Belinda, in her second Chair’s Report, touched on some of the highlights of 2022, which included eight joint technical meetings with the IMarEST (ACT & NSW Branch), with attendances varying between ten for Dave Giddings’ presentation on Modern Technology Resins, Coatings and Glues and 92 for Lachlan Toohey’s presentation on Hover-capable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles: Design and Use Cases. SMIX Bash 2023 was successful and was attended by 200, including a number of interstate guests.
Adrian Broadbent had circulated the Treasurer’s Report prior to the meeting. With technical presentations being all online in 2022, our expenses have been minimal. SMIX Bash is funded separately through the Social account which currently has a healthy balance which will enable preliminary arrangements for SMIX Bash 2023.
