THE
SEMINAR
The
Institute of Vitreous Enamellers is the only body in the U.K. which
provides education on vitreous enamelling. This Seminar is designed
for anyone with an interest in Vitreous Enamelling. These Annual Seminars
are recognised as the training ground for the future of the enamelling
industry. Once again, we are pushing out the frontiers of our seminars
and we are going to Belgium. This year we have two visits. The first
is to the foundry and enamelling plant of Dovre nv, a dynamic company
where you will see the foundry, the enamelling plant and assembly
of a range of gas, oil and solid fuel room heaters. The second visit
is to the Liège works of the Arcelor group. This is an integrated
steel works where you will get the chance to experience the sheer
overwhelming power and size of the process. A visit to a steelworks
is a truly memorable experience and one which everyone should make
at least once in their lifetime. Click

THE
VENUE
Priorij
Corsendonk, the Seminar hotel, was originally a priory of the order
of St Augustine, founded in 1395. After various uses, it was converted
into a hotel and conference centre in 1975. The original architecture
has been fully retained but now offers everything that we require.
We will be spending three nights and having most of our meals here,
commencing with dinner on the evening of Sunday 12th September and
ending with breakfast on Wednesday 15th September. Click
here for booking form.
THE
SUBJECT
We are presenting a mixture of papers -
hence the title “A Miscellany”. With two visits to fit
in, we are limited to five technical papers, but as usual you can
be sure that the quality will be there! A summary of the subjects
of the papers is given below “Technical Content of Seminar”.

WHO
SHOULD ATTEND
If
you are interested in enamels or enamelling, then you should be there!
This seminar will give yet another chance to see what is happening in
one more country. With the current interest in cast iron enamelling
the visit to Dovre is very appropriate and the visit to Arcelor at Liège
will give you a chance to find out what the current steel shortages
are all about. The technical papers will encompass the usual combination
of practice, theory and discussion. And, of course, don’t forget
that the opportunity of “networking” offered during these
seminars is one of the best ways to ensure the future of our very specialised
industry.
The package will
interest managers, technicians and practical personnel. As a supplier
of raw materials or frits, you will have a chance to find out what
your customers really want. As a customer, who actually does the enamelling,
you will have a chance to see another plant and most certainly learn
something new.
We have arranged
outward travel on a Sunday to minimise the loss of time of your critical
personnel. This will limit the time off site to three full weekdays.
Surely a good investment for the future. Click
