- 2005: Very little activity up till October when Adam joined the committee and went to the 2005 Younger Members conference in Glasgow to learn about how to run a YM network. Dave joined in November and somehow ended up becoming YM Chairman… Although events had been planned for the 2005/6 season by the former committee, no details of arrangements or what to do had been left for Adam and Dave but they still managed to run a successful recruitment event in November.
- 2005/6 season: The annual egg race was run successfully in March but the focus for the year was on planning events for 2006/7 and recruiting more committee members to help out.
- Jan/Feb 2006: Distraction/challenge arrives in the form of a merger between the IIE and IEE to create the IET. This has an impact upon YM activities and is still proving to be a problem. We still haven’t dealt with this challenge as all committee members are still “ex-IEE” and there are very few activities targeted at “ex-IIE”.
- Summer 2006: Adam recruits Michael onto the committee but Adam then leaves to do a placement in Bristol.
- Autumn 2006: Michael recruits Chris onto the committee and Dave recruits Jon onto the committee.
- November 2006: Dave, Adam and Michael go to the annual YM conference in Glasgow to find out what they should be doing. They dream up the (incredibly imaginative) idea of a newsletter and here we are!
