IFEDA website update

I have re-instated the IFEDA web-page that will allow you to purchase British Standards direct. On the IFEDA home page is a tab called products, when you hover above it with your mouse another tab will appear called BSI. Clicking on BSI will take you to our updated webpage and a list of the most used/requested standards for the fire industry.
Any problems please let me know –all appeared fine when I checked it.

IFEDA and Prostate cancer

Thanks to everyone who donated to Prostate cancer via my just giving page - a rather steady but disappointing 7 pounds weight loss (to coincide with Movember, see earleir post) but we raised £107.00 plus £15.50 of gift aid means a total of £122.50 to a very worthwhile charity - I shall carry on the good work but the page itself is now closed. Thanks again.
