NFEC Notices

Happy New Year to all of our readers!

NFEC wishes all of our readers a happy, successful and rewarding 2012.  Perhaps this is the year in which positive government action puts FE and Skills Development at the very top of the agenda!

Conferences

The NFEC Autumn National Conference, 24 & 25 November 2011, at the Holiday Inn, Coventry was another very successful event!   Feedback will be available soon on the National Conferences page.

The next event will also be at the Holiday Inn Coventry, taking place on Thursday 31 May and Friday 1 June, 2012.  Watch this site for details.

NFEC has another Life Member

At the recent Annual General Meeting in Coventry Peter Swindlehurst was proposed, seconded and unanimously elected as the third Life Member of NFEC.  He joins Bob Clarke and Bob Millington in that capacity and all agreed that Peter's award is thoroughly merited.

Peter has had a close association with the National Forum, from its initial concept, through the discussions on role and structure in which he represented the Engineering Council and ever since then as a member of NFEC's National Council.   He also contributed significantly to the highly successful Dissemination Project ,as a member of its Steering Group and also in helping analyse the project's outcomes and achievements.

Web Site Maintenance

We must offer our apologies for the fact that lately little new material has been added to the site, except for the In the News page.  Regrettably, Director Bob Clarke, because of family circumstances, will no longer be able to provide his support for the site - something he has done for the last two years and at no cost to the National Forum.

As a result, we need to bring in the range of skills that full support for the site needs to embody - IT, language and understanding of the engineering and education subjects and issues.  Bob was able to provide them all, but they can of course be provided separately - how about you?  If you believe you can help, contact Alan Gray - details below.
