Contacts: extension

Contact details were illustrated for the list of Glasgow Area Architects FREE until 31 Oct 2002: Glasgow Architects

Details of those not signed up were be removed on 31 Oct, but can be checked for a week off the contacts page. Payment will be due every year by the last day in October.

The listings assist practices in raising their profile - in Edinburgh the concept has been popular, and being ranked at the top of most major search engines brings in traffic that other listings may not.
