Business Manager’s Report
Bulletin Advertising
The last few months have been very busy and I hope that all of you that attended the APEA AGM, Conference, Exhibition and Dinner in November enjoyed yourselves. It certainly was an exciting event that we hope to repeat next year.
Thanks to all of you that renewed your advertising for the 2007 issues of the Bulletin and thanks to new advertisers too. Remember that if you book in all four issues you receive a 25% discount and we are able to offer discounts for those of you that wish to book for more than one issue but less than four issues too. You will also receive a 50% discount on Yearbook advertising too for the 2008 issue. The advertising rates remain unchanged for 2007 and are listed on our website on the ‘Publications’ page at www.apea.org.uk If you would like to book advertising in the Bulletin for 2007, please call me on 0845 603 5507 or email me at admin@apea.org.uk for a booking form.
2007 Yearbook You should have all received your 2007 Yearbooks at the beginning of October. Please let me know if you have not received your delivery and I will follow this up. All UK deliveries were delivered by recorded delivery. I will be posting out the 2008 Yearbook registration forms to you in February with the March issue of the Bulletin, so please ensure that you return your form if you wish to be included. 2007 Membership You will find your 2007 renewal notice letter with this copy of the Bulletin, if you have not received it please let me know. Anyone joining the APEA between October and December 2006 will have their membership extended to include 2007. I would be grateful if you can make your payments before 1st January as this cuts down the amount of follow up reminder mailings that I do each year. As usual you can pay via the APEA website at www.apea.org.uk or by cheque or credit card. Unfortunately we have been unable to continue with the Direct Debit facility, however, if you wish to set up a standing order please let me know I will forward the APEA bank details.
