Subscriptions From September 2013

It was decided in early 2008 that all subs should be paid by monthly standing order. If someone can’t pay by Standing Order please talk to a leader. The group took this decision because the leaders are busy arranging the program each week and in the past chasing people to pay subs has caused a lot of work for the treasurer. Since everyone helps voluntarily and everyone struggles for time we really appreciate the simplicity of a system where everyone pays by Standing Order.

Subscription rates are currently based on £40 a term. This means the standing order should be for £10 for all sections.

When a person first attends the group they get the half term they join in for free and then they need to pay for the following complete half terms.

In order to get the standing order start date correct please use the following. The date below is the date of the first complete half term. So someone might start attending at the end of July and they would therefore need to pay subs from the winter term onwards. The start date for the standing order should therefore be Autumn first ½ term and therefore September.

Winter first ½ term : January Winter second ½ term: March Spring/Summer first ½ term: May Spring/Summer second ½ term: July Autumn first ½ term: September Autumn second ½ term: November

From a group point of view it would be best if there was a separate standing order for each child. The “Quoting ref” which starts “S01 -” should contain the name of the Beaver, Cub or Air Scout. So if you are paying for a cub called “Joe Bloggs” the “Quoting Ref” would be “S01 – Joe Bloggs”. If you have online banking you all the details you need are on the form. If you need to fill the form in, this should be handed in to your bank not the section leaders. It is however appreciated if you let the section leader know this has been done.

If you wish to discuss any of the above with me please phone 01376 346198 or e-mail [email protected]
