Syllabus forms by
Geoffrey Williams
There used to be a form on the old BGA site, that covered the syllabus
and had several boxes to sign-off,
"demo" , "Attemp" and "Satisf" for new pupils to work their
waythrough.
Have these gone, or just not to be found on the new BGA site ?

SYM Copy? by
sisu1a
Hi All,
I think my installation of SYM I'm using on my 310 is corrupted. My
update privileges ended as of March of this year, so I can't just
download a new one from Naviter. Does anyone have an archived copy of
the SYM download from last March or around thereabouts?
TIA,
-Paul
