If entrants have difficulty making payment by either of the above methods, the Fellowship are this year trialling payment by PayPal (below) as a back-up alternative. Payment by this method is expensive as we have now discovered it costs the Fellowship around 15% of the transaction value, so we would ask you to bear this in mind please before ‘pressing the button’.
