Paypal is the easiest and safest method.  In this case there is almost no chance of any problems.  Personally i've bee using paypal for years with no issues

Unless of course Paypal have suspended your account for no apparent reason, and don't respond to emails asking why! Not only has this happened to me, it's happened to many others - see Google.

I hope NoChex will also be offered as an option?

BTW, I'm coming from the South West, possibly coming in via Paddington. Anyone know the best time to arrive to catch the tube to Piccadilly (assuming the tube is running that day). There don't seem to be any websites about to book the entire journey - most are geared up for just the national rail network.

I'll be coming into paddington too... The tube runs every 3-5 minutes at that kinda time of day, get the Bakerloo line (one of the only lines i believe hasnt been affected, but i may be wrong) south to Piccadilly circus, then use the map earlier on in this post to get there (you'll end up walking past a boots and burger king).

If it starts at 12, then ill get the 10:30 train from swindon, arriving at 11:30 - 15 minute tube journey to Piccadilly Circus, then a 10 min max. walk to Microsoft's Building

Btw, tfl.gov.uk is your best friend Its journey planner is amazing, especially as we're all windows mobile folk - its worth saving it as a favourite

Another REALLY handy thing to take a look at is: http://map.tfl.gov.u...sp?area=central - It shows the parts of the tube which is closed, live. So check that just before you go, and you should be ok

Hi Guys...

Just a quick note...

I no longer use a SmartPhone (Windows one that is) just now.

But as a long time ex user, if I pinch back my son's C500 I gave him, for the day, and maybe bring our lass down for the social side of things, will you welcome me back to the fold for the day?

Especially as the new Motorola 'Q' HAS TO BE my Nokia 6680 replacement come next year!

Mmmm?

shadamehr: that should be fine.

To everyone worried about Paypal: you don't need to be signed up to make payments, and i remove money from my paypal account as soon as its in there, so theres little chance of paypal taking anything

[JohnD]

Yay! I'm in!

Don't forget people, the only criteria for registering is that you're a MoDaCo member.  We'd hope that if you aren't currently a WM user, turning up and participating would make you reconsider...

They still stop me from doing this. Their systems are designed to stop multiple signups, and any payments made using a particular card or address will not be allowed. My card cannot be used through Paypal as it is tied in to the suspended account.

As far as I'm aware, it's only Nochex that allow people who are not customers of them to make payment. Paypal do not make it obvious if they do

It looks like if Paypal is the only method of payment available, then I might have to give this a miss. Which is a shame as I was looking forward to this.

[Monolithix]

I'll look into other methods of payment...

[uzi_999]

paying by cheque is a possibility.. but it might be too time consuming for the account holder it is paid to... we can all post cheques to someplace and they be cashed into some account or sumthing.. is it a decent idea??

[Monolithix]

Logisitally its a pain.  The preferred method really is paypal.  I'll give it some thought though and let everyone know over the weekend how its going to work

[uzi_999]

has anyone had a look at mcwarre's sig???
if not then i suggest going back to the first page of this topic and having a look.

Hi,

Just wondering if you have sent out the notifications, so that we can pay our £10 for the event in London.  The reason I ask is that I applied a few days ago and have not got an email yet, and am a little concerned now that you have closed your registration page.

Thanks

Paul
