Beer & Bullshit Sundowner

The next Beer and Bullshit session is on this Wednesday from 4pm.

The one after that will be on eBikes and will be held on Wednesday 16th and the event details will be published shortly.

Following close behind will probably be a talk by our very own Simon Benwell ,talking on Oil Field Developement, and will be held a couple of weeks later, probably on Wednesday 6th September.

I also have a line up of two additional guest speakers to follow on from SImon.

However, as I shall be overseas for 2 months, I need a Sheddie to step forward to organise the event including drinks and nibbles and to man the bar. Do I have any takers? Just contact me if you are interested.

Best regards

Peter Panek

We are back for our next Beer and Bullshit event on Wednesday 2nd August.

Continuing with the Theme of discovering the expertise of our own shed members, this event will host our very own Sheddie, Michael Wilson.

Michael will break down the very complex area of exploration so that the non technical person will have a much better understanding of the world of petroleum exploration.

Petroleum products are an integral part of our everyday lives and since their inception from the late 1800's have massively contributed to the affluent lifestyle we enjoy today. Namely, cheap energy and petroleum byproducts (plastics, medicines etc.) enable us to enjoy a life far ahead of our parents and their parents.

However very few people are aware of the huge complexity of searching for and producing these hydrocarbons. It is a very risky and very expensive business and for the lucky or the very smart can be a very profitable business. Some of this complexity will be shown today.

As per usual, folowing Michaels's talk, there will be loads of time for questions, fellowship and the opportunity to socialise with your fellow Sheddies.

Our concept is to provide an informative talk for these social gatherings which will stimulate social discourse. One of the continuing themes which keeps coming up in the feedback from our members is that they want to know more about their fellow Sheddies. So here is another opportunity for you to engage with your fellow Sheddies and get a better understanding of the massive amount of expertise we have within our membership.

The Shed is endevouring to promote the social aspects and benefits of belonging to our Shed and so your Shed shall subsidise the cost of the nibbles for this event. Drinks are available at normal Shed pricing.

So come along, be educated, be inquisitive, be engaged and be social by enjoying the company of your fellow Sheddies at this Sundowner.

Best regards
