Bank transfers: We do NOT recommend the use of bank transfers. A bank transfer handling charge of 40 UK Pounds will be added if you intend
to pay by bank transfer. You must request a pro-forma invoice first by completing the registration form and ticking
the box "invoice before payment". We will then send
you a pro-forma invoice with our bank details. Our bank details have changed from previous years.
Please note that a bank transfer must be made in full without
any deductions for bank charges (neither domestic nor foreign charges). Upon receipt of your transfer we will
send you a full invoice as confirmation of
your registration. We cannot issue full invoices before payment. Please note that bank transfers often
take a very long time. If you choose to
pay a particular fee level that is time-restricted (for example 245 pounds which is valid until 1 Dec) your bank transfer
must reach our accounts before this date. Should it reach our accounts after this date, we will request that you
pay the difference.
