Season's Greetings
From The Chamber of Engineering Technology (COET)
Hi, December 2025
From the Chamber of Engineering Technology Council we wish you, your family and friends Seasonal Greetings, a happy and peaceful Xmas, and a healthy prosperous new year.
Kindly note that our office will be mainly closed from around 12 Dec to Jan 15.
Please note that while E mails to us will still be accepted they may take a while to be replied to. Kindly note that the office telephone number may or may not be answered.
At this time of Goodwill kindly remember those who are less fortunate and please consider giving gifts and donations to a deserving charity. We would suggest a children’s home. Your local church will be able to assist you. With the country’s unemployment rate of around 31.9% any gifts or donations will be appreciated.
Good news for you is that invoices for 2026 membership fees will only be sent out mid-January 2026. Payment should be by end of February. So this should help you with your cash flow after the December expenses!
We again wish you a good and peaceful December holiday.
COET Admin.
