AlanChatterton Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 There is something symbolic about writing a cheque and posting it to Chinn-Towers, its like a ritual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I say bring back the route from 2006 that had us driving through central London to avoid queues on the M25. That was err fun.. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I know we can do it using personal banking but it represents a clear risk to the club to have funds sloshing around outside of Club Triumph Ltd - I would not be happy to take that risk - RBRR is non-trivial amounts, we get upto 275 people at £100 each - that's over £25k going through a personal account. That sort of thing attracts tax interest.Now I'm not going to waltz off with £25k but say my bank account gets hacked and the cash disappears, or I lapse into my cider dependency days - the Club could falter as a result.Even online banking isn't the only answer - image having to check for funds appearing in an account for 130 entries, some not appearing for days - bit of a nightmare At least with cheques we can physically see it's paid - the number of rubber cheques is very small, we used to get the odd one but in recent years it's not been an issue.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I didn't suggest it went into a personal account! It could be paid directly into the CT account, and if that had E-banking then periodically someone could check from the club. Surely less effort than sorting huge piles of cheques etc?Anyway, it makes no real difference to me about entering an event. If the payment method upsets anyone that much they clearly can't be serious about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Clearly if we ever went to online entry payments these would need to be into a CT account. However, I would strongly advise sticking to cheques for as long as we can. Sue and I manage a block of just 30 flats. This involves collecting insurance once a year and maintenance charges twice. About half the leaseholders choose to pay by direct transfer and despite repeated exhortations we always get one or two payments coming in that are not identified, involving several phone calls to sort. With the number of individual payments we could expect for an RBRR I can confidently predict a nightmare!Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve28 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Im happy to go with whatever the unpaid staff of this club chose to do to make things easier for them, and as been said earlier getting the cheque book out is part of the event.

Not something I would care to repeat, there's a battery box for a large battery going into the boot soon, with heavy duty cabling back to the Starter / alternator etc, and a new larger alternator. I need the space under the bonnet for an air intake duct to the airbox and Jenvey throttle bodies 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm definitely thinking that I may possibly put an entry in at some time in the future. I need to speak to my co-driver first though, I wouldn't want to waste Jason's time by entering details that are only going to change later.K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Unfortunately I can't work on the entry list on my work laptop as the security settings prevent me getting to Google Drive or my personal email account. Through a little lateral thinking I can however share the bare bones entry list. This was updated yesterday with all the forms I'd received, there may be more on the door mat today I'll be at the NEC on Saturday if anyone wants to hand me an entry form.Entry Number Entrant Name1 Carl Sharespeare2 Mark Bulford3 Mike Weaver4 Roger Keys5 Francis Moll6 Andrew Moll7 Andy Roberts8 Dave Ashe9 Ashley Mills10 Danny Baker11 James Cooper12 Doug Thompson13 Jason Chinn14 Tim Bancroft15 Julian Wadsworth16 Juan Salinas17 Rob Pearce18 Jonathan Clegg19 Chris Davison20 Nicholas Marston21 Dave Maton22 Steve Povey23 Kevin Cain24 Steve Radley25 Chris Allen26 Dave Allen27 David Jackson28 Floyd Pattie29 Dave Langrick30 Ted Taylor31 Lester French32 Antony Campion33 Andy Cook34 Dave Kirk35 Andrew Johnson36 Mike Alldridge37 Reg Barton38 Roy Lacey39 David Aspinall40 Alan Chatterton41 Craig Bennett42 Tim Hunt43 Wayne Scott44 Jonathan Pryce45 Clive Senior46 Sean Bradley47 Aleksandar Krstenic48 Colin Radford49 Simon Long50 Richard Smith51 Patrick McNaught52 Dale Barker53 Chris Andrews54 Jonathan Harley55 Alistair Vincent56 Dave Harvey57 Dave Walker58 Tom Key59 Andrew Pearce60 Lawrence Jones61 Karen Whiting62 Anthony Quick63 Andrew Howorth64 Robert Horner65 Keith George66 Stewart Marsden67 Mark Bland68 Nick Cahill69 Yossarian Gay70 Tom Overton71 Colin Wake72 Peter Fern73 Matthew Richardson74 Steven Burrows75 Howard Hayes76 Jon Fallowell77 Dave Nix78 Anthony Davies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I see I'm in at entry 42, my guess of number 50 wasn't so far off the mark! Thanks for the early heads up Jason, great to see some new names I don't recognise. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
