• Engineers Australia Update: Greg Ewing and Natalia Kontsevaya from EA attended the video conference and gave updates. EA has moved into their new premises at 44 Market St, Sydney, but cannot yet use them for members’ events due to COVID-19 restrictions. Technical presentations and committee meetings can be made as webinars and recorded using their WebEx software.
• SMIX Bash 2019 accounts completed and recorded a modest loss, which will be shared with IMarEST.
• SMIX Bash 2020: There is a question mark about whether this will go ahead due under COVID-19 restrictions but, at this stage, we should plan on going ahead. Committee members confirmed, and talks with sponsors to commence.
• Technical Meeting Program: We have our three remaining presentations for the year signed up, and it is expected that these will go ahead as webinars while COVID-19 restrictions remain in place. IMarEST presentations to be advised.
The next meeting of the NSW Section Committee is scheduled for 9 June.
