Tuesday 13^th September 2005	Engineering Quiz Night
	Quiz for local engineering institutions organised by the Institute of Measurement and Control. Quiz questions set by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers on engineering subjects. Teams of four persons.
	7.00pm for 7.30pm, Arties Mill, Brigg
Tuesday 11^th October 2005	Condition Monitoring of Rotating Machines John Andrews, Machine Monitoring Systems Ltd.
	The talk will provide a summary of the subject of condition monitoring. Firstly John will describe the reasons for and benefits of condition monitoring and will discuss how we can measure the success of condition monitoring. He will then describe a novel way of reporting on the results of such monitoring (Total Asset Health Reporting) that he believes is unique to Machine Monitoring Systems Ltd. Finally John will describe some of the technical aspects of electric motor testing.
	7.00pm for 7.30pm, Wortley House Hotel, Scunthorpe
Friday 28^th October 2005	Annual Dinner Dance

	7.15pm for 7.45pm, Wortley House Hotel, Scunthorpe
Monday 14^th November 2005	Quicksilver World Water Speed Record Attempt Nigel Macknight
	Partners Evening Australia has held the World Water Speed Record for over 20 years, sternly resisting competition from America. Now, the Quicksilver team aims to break Australia's hold on the Record and return it to Britain, where so much water-speed history has been made. The World Water Speed Record currently stands at 317.60 mph (511.11 kph). To achieve such astronomical speeds, water conditions must be near-calm - and the boat itself must overcome water resistance by raising its hull clear of the surface and skimming across it. This lecture by Nigel Macknight will describe the challenges faced in his attempt on the World Water Speed Record
	7.00pm for 7.30pm, Grimsby College
Tuesday 13^th December 2005	If data is free - what price data integrity? Dr Alastair Faulkner, CSE International Ltd
	We take for granted the re-use of existing data and datasets. We construct new data driven and data intensive systems based upon existing datasets at our peril. Without the required data integrity not only the new system but also the enterprise may rest on poor foundations. Recent news items describe data error rates at the DVLA as 1-in-3, yet this data forms the basis of congestion charging and for data used to issue speeding fines based upon the recognition of number plates by roadside speed cameras. Collectively we have learnt how to create the software and hardware components so that we attain the required RAMS targets. Such targets remain unattended for the data used by these systems. Deriving data integrity requirements provides a set of data oriented targets. Examination of the logistics of the data supply chain highlights many of the weaknesses based upon reliance on existing datasets. This presentation describes several catastrophic accidents based upon a lack of data integrity and moves on to describe a method for identifying data integrity requirements, the data supply chain and suggests possible solutions.
	7.00pm for 7.30pm, Wortley House Hotel, Scunthorpe
Tuesday 10^th January 2006	Competence Assessment Training Centre Humberside Barry Gilbert, HCF

	7.00pm for 7.30pm, Wortley House Hotel, Scunthorpe
Wednesday 8^th March 2006	Speed Cameras: Friend or Foe-Fact and Fiction Mick Harris, Humberside Safety Camera Partnership
	Joint Lecture with GIES The Humberside Safety Camera Partnership commenced operations in April 2003. In the first year alone there was a 53% reduction in casualties at camera sites. Yet despite this and the huge benefits to society they are not universally accepted. This lecture explores the history of speed detection and the rules governing partnerships. It explores the type of equipment used and its accuracy as well as exploring some of the myths surrounding camera partnerships and speed detection.
	7.00pm for 7.30pm, The Winter Gardens,Cleethorpes
Tuesday 4^th April 2006	Chairman’s Address lecture, followed by AGM Dr Mike Diprose
