Brough Branch - Royal Aeronautical Society - Members

1. Summer Survey - Future Operation

The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) Brough Branch lecture programme is designed to cover current developments and programmes within the aerospace domain along with operational and historical/retrospective subjects.

Opportunity is also taken to join on occasion with other local engineering institutions to provide the best opportunities for a broad coverage of topics. It is the prime opportunity for members to meet, interact and thereby develop.

Current societal norms have for a number of years seen decreasing attendance at such lectures, despite efforts by the branch to increase its appeal. Post Covid, this has seen an increased rate of decline.

Your answers and suggestions will enable the Brough Branch to assess their current operation and enable the Branch to adapt as appropriate to the interests of early careers and established engineers in the Branch catchment area.
