South West

The South West Group (formerly known as the Cornwall and Devon Group) aims to meet quarterly (but sometimes only twice a year), usually in Exeter. We are a lively group with a good mix of experienced and newly qualified indexers and student members, all with a good appetite for lunch! Since our name change we have been pleased to welcome several members from further east to the discussion list and also to have Somerset represented at recent meetings. We are all welcome at local CIEP group meetings, too – check for announcements on the Forum.

The South West Group runs a discussion forum that is open to all members of the Society.

Forthcoming meetings

Information will be posted here in due course once the lockdown restrictions have been lifted. In the meantime, keep in touch with other indexers via SIdeline and the group forums. Don’t forget you can participate in discussions on any of the local group forums.
