Matters Arising
No matters arising
Web

There has been an increase in the amount of spam occurring on the PPK forums. EG has now taken measures to limit the influx of this spam
Currently there are officials within the Party without PPUK email addresses, EG wishes to tidy up the pool of available addresses and requires that the NEC provide him with a list of email address that can be removed.
