HOW TO USE PAYPAL

1) Click the “Add to Cart” button of the payment option that you choose (Full Price with Voucher, or Full Price). Depending on your browser, this will either open a new payment page which will look just like this page, but without the surrounding graphics, or take you directly to the PayPal Shopping Cart.

2) If you are taken to the payment page, click the “Add to Cart” button of the payment option that you choose (Full Price with Voucher or Full Price).

3) You will now be at the secure PayPal page (Shopping Cart). If you are buying more than one ticket, change the ‘Quantity’ value to reflect this and click the ‘Update Cart’ button. The total price will change to reflect your purchase. To buy another ticket of a different value, click ‘Continue Shopping’. This will return you to the payment page, where you can choose another ticket of a different value with the ‘Add to Cart’ button. This will again take you to the secure PayPal page, and the new ticket will be shown in the total. If you make a mistake, tick the ‘Remove’ button, click ‘Update Cart’. This will clear the purchases. Click ‘Continue Shopping’ to return to the Payment page to start the process again.

4) Click ‘Proceed to Checkout’. If you already have a PayPal account, login to finalize payment in the normal way. If not, look down the page to the phrase “Don't have a PayPal account?”. Click the ‘Continue’ link next to the phrase. This will take you to a secure payment form where you can use a credit card to pay, or pay from a bank account.

REFUNDS POLICY

The committee has decided that the following policy now applies:

1) During the week prior to the Joining, refunds will have a deduction of $250, being $50 administrative costs and $200 to cover pre-paid expenses. Numbers are confirmed for food and accommodation one week before the event, and costs are paid up-front. If cancellations occur, these costs have been already been paid and need to be covered.

2) There are no refunds during the Joining. This is because any cancellation will have denied a full-fee payer the chance to attend. If an attendee needs to leave the Joining during the event, they may request a refund (less $250 as above) from the committee. This request will be considered at the first committee meeting AFTER the Joining. All refunds will be considered on compassionate grounds only. I hate to be a bastard about it, so I won’t, but the committee’s decision is final.
