The Auckland group had their inaugural meeting on Tuesday 9th April, 2002 at this meeting we had a presentation by Lindsay Dalziel of - Design Smart Ltd on the Solidworks World convention in Las Vegas. This very informative presentation was followed by a discussion amongst those present on exactly what format the meetings should take and how often we wanted to meet. It was decided to have meetings on the second Thursday of every other month.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thusday 13th of June. The meeting will be held at the Industrial Research Limited premises in Parnell. Start time is set down as 4:00pm
