NEW STUFF
Welcome to the 'new and improved' website. You should now be able to do most PESA admin online - join the society, renew membership, maintain your contact/address details. The online database is updated each time any changes are made, so the society now has access to all current membership information. As a member, you update your own contact details - including your email and the address to which the society's journal is sent. The Members' Lounge and an Executive Suite provide different levels of PESA information, with access based on user-level permission. The two menu sections at left should provide quick access to the web pages you visit regularly.
The website is still in development, so watch for further new functions.
