Parking:

Do hotels have parking for personal or hired cars?

Hotels normally have parking for their guests, but you can email your hotel or check on their website.

Is there parking at the Town Hall where we are having services?

There is no large single car park for the Hall but plenty of on street parking, especially down side streets. If you are staying a hotel nearby it would probably be easier for you to leave your car in the hotel car park and walk. There are a few parking spots for those with special needs. Please email feast2009@ucg.org.uk if you qualify for this or apply at the registration desk for available places outside the Town Hall.

Registration funds:

For some reason the web site does not accept my registration funds. As you have difficulty with handling US$ checks what else can I do?

We have set up a temporary web page at www.ucg.org.uk/donate.html. This has direct links to our accounts on the secure web sites Charity-Choice and Paypal, where you can choose to send funds using several types of credit card.

Please remember there are extra precautions with credit card security, so when making your payment:
(1) the address given must be the same as where your credit card account is sent to you
(2) the name must be as printed on the card.

If you choose Paypal, you need a Paypal account yourself. It is easy to create one on the same page. In the final section after entering your details there is a box for describing the funds, add "Feast 2009" as a description.

Both sites should send you an email if the transaction is successful - providing you entered your email address accurately. If you also let us know and we will check that the funds then come through safely to the Feast account.
