BALLOT PAPERS AND NOTIFYING OF CHANGES TO ADDRESS
 
We have received a few calls into Head Office from members saying that they have not received a ballot paper, and it seems that the common cause is that Head Office has not been notified by a small number of members that they have changed address. We are anxious that every member should receive a ballot paper in order to participate in the decision-making process.
