AMF Year End Review & Christmas Social

Join us on the Quayside as we wrap up a great year for the Advanced Manufacturing Forum.

Our AMF partner Ward Hadaway has kindly agreed to host us in their newly refurbished offices, right on Newcastle’s Quayside. They’ll even be providing festive snacks and a little bubbly to help us ease into the Christmas mood.

This is our final AMF gathering of 2025 — part review, part celebration, and a great excuse to get together before the festive break.

What to Expect

AMF Year-End Review
A lively, engaging look back at 2025 — MENE highlights, new members, new forums, major collaborations, and a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2026.

Meet the Team
A chance to meet our board, ambassadors, forum leads, and the partners who help drive the AMF forward every single month.

Festive Fun
We’re encouraging Christmas jumpers and festive outfits — the bolder, the better.
There’ll also be a few light-hearted Christmas games and quizzes, plus a prize for Best Festive Dressed.

Christmas Social (from 4:30pm onwards) - You only need to book this ticket if you are only coming to the social.
When the review wraps, we’ll head out onto the Quayside for relaxed Christmas drinks — the perfect way to end the year with good company and great conversations.

Who Should Attend

• AMF members
• Partners and supporters of the Forum
• Manufacturers and engineers across the North East
• Anyone who’s been part of AMF’s journey in 2025
• New members eager to meet the wider community

This whole afternoon is warm, friendly, and informal
