I am writing as there have been some changes to the UK and Ireland Chapter of the IEEE Magnetics Society. Professor Bob Stamps, who was Chair of the Chapter has stood down as he has taken the position of Head of Department at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.  On behalf of the Chapter I would like to thank him for the work that he did and wish him well in the future. I would like to invite members who wish to volunteer their time to serve on the Magnetics Chapter committee to contact me.
