The Durban branch held a Technology Evening with a difference during December, where the guests had the opportunity to meet our valued branch Patron Members, see their products on display at the mini-exhibition and also discuss new developments with them. It was going to be a braai, but owing to the inclement weather we arranged to have the function indoors and the Durban Country Club again served us proud with a great supper. The turnout was an impressive 60 visitors, and we believe there were some worthwhile discussions with specialists in the automation, instrumentation and control fields.
