To be kept up to date with the latest developments and news of the IRSE Minor Railways Section a Yahoo web-group has been set up. To join this group please contact Steve Growcott at Growcott@distantsignals.co.uk.

Guidance on Safety Assurance
The Institution has just published "Guidance on the Application of Safety Assurance Processes in the Signalling Industry", a document prepared by our Professional Guidance Group in response to concerns about the application of such processes. Copies are available from the publications list and via IRSE On-Line. A full copy has been printed in the July IRSE NEWS.

IRSE Careers Page and Job Board
The IRSE Careers site is now live on this site - you can view signalling job vacancies, find out about other careers options, and contact recruiting companies to help you find the next step in your career.

IRSE Web Site
As a further improvement to the web-site, an Online facility is now available. At present, you can use this to amend your contact details, pay subscriptions and order publications. Further functionality will be added in due course. If you have any comments on the web site, please forward them to hq@irse.org.

London Technical Meetings
A number of the papers read in London have been recorded and are available to view as web-casts. This is still in an "experimental phase" and we are using the services of the Institution of Mecanical Engineers to provide this facility. In due course, we will incorporate this feature into our own website. To view the lectures, look at the papers page.

Competence Guidance-Trainborne Systems
