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.</p><p>Subscription rates are currently based on £40 a term. This means the standing order should be for £10 for all sections.</p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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</p><p>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.</p><p>If you wish to discuss any of the above with me please phone 01376 346198 or e-mail [email protected]</p><p>Jon Hinchliffe STANDING ORDER MANDATE 2nd Braintree & Bocking Scouts Please hand in to bank or set up online</p><p>To Bank</p><p>Postal </p><p>Address</p><p>Please Pay Lloyds TSB Bank St Braintree Sort Code 30-91-14 </p><p>2nd Braintree & Bocking for the credit of A/C no. 01082554 Scout Group quoting ref S01 - </p><p>Date of last Amount Due date and frequency Payment and the sum of £ thereafter every</p><p>Please cancel all standing order/direct debit Under Reference Number mandates in favour of</p><p>Name of Account to be debited Sort Code Account Number</p><p>Signature(s) Date </p><p>Banks may decline to accept instructions to change standing orders to certain types of account other than Current Accounts</p><p>The bank will not undertake NOTE: to:- make any reference to Value Added Tax or pay a stated sum plus V.A.T, or other indeterminate a) element b) advise remitter's address to beneficiary c) advise beneficiary of inability to pay d) request beneficiary's banker to advise beneficiary of receipt accept instructions to pay as soon after the specified date as there are funds to meet the payment, if e) funds not available on the specified date.</p><p>Payments may take 3 working days or more to reach the beneficiary's account.
