ICE Yorkshire and Humber AGM and presentation to mark 300th anniversary of John Smeaton's birth

Overview

The ICE Yorkshire & Humber region is made up of several branches and special interest groups who work together towards the ICE Vision and Values through a wide variety of activities throughout the year. 
It is time again for a brief AGM where we say goodbye to our outgoing Yorkshire & Humber Chair Bryan Penny, declare our current position and then welcome our incoming Yorkshire & Humber Chair.

All members are very welcome and we would love for you to find out what we do, and maybe even get more involved.  

There are many ways you can become more active, and we have several available roles which can enhance your CV.  For more information about our committees, see our committees web pages and if you are interested to get involved in any capacity, please contact [email protected] so we can put you in touch with the relevant chair/s.

The AGM will be followed by a presentation by Mark Calvert on John Smeaton noted as the “father of civil engineering”, marking 2024 as the 300th anniversary of his birth here in Yorkshire. Mark has personally completed a project to develop a 3D model of perhaps Smeaton’s most famous work, the Eddystone Lighthouse.

Individual elements can be printed out and built into a scale model of the lighthouse, providing a brilliant educational insight into the workings of the structure and the elegance of Smeaton's design. It demonstrates how the design techniques we use today were developed and used by Smeaton so many years ago.
