Foreign Currency Payment

It is now possible to pay the Society by using PAYPAL. You have to register with Paypal.com and then instruct Paypal to make a £ sterling payment to: woodengravers@hotmail.com

Paypal will charge your nominated credit card or account in your local currency.

We do not accept cheques denominated in currencies other than sterling. The costs of presenting them to the bank are prohibitive, and some are not accepted at all. This costs us a lot of money each year. Paypal is a simple and secure system for those who use the internet.
