FAST TRACK SYSTEM FOR MEMBERSHIP
|
Posted: 13th June 2011
|
|
As of 7th June, 2011, CHAPS(UK) has introduced a Fast Track system,
whereby the applicant can pay an extra fee of £50.00 inclusive of VAT
for a guaranteed 48-hour (working days) turnaround. This fee is in
addition to the membership/registration fees. This system will only
apply to instant payments, and is totally dependent on the office
being open. The Admin office is closed weekends, bank holidays
and public holidays, as well as for attendance at various meetings,
functions and, of course, personal holidays. So, if using Fast
Track, checks must be made to make sure that the office is open –
there is no point in applying if the office is closed. This
sounds a bit cumbersome, but it is the precise reason why the notifications
are given on each and every application form: to allow for times
when the Admin office is not open. Acceptance of applications will
also be dependent on the forms
being completed correctly in full, and the correct fees forwarded.

PAYMENT FOR SHOWS - IMPORTANT CHANGE
|
Posted: 4th March 2011
|
Please note that due to a change in all of the banks' systems,
CHAPS (UK) will ONLY ACCEPT CASH WHEN PAYING FOR ENTRIES ON THE DAY
at all regional shows and the championship show.
NO CHEQUES WILL BE ACCEPTED ON SHOW DAYS WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
Cheques will be accepted for pre-entries by close of entry date.

PASSPORTS
|
Posted: 12 January 2011
|
|
Please be aware that all offices closed
down for the Xmas and New Year holidays. Any passport
applications received during December will be disrupted
by this closure, as well as the erratic post in
December due to the very bad weather. In general,
a 6 week turn around is quoted for passports,
but these two factors will obviously have a
temporary effect on this timing.
Thank you for your patience
