The new South West and South Wales Refrigeration Society was officially launched earlier this month during an Institute of Refrigeration Cool Talk Breakfast Briefing. With over 35 participants at the launch meeting it has generated a lot of interest with many talking enthusiastically about future plans for the society. The programme for the event offered a good variety of topics with updates on refrigerants and developments in air conditioning technology. The Society aims to provide local networking meetings and technical talks to appeal to a wide range of interests in the sector whether you work in refrigeration, in air-conditioning or with heat pumps.
If you would like to become involved with the South West and South Wales Refrigeration Society, or set up a local group in your area please contact the IOR at ior@ior.org.uk.
