Lack of IET Scotland Events White Book

I was extremely disappointed to read in the minutes of a recent IET Scotland Committee meeting that the IET Scotland annual events white booklet will not be published this year. See file https://communities.theiet.org/communities/files/46/3020

 

For many retired members who are unable to access the website this booklet has been their only source of information about local and other IET events in Scotland. Lack of the booklet will likely result in reduced attendances at meetings.

 

If the National Committee is unable to afford the booklet in its traditional format then surely a much less expensive listing of events and contacts could be printed for inclusion with E&T.

 

I would earnestly request that the IET Scotland Committee reconsiders their decision to stop publication of the only hard copy source of all events and contact information for the IET in Scotland.

    The White Booklet while providing a calendar of events also contained useful information on Student Advisor, Professional Regustration Advisors and Schools Liaison Representatives.



    The annual circulation proved to be useful in finding members willing to work with schools when they noted there was no representative in their area.



    The White Booklet I believe was "the Glue" that made a major contribution to keeping the IET in Scotland together and will be a major loss.



    A web based version is an extremely poor substitute.
