I'm totally confused about this, having received 2 letters from CILIP last week. The first came with a copy of the new regulations book, and said that as a candidate registered under 1991 or 1995 regulations, I could consider the submission methods in the new regulations as an additional option to those under the 1991 or 1995 regulations. The very next day I received another letter, which seemed to say in one paragraph that I have until October 2004 to submit under the old regulations, and in the next paragraph invited me to apply for an extension to the deadline if I believed I had "genuine mitigating circumstances" that had prevented me submitting within the deadline. Does this mean an extension to the October 2002 deadline, or the October 2004 deadline?

I'm attending a Chartership event at CILIP headquarters this evening, where I hope to get a clear answer and some inspiration to actually make a start on this (again). If we don't hear from CILIP via the list on this today, I'll post again tomorrow and let you know what I found out.
