Payment
Payments may be made by cheque or Bank Transfer. Please submit separate payments for each event when booking or paying the final instalments.
Please pay attention to the due dates for payment. Final payment reminders with a payment slip will be sent out by email if you have provided your email address, otherwise by mail. Cheques must be sent with the relevant booking form or final payment reminder slip. Please see below if you want to pay by Bank Transfer.
On-Line Bank Transfers and paperless booking.
You can pay for events by on-line bank transfer to the club bank account and you can also download booking forms from the Club website, edit them and submit them electronically.
To keep control of the several hundred bookings that we get each year, and to match booking forms to payments, we have had to put in place some rules which we ask you to observe:
Separate bank transfers for separate events. No exceptions please!
A booking form must be submitted at the same time as payment is made (not before payment - no bookings are accepted without payment.)
Booking forms can be posted to the address shown or sent electronically to plsc.eventbookings@gmail.com. (Not to our general email)
If you send a booking form electronically, you must pay by on-line bank transfer.
Supplying a Bank Reference for each transfer is essential:
You must fill in the Reference field (Bank Reference) each time on your banking app or bank’s website when setting up the on-line transfer.
This Bank Reference must be in the format: EV<event number in the programme Member's family name>. Thus, the Bank Reference on a transfer for Event 12 by A.N.Other would be Ev12 Other (or Ev12 A.N.Other if your name is likely to be confused with someone else’s).
Quote the Bank Reference and the date of the transfer on the booking form so that we can match the transfer to the booking.
Remember to change the Bank Reference field for each new transfer because the last reference you used will still be showing on your banking App.
The member making the booking must pay for themselves and all their guests at the same time. (It would be difficult matching booking forms to payments if guests paid separately directly for themselves).
The bank account is Perkins Long Service Club. Sort code 20-67-37 (Barclays, Peterborough). A/c No. 00695661
