We are currently experimenting with a new “forum” capability on the SMEE website. This will only be available to SMEE members, and is intended to allow discussion, questions and answers, and general debate. At the moment, during the trial period, only a few members are allowed to post entries so that we can look at how it all works in practice before we roll it out to everyone. We are actually using it to provide a “support” mechanism for the Digital Group 3D CAD tutorial sessions. The forums are accessible via the “Members” menu for the convenience of the test user group but please do not be surprised if you try it out but are not allowed access! 

Please note that the London Ultra Low Emission Zone changes that happen in April 2019 might affect your journey to Marshall House by car. These changes directly affect Central London (Marshall House is outside this area) but if your journey passes through this area, you might need to check on the TfL website. 

There are further changes happening in October 2021 which will bring Marshall House into the Ultra Low Emission Zone and so will directly affect everyone travelling to MH by car. Again, details are available from the TfL website.

The online library for members has now been extended to include all Journals back to the beginning of 1996.  All these Journals with articles covering many model engineering topics are available to read on line or download by members. 

The library can be found by clicking this link.

We are delighted to be able to provide an additional service to members who are not able to attend Marshall House.  We are now recording meetings (where the speaker agrees) and the video of the talk can be seen by members – whether near or far – by logging into the members’ area of the website.

The clock page in the members area now contains links to websites of interest to clock makers and a downloadable spreadsheet to enable the calculation of the details of deadbeat escapements. 

The Library catalogue is now available as an Excel download for members.  See the new Library page in the member’s area. 

The links to the recordings of Fusion360 demonstrations on the Digital Group pages had ceased to work leading to understandable frustration for those seeking to access them. These have now been edited and each link should lead you to a recording of the appropriate demonstration. Sorry about that.

The Polly course has been reported in the model engineering press on many occasions but a new review has just been published on http://modelengineeringwebsite.com/SMEE_Polly_course.html

If you are thinking of joining this course, take a look.  Join us on this course for an enjoyable insight into the hobby of model engineering.
