A note on payments to the club PAYMENTS TO THE CLUB Online payments A number of members have advised they have difficulty in changing the reference each time for online payments for galas. If this is the case for you, please set a single reference of your surname followed by the word gala (so for example SMITH GALA ) and then when making a payment you should email to let me know what the payment is for: email swimmers@cocsc.org.uk Combining payments for multiple events This is not a problem at all, as long as you tell us the breakdown of the payment by emailing to swimmers@cocsc.org.uk. In the case of cheques, just make a note on the back of the cheque. Rejected from an event or wrongly entered and due a refund We now have facilities to issue a credit note for a future event or a refund by bank transfer. We will email when refunds are due so you can advise on which method suits you. A few members are still making payments to our old account (sort code 60-04-41) Please can you check you are using the correct account (see Gala Entry page) and delete the old account info from your records! Many thanks to all who are making prompt payment this is a huge help to remove the admin burden of chasing payments up! Deborah Barker, CoCSC Admin Officer
