2026 is going to be a year of change for the IMechE, the vote for the sale of Birdcage Walk has been approved by the IMechE membership (exceeding the 2/3 majority requirement) so the IMechE can look forward to a period of change and renewal in 2026 with the Eastern Region playing its part.
We have also had a renewal of the Eastern Region Committee at the end of 2025 with new enthusiastic members joining us. The new faces are especially welcome and I am also indebted to the long standing members who have given so much of their time already.
The objectives for the Eastern Region in 2026 and beyond:
- A seat on the table at National level meetings of the IMechE meetings, to put forward the views of the region
- Outreach; supporting activities in primary schools, senior schools and at University level
- Area Groups; supporting the areas within the region
- Communications; using the IMechE IT tools keep the membership informed of events within the region.
- Finance; providing the cash to support events
Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous new year.
