Technician Group for East Anglia

[RHSChem]

There appears to be a geographical gap between London and Lincolnshire for a Technicians group.
Would anyone from Norfolk, Suffolk or North Essex be interested in joining one?

 

[Carys]

What do we think @MarieW ?

 

[MarieW]

Yes we do seem to be missing one it would be good to have one.

 

[Ada Mary]

I would be happy to join

 

[Biotech10]

Sounds like a good idea. I would be interested

 

[Mr Op Rope]

Would this involve secret handshakes and friend or foe drawings in the sand?
If so count me in.

I guess we could have a secret handshake if you want one and may be sacrifice the odd chicken leg for dissection too!!

 

[Serious Leigh]

Sounds great, count me in. Think we may have met recently looking at your name re. distilled water, and discussed the potential of this?

 

[SRM]

I would like to join,

senior tech in a small norfolk secondary school here

 

[MarieW]

I know a couple of Suffolk technicians from other schools. Not sure if they are on here, they are on the Facebook group.

 

[Count to 10!]

Sounds good, I'm in.

I think Grainne McAdam from Caistor Academy runs a Norfolk technicians group. Gail Webdail runs a Cambs one.

I did a meeting for East Anglia HMC (independent) schools last year, and there should be another in Norwich this year.

 

[RHSChem]

I was also at that HMC meeting last year!
Found the networking most useful, but also feel that there could be more collaboration, sharing training or resources etc. with more local schools.

Wobbly John, I've have tried to get in touch with the Norfolk group before and not had much luck. We could do with some more visibility on these groups as they seem hard to find information on them.

Would love to do some local networking but haven't been able to and I've been a technician in Suffolk since 2016

 

[RadioChemist]

I am the lone tech at a High school in Norwich and would be interested in something like this

Although East Anglia is a very big region which could make face to face meetings a little tricky

 

[TechieO]

I would be interested

 

[Lily83]

I would be interested

 

[RHSChem]

So, there seems to be sufficient interest to set up a group.
There does appear to be a group for Norfolk and North Suffolk, so suggest that this is initially aimed at North Essex and Suffolk Technicians (NEST) - within easy travelling distance of Ipswich or Bury St. Edmunds.
I tried setting up a new group but got a message to say that I was not authorised to do that.
Can anyone advise how I set up a group please?
