The North Lincolnshire District of the I.E.E. was inaugurated at a meeting at the Berkley Hotel, Scunthorpe.

The North Midlands chairman A J Coveney and the Sheffield Sub-Centre chairman Dr. O I Butler were present. Mr H Peace was elected the Convenor. A Committee was set up to run the North Lincolnshire District.

Initially the meetings were held at the Angel Hotel, Brigg, it being a convenient meeting place for members from Grimsby and Scunthorpe.

During 1960 meetings began to be shared between Grimsby and Brigg until the closure of the Angel at Brigg when the venue was moved to the Wortley Hotel, Scunthorpe. On the formation of the Humberside County and the construction of the Humber Bridge discussions on a possible merger with Hull District took place. Members elected however to stay with the Sheffield District and retain the name of the North Lincolnshire District. Two meetings now being held in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. The Grimsby meeting being a guest evening with a buffet at the Grimsby Technical College and a joint meeting with the Grimsby Institute of Engineers and Shipbuilders (G.I.E.S.) at Cleethorpes.

A joint meeting with the Institute of Measurement and Control is also in the annual programme of meetings, the venue being either Scunthorpe or Brigg.

The A.G.M. is held in April each year and is traditionally chaired by the current Sheffield Centre chairman who gives his address. A collection for the Benevolent Fund is taken after the A.G.M.

The Annual supper Dance which was originally held at the Angel Hotel, Brigg is now held at the royal Hotel, Scunthorpe. Mr and mrs Eric Clegg organised and ran this event for a number of years prior to his retirement. It is now organised by Ron Allen and the current chairman Nigel Dransfield. Money is raised for the Benevolent Fund from this event.

In the summer of 1983 on the Silver Jubilee of the North Lincolnshire District a celebration weekend visit to london by members and their partners took place. Savoy Place was specifically opened on the Sunday morning for the visit, which was followed by a visit to the Thames Barrier.

The North Lincolnshire District continues to be an important part of the Sheffield Centre with young engineers being encouraged to take an active role.
