Also today, in the interests of security and preventing spam to our Board and International Representatives, changes have been made to our Contact Us page. Now rather than generating a link to your email client you will need to complete a form, validate it with a Capcha validate and submit it to us. This is now a common practice on many websites and we hope that it will not deter you from making contact with us. You cannot attach any files but when we reply you will then be able to send over any necessary files. Appologies for any inconvenience but spammers have become more sophisticated recently and have attempted to break our former security wall so we have strengthened the defences!
