Nottingham and Derby
The BCS Nottingham & Derby Branch serves over 1,000 BCS members in the Nottingham and Derby area and beyond. Our aim is to provide both professional and social activities throughout the year. For details of our planned activities this year, please see the calendar page.
Like most branches, it is hard for us to produce a calendar of events without the active involvement of members both to support the events and to help the committee in organising them. The branch committee welcome feedback from all members and attendees and suggestions for future events are especially welcome. If you would like to make a suggestion or if you can help with organising or publicising an event, please contact any committee member.
There are a few things coming out of the Committee meeting tonight - one is to have a Twitter account for our branch with regular updates. We are also looking at having an FAQ page on the website about IT and reaching out to schools and non-IT savvy people to encourage them in the use of computers. What do you think? join our network and let us know on the forum!
The second Third Monday event is entitled "Different Approaches to Knowledge Management" and will be presented by Clive Trusson on Monday 15th February. You can register now for the event.
Paul Tew presented a lively presentation on forensic analysis of computers using case studies (of teddy bears) to describe the methods and processes used by the police to obtain and correlate evidence against suspected paedophiles. A wide ranging number of questions were raised after the presentation from the fully booked venue that kept Paul on his toes for longer than he expected!
