Useful Websites and Contacts

The following are some websites for your information.  MSN search is recommended. Do remember that information on websites may not always be correct – check for the most up-to-date information.  Also official websites are much more reliable than unofficial ones.  Searching through websites can take a long time and it is easy to get side-tracked from your original search – make notes of information as you see it because you might forget where it is and not be able to find it again!
