Payment: All payment is to be made in Sterling – either cash, cheques or money orders. For non-UK members please note that UK Banks charge a fortune to handle non sterling cheques or currency and you are advised not to pay this way.

For non-UK members I am happy for payment to be made into my Paypal account (provided the relevant costs are covered). I will then pass the funds on to the society. This is a much cheaper way to pay that trying to negotiate currency transactions through the banking system.
