I have not received my activation code yet
Your registration entries must exactly match the membership details we already hold for you.
As a data security measure we insist on a 100% match on your details to enable an automatic activation code to be issued.
Anything less than 100% will require a member of our team to intervene which will delay the sending of your activation code.
If it has been more than 10 days since you registered and you require a copy of your activation letter, please call us on 01274 434999.
My activation code is not working
You need to type it very carefully making sure there are no trailing white spaces.
The letter O is not used in any activation codes so any 0s are numeric zero.
If you get an error during activation please wait 15 minutes before trying again, do not click on anything else in that 15 minutes.
