@oldcanary52 @ParkFarmHotel @conisbee_london @IStructE Hi John, hope you are well? We are hoping to get back to a normal programme come the winter, in line with previous pre-covid years. All events will be a bit ad-hoc at the moment but hopefully advertised a bit better than this event. 😳

Back at @ParkFarmHotel with @conisbee_london discussing the recent New student accommodation in Norwich. This is our first in-person technical talk since 2019 & the COVID pandemic. Great to be back seeing each other again & hearing about some interesting projects. @IStructE

@ICEEoE So, regrettably, our talk in Norwich tomorrow evening, Wednesday 18th March, on the demolition of post tensioned concrete bridges has been cancelled. We hope to rearrange it once everything returns to normal. Stay healthy everyone.
