I always quote book and page reference nos. when I send off information, as by quoting them, you would receive a small discount if purchasing a BDM certificate from the Adelaide Registrar of BDM.

I hope the above is of some interest to you. Please don't hesitate to get back to me via my email address preferably, if there is anything you would like me to do for you.
