Is there a feel for the level of support from candidates and supporters for a M4/6 day?

First thing to say is that the idea did not come from me but I am happy to support and promote it.
Indeed it is a "toe in the water". It could well be a low key event, but yes I do think that we will be able to muster enough of a team to deliver a useful day- I guess more focused on mod6 rather than the generally non-rail specific Principles of mod 4.
The more pertinent question is whether the candidate demand will there be?
However as signalling is now increasing dependent upon radio, networks and IP addressing, then actually there probably ought to be a demand for a "Telecoms for Dummies (= traditional Signal Engineer)" type event even disregarding IRSE exam module preparation. Just as we have attempted to cope with a range of expertise and interest at the Signet events in previous years, I think we may be able to offer something that addresses both needs. Time will tell.
