The Eastern branch was founded in 1987, and we continue to try to provide a varied and interesting series of presentations covering a wide variety of acoustic related topics.  

We attempt to hold regular monthly meetings, predominantly based around the Chelmsford to Colchester corridor, but given the geographical area that the Eastern Branch covers, we are open to alternative locations.  We love the fact that our meetings are face-to-face, however since Covid, we have also embraced the remote style of meetings, so are always open to holding our meetings as a hybrid meeting opportunity.  Whilst our topics and speakers are usually suggested by our committee members, we encourage ideas for future meetings from the wider Eastern Branch membership.  We will always strive to hold face-to-face meetings, as this provides a strong foundation for networking with peers and developing through these contacts.

Generally, our meetings are held during the evening of the last Thursday of every month, but this is not set in stone.  We aim to hold seven meetings each year, with the AGM usually taking place before the last meeting of the year.  We also try to hold at least one social event during the year.  More often than not our meetings are free, usually with tea and coffee (and sometimes biscuits) provided.

CPD certificates are available at the end of each meeting and all comers are welcome.

Please contact the Chair or Secretary for further information about the Branch, or if you would like to suggest a topic for inclusion in our Eastern Branch programme.
