Welcome to the British Computer Society Isle of Man Section website. Our section was created on the 7th of July 2004 as an international section of the BCS on a par with other similar sections such as Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and the recently formed Jersey and Guernsey sections.
Our Section holds either a professional or social event each month from September to June. There may also be impromptu social events in July and August. Our events are normally open to non-members.
Our forthcoming events are published on our web site and if you happen to be on the Isle of Man at a time coinciding with an open event please join us. If you are a BCS member and regular visitor to the island or would like to register with the Section anyway, then please update your details held by the BCS.

Our event for this month will be a visit to the highly automated “state of the art” Douglas Water Treatment Works on the 16th of March commencing 6.15pm. We will be hosted by the Chief Executive of the Isle of Man Water Authority, John Smith, and his staff. The visit should last until approximately 8pm.
For safety reasons this event is limited to 20 people and preference will be given to BCS members. Therefore, book early by emailing publicity06-at-bcs.org.im.
Those included in the visit should park their cars in the adjacent Isle of Man college car park and walk the short distance to the Water Treatment Works. For those unfamiliar with the area the following picture should assist.
High heels should not be worn as much of the visit will consist of walking over gratings. Those who suffer from vertigo should inform the IOMWA staff to facilitate a less vertiginous route round the works.
