The third option is the most convenient for me but, for those with an
inherent dislike of bank standing orders, the seccnd should be suitable.
I shall of course be more than happy if vyou prefer the first option to
either of
the other

Enclosed with this letter vou will find a copy of the new form of
standing order for those wishing to take up the third eption. This
provides EITHER for a single payment on 1 October OR for an instalment
plan of four egual payments on 1 QOctober, 1 January, 1 fApril and t June.
This has the merit of making life simpler for those banks that still
cannot cope with the instalment plan under the form currently in use. By
way of explanation for those preferring the instalment plan, the first 1
June paymenit under the order will he the first instalmeni of your 19398/99
subscription which, for 13387/38 only, will be covered by your cheque for
£20. The standing order is unlimited in time but can be cancelled by you
by giving appropriate instructions to your bank at any time, for instance
if
you resign
from
the Choir.
Special subscription arrangements will continue to apply to students in
full time education or others who have particular problems about payment.
If you consider that you fall into this category then give me a ring.
The 1997/898 budget has heen prepared on the basis that we will increase
the number of members who COVENANT their subscriptions. The higher
subscription rate makes this even more beneficlal to the Choir. I would
invite those of you whe do naot at present covenant your subscription to
have a word with me about covenanting future payments. It is a very
painless way of helping the Choir to raise its income level.
