The February Branch Meeting will take place Thursday February 18 at 7PM in the lower lounge of the Naden Naval Officers’ Wardroom near the dockyard entrance.

The presenter will be Dylan Powell from the Canadian company Fiberglass Solutions Inc. who will present an overview of composite pipe technologies and marine technical applications including seawater cooling and ballast water management. With corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to traditional steel products, life cycle costs can be substantially reduced.
Members often arrive early to share a beverage with colleagues in the upper lounge. Guests and spouses are always welcome.
