Dear Readers

I would like to inform you that the TMS office will be closed from 12:00 14 December 2012, and will re-open on Tuesday the 15th of January 2013 at 09:00. I would like to encourage you to make all your

payments no later than the 7th of December 2012, to enable us to update and send out all accounts by

the 14th of December.

Furthermore, I wish to thank all of you for the ongoing support during the past year and ensure that all of us @

TMS will continue to assist you with kindness and friendliness on an ongoing basis.

I would also like to inform you that as of November 2012 I’m registered as an Intern Estate Agent

with Seeff for the next few months. By the middle to end of next year I will be a fully qualified and

registered estate agent.

What is World AIDS Day?

World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.

Why is World AIDS Day important?

More than 90,000 people are currently living with HIV in the UK and globally an estimated 33.3 million people have HIV. More than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pan-demics in history.

Today, many scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. But despite this, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV, and stigma and dis-crimination remain a reality for many people living with HIV. World AIDS Day is important as it reminds the public and Government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.

always been available but there has

a certificate of registered sectional

title in respect of a fraction of an

Deals with the extension of schemes.
