Membership to Vote

PAMRA will inform the membership about the next constitutional steps in due course, which are likely to include the calling of an EGM where members will be invited to vote on resolutions concerning PAMRA’s future. Final details are still to be confirmed and written notice will be given to PAMRA members in accordance with the Association’s Memorandum and Articles.

Business as Usual

For the present it’s business as usual at PAMRA and members should not experience any disruption to the service they receive. Any further information and significant developments will be announced by email newsletter and posted to our website.
