We are pleased to announce that AQMLM membership has now passed the 100 mark, including several regional groups!

We had no formal presence at IBMS, but all we spoke to about AQMLM were interested and enthusiastic, including many diagnostic company staff who are very welcome to join.

We now have close to 60 members and have received enquiries from two potential groups. Organisations are also approaching us to put links to them on our websites.

AQMLM now has a registered address which should be used for all written communications (note we would still prefer to work paper-free whenever possible). This is:

AQMLM
PO Box 15252
Birmingham
B16 6HD

Later on in the summer, we will be creating the 'Members Only' area of the website, which will have secure login, document sharing and download facilities.

We are rapidly approaching our 50th membership registration, invoices are now being sent out, and, as soon as payment is received, a welcome letter and AQMLM terms of reference will be emailed.

This is a very encouraging start and bodes well for the future.
