AECB Brighton group
*** SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS OF LATEST MEETINGS ***
The AECB (Association for Environment Conscious Building) is a network for sustainable building professionals in the UK and helps individuals and companies build and share knowledge. The Brighton group is an informal opportunity to discuss sustainable building practices, techniques and technical issues. Professionals and non-professionals are equally welcome and the evenings are useful for architects, building contractors, clients and associated trades, as well as self-builders, DIYers, in fact anyone involved in the sustainable building sector. Meetings are very informal and actively encourage people to bing along projects and drawings.
Do email jim@jimmillerdesign.co.uk or tim@buttersideup.com to ask about the meetings or to sign up for the mailing list.
