RETURNING MEMBERS FEES NOW WELL OVERDUE

IF you have not yet renewed please do so ASAP as your membership is WELL OVERDUE - it helps immensely with the day to day running of your club.

Hi all,

For those still to pay (we calculate approx. GBP 10-12,000 still to collect) the new fees are still available to sign up to via the website. You just need to select the appropriate product under the “PAYMENTS” tab on top right of the home page.

Points to note:
Currently Pitchero does not support ability to simply amend value of Direct Debits’s hence the need to cancel and renew per below.

In future I expect that they will support this feature, as Go-Cardless (the payment engine that collects the direct debits on behalf of Pitchero) already offer this, but this will require each member to give their one time on-line consent first.

More to follow once this feature has been rolled out – just wanted to be clear on why we have the below process

I have instructed Go-Cardless to cancel ALL existing mandates during August, and you will receive a cancellation advice direct from them. Please set up your new DD asap as this will not be debited until September

The new products are all set up with a start date of 01/09/2014 so there should be no duplication/overlap. August should be last DD under old rates and September will be the first DD under new rates.

As such you are free to sign up and pay now.

Renewing should be straightforward but please be aware that if not already logged on the system, members will be asked to add postcode/house number and hopefully say YES to Gift Aid. You can of course elect not to grant the club the right, but hopefully all eligible taxpayers will answer in the affirmative!!

For Family memberships the system now requires that you add the names of those to be covered. If your son’s/daughters/partners are not registered on site you can either:

Sign them up as members first and then re-submit the application to pay a family subscription

Or

Send myself or George Adams an mail and we can quickly add your family members to the site and then confirm back to you so you can complete the payment online.

Manual Payments

The clubs bar till is now updated next week to allow manual payment by cash, credit card or cheque over the bar (though again would encourage all members to pay via website if possible please!!)

If you elect to pay over the bar there will be a supply of gift aid forms and membership forms to complete as applicable (will have a stack of 100 club forms as well if anyone is interested!!).

Each person paying manually will be asked to enter details into a payment book and receive a receipt, that way we have a cross reference as to who has paid and this can be added manually to the site.

By activating option to pay over the bar we have removed the burden on team admins to collect cash and also streamlined the collection and pay-in process – but again website is best !!

Any questions please shout – and thanks as ever for your support and prompt payment.

Should you have any concerns/issues regards payment of fees please do contact myself or a member of the clubs executive committee
