UPDATING
OF INFORMATION
To help us help you, and to
ensure that we are
getting information to the correct person, could you please keep us up
to date
regarding changes to your Management Committees especially as most
groups are
having their AGM after the Membership Renewals are posted. If you
have given us
an email address, or contact address, for your group is it still
correct? In
some cases a contact phone number would also be of great assistance to
us. No
telephone numbers will be published unless we have permission to do
so. Please
forward any changes to the Secretary via mail or email.
