Don Ward of Constructing Excellence proposed a toast to the clubs 10th year being also its 100th meeting. The presence of members and past members showed that the continued enthusiasm for the club and its events continues unabated.
Ray Crotty talked about the need for an approach to BIM that brought together the supply chain and worked through it - joined up thinking. He drew examples from the past where original drawings were used rather to support the build rather than the usual re-drawing at the time. A practical domestic example being Ikea where, for instance, a kitchen can be created that will fit into the space with all the units so that on delivery everything will fit together and work with no on site problems.
There was also a special vote to increase the number of officers for the club with a view to being more inclusive and to allow opportunities for others in a less formal structure. Themotion was approved!
Networking, reminiscing and celebrating the 100th event continued afterwards, as always, over a glass or two of wine!!
