Thanks Andrew and John,
I rang the Faculty, which I understood was at the
RCS, hence the college comment. Ive also now been e-mailed the actual info
for going about getting registration, and as you say its an individual
assessment - its just a case of getting accurate information.
So I may be able to enjoy another lovely London summer after all !
thanks
Craig
