Calling all engineers (and aspiring engineers)
The Esk Energy team ran a well-supported (despite the snow) talk and visit to site for engineers and aspiring engineers on Saturday 21st November. A number of those attending had also listened to a talk by our Chair, Colin Mather, at the Whitby Civic Society.
Just a quick note to thank your group for the most interesting and educational visit to the new wheel on the Ruswarp dam. Both the talks at the cinema in Whitby and at Ruswarp Village Hall were absolutely first class. Detailing what was/is a very complex project. It was particularly interesting for me being Ruswarp born and bred. Terry Stonehouse
