Payments to Thistles

Our Treasurer runs a versatile system where each member has a personal accounting "pot" within his system.  The Treasurer charges your membership, event fees and other charges to this pot.  Payments you make top up your personal pot and like when you pay your credit card bill, we do not consider your payment as specific to a charge.  This method allows you to run a small surplus and to top up by round sum amounts.

Worked Example - Tilburg Event

The Treasurer pays centrally for the squad to enter and for requested extras such as attending the event dinner.    For Tilburg I know I have to top up my pot with the £30 non-refundable deposit, £50 for my dinner and £30 for three lunches.  I choose to top up by £130 to cover these and any further extras.  At the end of the event I receive a detailed accounting of what I have been charged which, because it is in Euros, comes to (say) £101.73.  The surplus £28.27 is carried forward (or repaid on request) to the next event.

REFERENCE FIELD ON YOUR BANK TRANSFER

All payments to Thistles are made by bank transfer.  It is important for the Treasurer to be able to allocate payments to the correct pot.  Every member has a unique Player ID (in the format XX99, available on your Login Profile).  Thus for the Treasurer's benefit can you use exactly the following example with no spaces:  TOPUPXX99
