I can only suggest that you visit your nearest main public library.........they will have the telephone directory (ies) for Dorset. Have you noted the postmark on any of the mail you have received from them? Reg

Just did a search on an electoral roll site I am registered with and got 252 Skates in the whole of UK, but no Reg or Reginald, and no Shealagh or Sheila.
