Dear Reader ,
Welcome to the February 2010 edition of the IGEM Flame, our e-newsletter.
My name is David Lathwood and I am working for IGEM on a six month secondment from National Grid. I am working on several projects, including a review of Standards sales and pricing, IGEM’s Gas Technician grade and the membership census.
IGEM Membership Census 2010
A big thank you to all those who have already completed the Census. Although we have had a reasonable response we still require an increase in returns to make the Census worthwhile. The Census was included as an insert in the January/February edition of Gas International, but it is also available to complete on the IGEM website if you prefer.
Don’t forget, anyone who completes their entry by Friday 26th February will be entered in a free prize draw to win £50.00 worth of Marks and Spencer’s vouchers!
Thank you for your assistance.
If you would like any further information on the census then please contact me on 01509 678155 or via email to david@igem.org.uk.
Kind regards
David Lathwood
