Chairman’s Report

or by phone and I can email you a copy.

Course dates are listed on page 55 but at time of going to press I was unable to include all the dates and locations for 2004, however, you can now view the up to date list on the APEA website at www.apea.org.uk/training

Membership

To date there are 1011 APEA members with approximately 30 members joining during October, November and December. You can find details of new members below.

Should you also have any other changes to your contact details please email me on admin@apea.org.uk. This will also ensure that your correspondence gets delivered to the correct address.

Membership Renewals

You should have all received your membership renewal notices in November with the December issue of the Bulletin.

Thanks to those of you that have been sending in your payments.

If you have not yet renewed your membership please can you make payment as soon as possible so that I do not have to send out the hundreds of reminder letters as I did to members in 2003 and of whom renewed, be it rather late.

At the time of going to press in February I had only received around 650 payments from over 1000 members.

Next year we should have a straightforward facility that will enable you to pay via our website which should simplyfy the procedure. I am also looking into the possibility of setting up a direct debit facility for members. I will let you know when these faciities become available.

Currently you can pay be cheque or credit card, just complete the payment form at the bottom of the renewal notice your received and send it to the APEA office or fax it with your credit card details on 01799 502929.

You can also email me with your credit card details, just include your membership number that is shown on the payment form, together with your credit card number, expiry date and the type of membership you require.

Please ensure that you select the membership that is correct for you for 2004. As detailed on the renewal notice Corporate members will receive 5 copies of the Bulletin per quarter, plus 5 copies of the Yearbook from the 2005 issue. Please also ensure that if you select Corporate membership that you have only one representative per company.
