The IEE Cambridge Committee is one of three in East Anglia. Other Branches are based in Ipswich and Norwich.
Some of these now maintain their own Web sites, and you can get more details of local activities by clicking the hyperlinks below.
There is an electronic mailing list for the Branch, which provides an excellent means for the dissemination of information by email on IEE activities. This is well worth joining as there's useful information and no "spam" on this mailing list. Non-members are most welcome to join this mailing list. To subscribe, simply send an email to the following email address:
majordomo@iee.org.uk
If your browser supports hyperlinks to email addresses, you can do this by just
clicking on the following mailto:majordomo@iee.org.uk
hyperlink.
The email should contain the text: subscribe ctr_uk_eastanglia_cambridge
in the body of the message. The underscore characters must be typed as shown.
Nothing else required.
Information on local IEE events is also posted to the Usenet newsgroup news:cam.misc and distributed by the IEE's regional electronic mailing list.
The IEE Cambridge Committee welcomes visitors, IEE members and non-members alike, to its lectures and other events. For the majority of these there is no charge and no requirement to book in advance. However, certain meetings do require pre-booking. Where this is the case it is clearly stated on the printed programme card and in the information below.
Important note: the information presented here was believed to
be correct at the time it was compiled.
It is impracticable to update the information to take into account changes of
affiliation and other factors that might affect the current validity of the
content. Viewers must verify for themselves whether presenters' names and
corporate affiliations are still valid.
You can obtain more details about any of the meetings listed below from the Honorary Secretary of the IEE Cambridge Committee.
To avoid disappointment, if you are proposing to travel any significant distance to attend a meeting, you are strongly advised to check with the Secretary in case there has been a last-minute programme change.
Many of the meetings in the Cambridge Branch are held in Lecture Theatre 0 of the University Engineering Department. At this venue most meetings take place at 6.30 p.m., and for these it is normally possible to park in the Engineering Department Car Park; however please read the warning below.

Warning: Prospective visitors are warned that there is a security barrier
adjacent to the Department entrance. The associated red/green traffic lights should
be observed at all times. Also, the barrier restricts the maximum width adjacent to
the entrance - some care needed. It is not advisable to leave cars in the Department Car
Park after meetings are over, as in the interests of security the barrier is programmed to
close some time after meetings finish. A special swipe-card is needed to operate the
barrier when it is closed. Security guards patrol the Department, but may not always
be within easy range for much of the time.
This Event Calendar has been generated from the IEE Cambridge Committee's Programme List which is distributed to all IEE members within the neighbourhood. It contains details of of events taking place in and around Cambridge.
Information on events staged by the Younger Members' Sections is available separately.
Certain meetings (marked with a *) are held at BT Labs, Martlesham Heath, Ipswich. To attend these, visitors must be in possession of a pass, obtainable in advance, from the Ipswich Area Secretary.
