Payment by 'Bank branch direct transfer'

Payment by Cheque

• Key point: payee must be 'Crofton Bowling Club', all of which must be written within the space defined, in the first line of the cheque
  • Banks now operate a strict policy for cheque acceptance regarding accuracy of account name as the payee on a cheque. Correspondingly, other potentially similar payee names (such as 'Crofton BC', 'Crofton Bowls Club') will continue to be rejected by the bank, thus rendering such a cheque void. In this circumstance, the cheque would be returned as 'refer-to-drawer', with potential charges to the cheque payer, and the club would deem the situation as 'no payment received'.
• Please see below for procedure details for payment by cheque.

Payment in Cash

• Do not mail cash
• The only £10 or £5 notes now accepted are the polymer ones
  • the previous linen/paper £10 & £5 notes are no longer legal tender
• Please see below for procedure details for submitting cash

The procedure for each type of payment is provided below. Click/tap the appropriate payment method document for details.

Each of the below 'payment procedure' documents is password-protected. Members requiring a password reminder should contact the Assistant Secretary.
