Dear Colleague
I do hope that the 'reminder' notice below is not news to you. However, if it is, my apologies for an obvious oversight in not having you or your organisation on our mailing list.
You may like to consider joining the Society either as an individual, or, on behalf of your organisation as a corporate member and I would be pleased to let you have further details of the Society and its membership.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference or, if you are unable to attend, hearing from you sometime in the future.
With best wishes
Anthony Clifford
