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 sees the re-launch of our Annual Dinner, to 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.

With hopefully the return to profit of our Annual Dinner this year, we hope to be back at pre-COVID STEM activity levels in 2025/26, starting with a high-profile all-day Education Outreach Event held at Lakes College West Cumbria, on the day of the dinner, aligned to our theme for 2025 – Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. We will also be re-introducing the celebration of the Engineering Academic Achievements Awards, at the Dinner.

More details about the dinner, who our VIP Guests are and the sponsorship packages available can be found in our Sponsors Newsletter, which will appear here very soon.

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
