Join our committee – A message from the Branch President, John Weston:

‘I joined the Welding Institute for the qualification. My boss encouraged me to become involved in the local Branch. I did so to “give something back”. Little did I realise the benefits I would gain in knowledge, fellowship and networking.

Why don't you become involved in your Branch? With Zoom it has never been easier. It is not onerous, it is good for your CV/CPD and the committee is an interesting and friendly group of people.’
