Campaign 2010-2011

As every year, we are preparing the renewal of your participation for the next annual series, which starts at the end of August.

As last year, we have chosen to simplify our procedures for the renewal of your participation in the annual series 2010/2011. Indeed, your participation in our PTS will be renewed on the basis of tacit agreement as it is stated in our statues. Without specific request for changes from your side, your PTS participation for 2010/2011 annual series will be the same as 2009/2010.

Reminder for the concerned member :

All the passwords and personal codes changed on August 2010, for the transition to the new annual series 2010 - 2011.
These new codes are provided to you on your registration confirmation (Member Information Form).
