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
