The South
Wales Branch of the Institute of Quarrying is a very active Branch with
171 members throughout Pembroke, South, West and Mid Glamorgan, Gwent,
Monmouth, and Powys.
The Branch
holds seven or eight technical meetings each year along with an annual
Heath and Safety Seminar. All technical meetings and seminars count
towards Continual Professional Development (CPD) requirements, and
certificates are issued to confirm attendance.
Prior to
each Technical Meeting a buffet is provided by the Branch. Meetings are
also open to non-members.
The Branch
runs two very successful social events each year; the Annual Dinner and
Dance, which is held in Cardiff and our Golf Day, which is held at
Whitchurch Golf Club.
In 2004 the
Branch hosted the Annual Conference when it was presented with the
President's Trophy for its contribution to the Industry.
From funds
raised by the Branch, an annual donation is made to a local charity of the
Chairman's choice.
