WBMC Codes for Bank Reference

More and more of the clubs activities mean that club members are paying directly into our bank account. This has the potential for payments not to be recognised causing organisers and the Treasurer having a harder job trying to decipher who has paid and what for. To make the payments easier to allocate to the correct activity can we ask that all members use the code system below please. 

Further codes can be set up by the Organisers for any other Events but the main ones are listed below.  Thanks for your help in this.

eg. for Coach                                      CF=Coach Fee - 05=Month then your Initial & Surname.
