ONLINE PAYMENTS |
For Blewbury Bridge Club sessions on Realbridge, payments should be made directly to the Club’s bank account. Naturally, you will not need to pay for each session separately, but will be able to pay a lump sum (say £5, £10 or £20 for instance) as a credit which will gradually deplete as you play sessions.
Table money will be £1.50 per session for Realbridge. We will monitor funds received against sessions paid regularly.
Note that table money for our F2F sessions, both Tuesdays and Fridays, is collected in the same way, at £2.50 per session.
The club's bank account details are as follows
Account name : Blewbury Bridge Club
Sort Code : 40 19 35
Account number : 21305107
It is also necessary to use a reference with the payment that identifies who you are and the purpose of the payment, to distinguish from receipts from other Members or from yourself for other purposes such as subscriptions. So, in the 'reference' line of your BACS transfer, please enter the following
First two characters: TM
Next six characters: Membership number – your EBU number
Final characters: Your surname (or as many letters at the start of your surname that will fit in the remainder of the bank’s reference)
Please leave spaces between these three pieces of information.
Example: TM 405145 Allen will be the reference for me.
Single payments to cover both Blewbury F2F and Realbridge sessions are acceptable.
If you are making transfers from the same bank account to cover more than one Member, please make separate transfers with the relevant Member number reference and surname.
If anyone is unable to use this type of payment method, please contact me, the Chairman, and we can make alternative arrangements.

Click on 'Account' in the top right corner, select 'My Details', and then in the 'Account Settings' section of the page, under the 'Magazine/Diary Preference' option use the drop down list to choose your preferred setting.
