			<description><![CDATA[We had a meeting last night of the 2013 London group, and decided that since we all probably failed again this year, it was time to start the 2014 group.<br />
<br />
We have heard rumours that Firas may be setting up a Module 1 &amp; 7 group at Interfleet in Liverpool St, so in the vein hope that some of us actually managed to pass this year, the other London based group (LU offices in Victoria) will be looking at modules 3 &amp; 5.<br />
<br />
We want to welcome new members, so anybody who is interested in joining, please contact myself.<br />
<br />
Look forward to hearing from you all.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Have yet to determine which two modules we'll cover for the 2013 exam.  Original idea was to attempt module 2 with CBTC solution, but that now seems ambitious, so minded to defer until the SSR ATC has achieved greater maturity so that it can serve as a basis.<br />
Probably will do module 1, quite possibly keeping to the Tuesday evening 17:00 - 19:00 slot.  We'll have some 6-8 weeks off and then make a gentle start before Christmas.<br />
<br />
If interested in attending or indeed volunteering to lead some sessions, contact me.<br />
<br />
It may be possible to offer some assistance to others further afield prepared to keep pace with us through the various topics during the year.  So if you've struggled previously with mod 1 (or have yet to attempt but are daunted) again let me know and I'll see what we can do to incorporate you into a wider group.  This will not however be a "one way" feed; the advantage comes from a Study Group when people participate actively.  Obviously distance will limit the extent that this is practicable, but we'll do what we can.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The London Study Group will be tackling both Module 3 Signalling Principles and Module 5 Signalling Applications together, since in many ways these are two sides of the same coin; the first looking at the "high-level" aim of WHAT we are tying to achieve and the second more the HOW we achieve it technically.<br />
<br />
Sessions will initially be held 17:00-19:00 on Tuesdays (generally) at 200 Buckingham Palace Road starting November 22nd.  We are going to start with gentle introductory background material before transitioning to more exam focussed activity in February 2012.  As befits the varied interests within the group, there will be a mixture of legacy LU, current NR and transmission based signalling considerations.  The attachment has a long list of individual topics from which we'll choose a selection; we can no more address them all in the year than one could eat everything on a resturant menu in just one sitting.  Some items on the list are what may be considered main dishes and thus the meat" of the modules, where others are starters, side dishes and garnishes etc., many of which are primarily considerations of other modules.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">This is an open invitation to anyone that is interested in attending.</span><br />
<br />
The first session this year will be held in <br />
<br />
Meeting Room 9<br />
Floor 1<br />
1 Eversholt Street<br />
London<br />
NW1 2DN<br />
<br />
On Monday 18th February between 17:30 and 19:00 <br />
<br />
The speaker for this session will be Tom Lee who is of the IRSE Exam Committee, the discussion will revolve around the results of last years module 1 exam.<br />
<br />
For those of you who attended the IRSE YM AGM / Exam Review, Tom was not able to make that event so some different / further points may arise from the discussion and I would recommend that you to attend.<br />
<br />
Non Network Rail staff will need to be escorted onto the premises and everyone has to sign in, unless you work at Eversholt Street.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Further LSG info please read &amp; provide feedback</span><br />
<br />
We are currently in discussion about some improvements that we are planning to make to the structure of the study group and possibly expanding the scope of the group to cover some of the other modules, so look out for further posts in the near future. If anyone has any feedback from last year or ideas for this year please get in touch ASAP.<br />
<br />
Currently the most likely scenario is that module 1 and module 2 sessions will be held on alternate weeks (17:00 - 19:00), with mod1 on Mondays and mod2 on Wednesdays, as this suits those of us running the group.<br />
<br />
However there won't be much point in us sitting in an empty room if no one can make those days, so please let us know how this fits with you but please bear in mind that we can't please everybody!!<br />
