Payment instructions
We are very pleased to accept payment for our courses, events and membership subscriptions in a variety of methods, to suit the varying needs of our members.
If you are able to pay online, that’s our preferred method because it helps us to keep our costs low, but read on for all your options.
As a non-profit group, and in order to minimise our costs, we really appreciate being paid online via Paypal. Note that it isn’t essential to have a Paypal account to use this payment method, you can charge to a debit card or credit card. Paying online is not only easier for us to administer, but your booking/transaction will also be confirmed immediately
If you cannot pay online then we also accept “offline” payments either by cheque or bank transfer directly into the SFTG Lloyds bank account or contact the treasurer and pay by card over the phone or via an invoice.
Please note that if you pay offline for a course, the confirmation process is slower and may result in your booking not being accepted should the course become full during the administration process.
If you are a member, remember to log in to the website with your SFTG username and password in order to get the discounted course fee rate.
To reserve places at an organised event in the calendar, select the quantity and type of tickets you want.
Then, to confirm your booking, for online payment press the “Buy Now” button or for offline payment the white “pay by cheque/bank transfer” button.

The PayPal process allows payments from your credit/debit card or, should you have one, from an existing PayPal account. More information is available at www.paypal.com/uk
