Welcome to our IMechE West Cumbria Area Homepage. Here you will find details of our up and coming talks and visits in and around West Cumbria, as well as reviews of events we have put on in the past.

2025 saw the successful re-launch of our Annual Dinner. We are well into planning for the 2026 Annual Dinner which again will be held at Washington Central in June. The main purpose of our Annual Dinners, as well as being a fantastic evening to socialise and network with our friends and colleagues from the impressive West Cumbria Engineering Community, is to raise vital funds for our expanding Educational Our Reach Programme.

Thanks to the success of last years Dinner, we were able to relaunch and re-commit to an exciting annual calendar of STEM outreach activities, growing on from the high-profile all-day Education Outreach Event on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in conjunction with RAICo1, Whitehaven.

More information about this years Annual Dinner will be distributed soon, detailing who our VIP Guests are and the sponsorship packages available.

We are always looking for new ideas to support our local Continued Professional Development activities, and would welcome suggestions. Better still, why don't you come along and join our committee and help to influence and organise the stuff we do.

Wishing you all the best,

Simon
