21-23 June 2022 ~ Virtual Masonry Educator’s Workshop
The Masonry Educator’s Workshop (MEW) is an excellent way to support those who are teaching our future designers and construction managers so they are comfortable with masonry, understand its many benefits, and thus more at ease in using it on their projects. Here is invitation and request from Phillip Samblanet at the Masonry Society (TMS) MEW Invitation and a daft Program Agenda Virtual MEW Schedule – Revised 2021-12-09

January 2022 ~ RIBA CPD Showcase – Conservation and renovation
The buildings we cherish help define our place in the world. It’s therefore right that we protect important buildings, employ best practice and consult authorities (such as historic building officers) before embarking on their renovation. Where an existing building is not covered by listed or conservation area status however, is it any less important to make the best of it?
The RIBA CPD Providers Network members are all specialists in the protection, preservation, renovation and, yes – even modernisation – of existing buildings
