Any Membership Fee that is paid on or after the 10^th day of the month for which it was due (the due date being on or before the 5^th) will attract an immediate 5% Late Fee charge. This 5% late fee will be applied monthly until the debt is settled.  By way of an example see the following:

1. Invoice for e.g. £10,000 on 28th May for:
2. a. £50 of disbursements for the month of May
3. b. £9,950 membership fee for the month of June
4. Date of payment would be no later than the 5th June
5. If by 10th June the £10,000 has not been paid, there would be an immediate 5% Late Fee charged, so the bill would be £10,500.  On the 10th July, if the £10,500 due has not been paid then there would be an additional 0.5% charged on aggregate of (i) the £10,500 due and (ii) the new invoice due for July and disbursements for June.

Yes, should you require to set up your own personal account in order to charge back from the café and honesty bar, you can do so by informing reception. The credit facility will be auto charged on the 1st of the month, meaning no need to pay until pay day.
