SUMMARY:Marine Spatial Challenge CPD Event 2019
DESCRIPTION:Scotland is forward thinking and fast moving when it comes to Marine Spatial Planning\, recognising the need for implementation as well has being home to many experts in environmental based management. The MSP Challenge board game is a tool which has been used in several MSP stakeholder engagement activities in recent years. It is a table top strategy game. Workshops can be developed based on the needs of a specific project and realities of a particular sea basin. The game is very easy to understand and has mostly been used as a low technology  approach to raise awareness about MSP. \nThis event will give planners the opportunity to engage in and be familiarised with the process of Marine Spatial Planning as well as learn about the different efforts\, Acts/Bills\, projects and progress happening all over Scotland. Discussing the 11 Marine Regions and what this means for planners will proved a platform for communication with experts and practitioners that will hopefully be sustained after the event.

SUMMARY:ICE-Dochfour Weir Repairs & Smart Canals
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Ross\,  Project Manager for the Dochfour Weir Project\nPeter Robinson\, Head of Engineering\, Scottish Canals\nThis talk will address the recent refurbishment of the historic Dochfour Weir constructed by Thomas Telford between 1825 and 1830 and will also present on the future of smart canals. \nOver the course of the eight month project\, engineers utilised more than 1\,000 tonnes of rock to construct a temporary access road; a helicopter to install a temporary ‘fish pass’ to retain the link between the River Ness and the mouth of Loch Dochfour; and over 800 tonnes of steel to reinforce the weir. The steel driven into the banks of the weir  will ensure the vital historic structure endures for another hundred years. \n

SUMMARY:IOSH Motivational Speaker (and AGM)
DESCRIPTION:Red Széll is a writer\, broadcaster and extreme sports enthusiast who refuses to allow blindness to stand in his way. \nA published author himself\, he presents Read on Air\, RNIB Connect Radio’s weekly show for those passionate about books and reading.\n \nIn 2013 Red became the first blind person to climb the Old Man of Hoy (the tallest sea-stack in the Northern Hemisphere and Britain’s most iconic pinnacle) – a feat that was captured by top-adventure cameraman Keith Partridge (Touching the Void\, The Beckoning Silence) in a BBC TV documentary. \nRed recorded a TED Talk and continues to work as a motivational speaker\, talking about his experience of sight loss and encouraging others to see that assisting the visually impaired is as much about raising expectations as about fundraising. To this end he has appeared in Run Your Race\, a short RNIB film promoting active participation in sport by blind people\, and starred in Fight For Sight’s Look Me In The Eye TV advertising campaign in 2017. It’s a message he also promotes in his regular appearances on BBC Radio 4’s In Touch programme and in the wide-range of newspaper\, magazine and blog articles he writes. \nA year-round open water swimmer Red has won medals at The 2015 Big Chill Swim and the Christmas Day 2014 Highgate Men’s Pond swim and completed the Henley Mile in June 2015\, the first blind competitor to do so. The same month he also became the first blind person to complete the gruelling 100 mile South Downs Way on a tandem (the route takes in 11\,000 feet of hill climbs and he and his sighted tandem partner hit speeds of up to 50mph on the downhill sections!) \n  \nNote- Refreshments from 2.30pm\, brief AGM at 3.00pm\, followed by motivational speaker (all welcome!)
