      • e-mail – we have a nice newsletter that we hope you choose to subscribe to. When you register on our sites we email an offer to subscribe. We will probably ask when we speak as well. If you don’t want it, then that’s no problem.
      • telephone – we will call after your enquiry to see if we can help further. We’re nice people and we promise never to pressure you in any way!
      • Post – this is actually unlikely but we’re covering ourselves just in case. If you don’t want to receive anything from us by post just tell us at any time.
    3. To administer any prize draws or competitions you may enter. <– the lawyer added this bit, but we haven’t done any for years. You never know, but we’d better still mention it just in case and because we paid a fortune for his advice.

  1. As a result of your login / enquiry, you may receive a copy of our free newsletter by email, upon receipt of which you may unsubscribe from future editions.

As with all things here, if you want something to be different, just ask.

From time to time, we may need to pass the information we collect to other companies for administrative purposes.
