Hi Murali,
Well done on passing your assessments, I'm looking down the barrel of the CSA right now.
I'm the Swansea rep on the LMC,and as you know, the AiT rep for S.W.Wales. Once this CSA pain is out of the way, I'd like to chat about the financial implications of this year-what with the decrease in the supplement and increase in exam fees and iniquitous rises of PMETB fees. I was at the JMF in Birmingham and someone said this was a 20% pay cut. Is that correct or is it only correct in England.

I'd also like to be aware of any problems from the training side in your VTS.

Also do you know anything about practice swaps? I heard about it on a course recently but haven't met anyone who has done it.

See ya

John
