCI Members Day on 3^rd July, and came to Ascot to hear about current developments and network around a BBQ in the evening.  The event provided a good opportunity to get together with members and ensure that SCI is continuing to work in partnership with them to meet their business needs.

In the afternoon the audience were treated to three hours of presentations covering:

• Eurocodes - What's the problem, and how is SCI helping?
• Eurocodes - e-tools to help designers and manufacturers, including Access Steel
• Product Confidence - What is CE Marking, and how SCI Assessed compliments it
• Sustainability - recent and future developments and what SCI is doing?

Feedback on these excellent presentations included ‘I’ve never heard anything positive about EC3 before, and it’s very encouraging because the Eurocodes are not going away’.

Equally, the sustainability presentation proved popular and reinforced SCI’s commitment to offering sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions. ‘I thought I knew quite a lot about sustainability but I’ve learned more today’ commented one member.

With the third and fourth speakers having to compete with rain and indeed a thunder storm, the sun shone on Silwood Park for the end of the day so a drink and food could be enjoyed by all.

We hope to see you in Ascot for next year’s event. If you would like further information on the members event contact Sandi Gentle on telephone number 01344 636509 or email s.gentle@steel-sci.com
