Messages and Direct Messages
We welcome feedback from our followers and will try to join the conversation where possible. However, we may not be able to reply individually to all the messages we receive via Twitter. The best means of communicating a query to us is by using the “Contact Us” section of our website.

We update and monitor our Twitter account during normal office hours Monday to Friday. We will also update and monitor the account outside of these hours at our own discretion. Twitter may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.
