All come on platters to share served at tables.

PAYMENT (for new people signing up and those who have not yet paid)

IF YOU HAVE PAYPAL

  • Pls send £27.08 (NOT US Dollars which is the default) to countessdrac at gmail dot com. This is £26 + 3.4% plus £0.20 GBP which is what I will be charged to use this.
  • Ensure you put your MN posting name in there somewhere so I know who it is from.
  • Pls post on here to say you have paid and post your choice of Pudding (choices at bottom of this post) at the same time.

IF YOU HAVE A BANK A/C FROM WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A DIRECT TRANSFER EG INTERNET OR TELEPHONE BANKING

  • Pls email me at countessdrac at gmail dot com, I will send you sort code and a/c no which is all you need to make a transfer.
  • Pls post on here to say you have paid when you make the transfer and post your choice of Pudding (choices at bottom of this post) at the same time.
  • Pls ensure you tell me the name of the bank a/c that you are transferring from so I can identify your payment. If you are transferring from Halifax pls tell me as I don't get ANY details of who the payment is from, so will need to look out for your payment.
