Direct Debit System. There are still some members who have not returned the Direct Debit form I sent out in September. It seems likely that some of the letters have gone astray so if YOU have not had a letter from me (Andrew) asking you to complete a form and return it in the stamped addressed envelope provided PLEASE contact me as soon as possible! If you have received the letter but still not returned your direct debit form , please do so ASAP. If there is a problem let either Andrew or myself know. Thanks to all those so far who have sent their form in promptly. Certain members have still not cancelled their standing order with Natwest. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Boathouse Appeal - new on-line donation facility! |
