A Message from the Chairman

“I hope that you will find this website useful and informative. I would be grateful if you could accept my invitation to attend our carefully planned events for the coming session (see Events Calendar Sep08 – Dec09). Our evening meetings are also open to non-members with an interest in structural engineering.

Branch members who have registered their e-mail address with the IStructE database and information system will receive reminders and further details about forthcoming events held in the South. This facility is also available to non-members, free of charge.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the Branch Committee if you have any comments, ideas and/or contributions related to the objectives of the Branch including your representation at the IStructE HQ.

Thank you for your support in advance and I look forward to meeting you at one or more of the events that will take place throughout my chairmanship.”
