4. How Booking Works
Each month you will receive an email with a Booking Form for the next event which is usually 3 months ahead. From time to time a ‘Special’ Booking Form will be sent where, to obtain seats, we have to reserve and pay well in advance.
Members have the option of:-
a) Emailing the relevant booking information to Judy Jones, i.e.
Name
Postcode
No of seats required for members
Stop no.
b) posting a completed booking form to Tony King, or
c) depositing a booking form in one of the RSTC postboxes, which are inside the Bradbury Centre and outside the Methodist Church in Rose Street.
d) Email and postal addresses are shown on the booking form.
Payment
We ask for payment, either by bank transfer (preferred) or by cheque, at the time of booking. The amount for each event is shown on the booking form, as are the bank details.
Booking confirmations
Confirmation of your booking will be sent out after the closing date, either by email or post.
Please include a Stamped Addressed Envelope if you would like your booking confirmation posted to you.
Guest seats can be requested, and these will be allocated if there any places available after members have booked. Do not pay for guest places until you have been contacted to say that a space is available.
Please note that merely doing a bank transfer for the cost of the event does not constitute a booking! Please make sure you always send a completed copy of the booking form or the booking information to the appropriate Committee member.
