Under new regulations about to be enacted in the new Data Protection Act, all organisations including our own will need to confirm that information we hold about members is up to date and accurately recorded. Additionally, we are now required to obtain your permission to use this information including email and phone numbers to contact you. In the next few weeks, we will be contacting you individually to check that our information about you is correct and your specific permission to use this information to tell you about whats happening on the site. This doesn’t include communications like this one where you have already specifically opted in to receive notifications via the website and over which you have control. Forms will be distributed over the next week and it is extremely important that you return them to us as soon as possible. A post box will be provided at the main notice board on the main site for you to drop them in to. Alternatively, they can be handed to any member of the committee if you are happier doing that.
