The InstMC Wessex Section held its annual Dinner Dance on Friday, 7 March 2008 in the Wessex
Hotel, Bournemouth.
This prestigious event continuous to grow in popularity
attendance with a consistently high quality 5 Course Dinner, dancing to live
band 'Majesty' and new for 2008 Magician 'Laurie B'. This is the third year
that Dawn Bushrod has organised the event and attendance has grown by 20 each
year to 171 based on a solid reputation. This is the opportunity for the
professional community to relax with partners and like-minded friends and
colleagues. To socialise and build relationships within our profession
and say thank you to business associates. The evening is always kept
informal with no long after dinner speeches and the emphasis on having
fun. This year the sponsorship for raffle prizes was outstanding with
over £1000 worth of prizes.
Raffle Proceeds
The £781 raised will be used to support children's education. The plan is
to buy Lego Mindstorms Educational Robotic sets & donate them to local
schools. By building and programming smart robots in a natural,
step-by-step learning process, students put their knowledge into practice and
are challenged to come up with new ideas. Maybe sparking a career
interest in Engineering.
