I've watched this program on The Learning Channel and it's quite comical
sometimes. It's always fun when the Royal Engineers are bested by some
motorcycle club working with their mom.

Hello,
Here is an opportunity to show what we SWE women can do... If you have a
team that would be interested in this please let me know, and also contact
Jackie Morris.
FYI, I looked at our local TV listings. There are 2 episodes on this
Wednesday (1/17,01) on TLC at 9, and 10. 9 o'clock is submersibles, 10
o'clock is hovercraft. Then they repeat again at midnight and 1.
Cheers,
Marilyn

To the Society of Women Engineers,
I am working for a production company, on behalf of TLC making a television
programme called Junkyard Wars. Junkyard Wars is an engineering game show
which sees teams compete to solve practical challenges (e.g. build a
Hovercrafts / Mini-Submarines / Cannons, etc.), using material they salvage
from a junkyard. Teams have just ten hours in which to complete their
machines, which are tested, raced or battled the following day. (Please
click on this link for more
information:<http://tlc.discovery.com/tlcpages/junkyard/junkyard.html>).
We are currently looking for teams to take part in the next series of the
programme and wonder whether any of your members may be interested in
participating? In previous series the majority of teams have consisted of
Caucasian males. This is an issue we are seeking to address by contacting
organisations who may be able to spread the word to perhaps encourage
applications from teams involving more women and ethnic participants. If you
or anyone at your organisation requires any further information please don't
hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you and best wishes
Jackie Morris

P.S. If you do have the opportunity TLC are showing a Junkyard Wars
extravaganza today - screening episodes from the previous series, back to
back.
