HFRO Contacts
This page has yet to be developed.If you would like your contact details on this page so that old colleagues can get in touch, please email Alan Sibbald (email link below) with your details and a little bit of your history so folks remember who you are!
The contact details could include phone numbers or postal addresses for folk who don't have access to email. However, this page is in the public domain (I can't provide password protection with the current set up) so anyone can read it.
Please note that I have deliberately corrupted email addresses which could be trawled by clever software from junk-mailing companies. I have, therefore, added the letters "zzz" to all email addresses on this page which will result in "undeliverable email" messages being returned to the junk mailers. You will need to manually remove the "zzz" from the "To:" section of an email message before you send it.
