Durban Branch Bulletin
Here we are and another month has flown by! Well, I haven't given the members who love old photos anything for a while - do any of you remember this spot from the days of our youth?
Yes, I am sure many of you do. And then, with the advent of citizen band (CB) radio, you could place orders in advance. Wow! Technology at its best! Well, it was for us back then - no tweets or twits or whatever they call these new fangdagled things the young people use, and some older ones too. The lighting in this car park was 400 W HPS tubular lamps in cast aluminium bodies. They lit up the car park very nicely.
On the street light side of things, LEDs are being tested in many areas with varied success. I will keep you posted when I have more news on this.
The functions are still going well and please feel free to bring along new persons who you think would be interested. They are always welcome. We also welcome your suggestions on what functions you would prefer and on functions we would be interested in.
It is always a pleasure to receive articles for the news bulletins from you, our members, so take advantage of this opportunity and brag about your company or staff - hey, a little free advertising is always good!
To all of you who send me e-mails on a variety of topics, thanks! And to those who have commented on our news bulletin, thank you too, it is always great to hear from our members and constructive criticism is appreciated.
See you all soon.
