IMechE UNITEN Student Chapter participated in the Clubs and Societies Bazaar 2009 which was held on the 21st July to 22nd 2009 in UPTEN food court. The Bazaar was a drive to recruit more members into the society besides giving an early exposure to the junior members on the benefits of becoming a part of the student chapter as well as the IMECHE UK. We were given booth number 15, located on the left corner of UPTEN food court. Each committee member was subjected to a minimum of two hours of duty at the booth to promote the society to the visitors.

The event started at 5.30p.m on the 21st July followed by an officiating ceremony by the VVIP at 7.50p.m. Flyers were given out to the visitors and our committee members managed to gather a big crowd to the IMECHE booth. Turn out for the first day was overwhelming as we managed to recruit 51 new members into the society. Another 21 students managed to upgrade their membership to Affiliate members of IMECHE UK. The first day of the bazaar ended at 11.00p.m with some entertaining performance from participating clubs and societies.

The bazaar continued for the second day at 5.30p.m. 32 new members successfully registered to be a part of the Student Chapter. The event came to an end at 11.00p.m with the summary of the 2 days event by the program director. In whole, the turnout of membership drive was overwhelming as we have 83 new members in the society now. The support and cooperation given by the committee members is much appreciated. Hopefully the Student Chapter will be able to carry out all the upcoming events with great success along with full support of the members.
