Website Changes
The website has been updated to a new version of the CMS as the version we were running will no longer be supported from April 2012. The only major change is that the Member's menu has been moved from the left of the webpage to a menu item "Members" that will appear in the main horizontal menu when you are logged in. This was increasing in size and it was decided including it on the main horizontal menu will allow greater room for new entries. Along with the guidance, latest newsletter and user profile you will also find a new section with photos from the last conference.
For anyone externally linking to the website it is possible that the specific web page address may have changed. We apologise for any inconvenience this make cause.
