The branch put up a prize for the person who attended the most Technology Evenings during the period May-December. The hard-drive was won by Carl Reinecke of DUT (left) pictured here with branch chairman, Howard Lister.
The last branch meeting of 2013 took place as usual at the Durban Country Club early in December. Changing the focus slightly, there was no technology presentation for that evening, but all corporate sponsors of the Durban branch were invited to show their wares at a mini-exhibition.
It was an evening of great networking and, of course, drinks and snacks. The product presentations and the networking went down well, with Pulse Control Systems, Valve & Automation, Industrial Control & Automation, Swagelok, Unitronics and Hydro Systems Tubing taking advantage of the opportunity to exhibit. This will be an annual event so anybody wanting further information please contact Hennie Prinsloo on 082 324 5379.
