We would like to ask all members to please recheck their email addresses as it would appear some of the information on our database is incorrect and we have also found some email accounts are very efficient at throwing out what they class as junk or spam, and we would ask that you please add ACPOMIT emails to your safe senders list. We would also like you to update any other necessary details as we are now required by the CSP to have all members CSP numbers on our database.
