BRITISH INSTITUTE OF NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING(THE)
Appeal from BINDT’s Composites Group
Do you work in the composites industry and/or specialise in non-destructive testing (NDT) of composites? Do you want to help shape the future of NDT of composites?

The Composites Group is looking for a new Chair and Vice Chair. For the past year we have operated with only a Chair, but the current Chair is due to step down at the end of 2025 and will be leaving the industry during 2026, so is unable to continue in the role.
At the recent Annual General Meeting (AGM), there were no volunteers or nominations to fill either post, so we plan to try again at the January 2026 meeting. Whether or not you are currently a member of the Composites Group, please consider whether you can stand or nominate a colleague for one of these roles. This is a good opportunity to steer the activities of the group in a direction you have an interest in and see changes in the industry as a result.
The aim of the group is broad: ‘to promote the advancement of the science and practice of NDT and condition monitoring (CM) of composite materials’, so there is plenty of scope.
