The Professional Engineers Club Exeter is a Charity and social group that meets once a month in Exeter.
We are a group of people with a common interest – we like to get down and talk engineering. If you would like to rub shoulders and even chat with someone who designed a suspension bridge or worked on nuclear power stations, then you would be at home with us. If you are a retired or near retirement professional engineer or related professional and would like to join our club, you will be very welcome.
NEW!! See the latest blogs –Christmas lunch – 8 Dec 2025 and ‘Treasures of Exeter Cathedral Library’.
Being retired or near retirement is not mandatory, that would be ageism, but because our meetings are held on Monday mornings, pretty well all our members are in fact, retired. –

Our Club
The Club was founded in 1986 as the Retired Chartered Engineers’ Club to provide a social meeting place for retired and semi retired professional engineers and a means of keeping in touch with achievements and developments in engineering. The Club has links with other organisations including the University of Exeter. We meet on the second Monday of each month, and occasionally organise site visits and social events.
Membership is open to mainly retired or near-retirement Engineers (we meet on Monday mornings!) and related professionals resident in the South West and currently includes around 30 representatives from the Aeronautical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Communications, Gas, Marine, Mechanical, Petroleum, Structural and other disciplines.
Please complete the membership application form below and send it to the Secretary (Address on form).
Members assemble from 10.00am for an informal tea or coffee and the meeting starts promptly at 10.30am when short reports concerning Club business are presented by the committee. This is followed by a talk of approximately 40 – 60 minutes on a subject of engineering interest usually given by invited speakers or sometimes by members. Topics have been as diverse as nuclear fusion reactors and Roman aqueducts.
Social events take place throughout the year and technical visits are arranged for the summer months.
The Heritage Trail section researches the achievements of engineers with local connections and where appropriate arranges for the erection of plaques in their memory.
