London to Liverpool

By

I spent last week in England and attended two very good SOLIDWORKS User Group meetings, managed to navigate the London underground system, and took a hair raising ride to Heathrow airport on Friday.  All in all a very good trip.

We met at a very nice pub called The Parcel Yard for the SOLIDWORKS User Group London.  The folks from NT CADCAM gave us a nice look at the new Chain Pattern functionality in SOLIDWORKS 2015, and a rendering session finished up the evening.  Right around 20 people in total, some good “local” food, and a nice venue made for a terrific evening.

John Moore’s University in Liverpool was the venue for the United Kingdom SOLIDWORKS User Group North West User Group meeting.  The meeting was held in conjunction with the universities annual Student Design Show, and we got to see some wonderful projects displayed.

The JMU students ruled the day.

Group leader Adam Green was all smiles as nearly 100 people mixed and mingled with students, faculty, and industry reps.  According to Adam, this will become an annual event for UK-SWUG-NW.

There are too many people to thank for my trip – Adam Green, Kevin Clouden, Simon Booker, Ian Pilkington, Gemma Walsh, SOLIDWORKS Resellers, the John Moore’s University faculty, and whoever selected the wine served at the event.

If I were going to drink wine, I'd drink this wine.

Thanks again everyone!
