We have opened a new bank account for Central (as our old bank account now requires a phone-app based online security process, but the app has dreadful reviews and their phone customer services line usually has a long queue). This account should hopefully pass all checks for online banking, which the old one didn’t always. Please could anyone who pays money to the club by BACS update their records with the new bank details:

Lloyds account, sort code 30-54-66, account number 34880160

PayPal payments will of course be unaffected (so can still be sent to paypal@trecgroup.co.uk if being sent direct, as well as via the Store), as I have updated the necessary details my end.

On the subject of PayPal, I would like to make a request – please send payments over to us in the smallest number of transactions that you can. PayPal charge fees (they are as low as we can get them, as we are a registered charity) made up of a transaction fee and a percentage of the payment amount. Putting a membership fee and an event entry together means they are paid for together and so only one transaction fee is incurred. The amounts are small but they add up with possibly £20-30 unnecessarily going to PayPal each year.

If you have any problems or queries about either of the above please contact me via central@trecgroup.co.uk. Many thanks, Helen
