Dear Friends I know that this subject has come up in the past, but I wondered whether the discussions had moved on and whether anyone has actually gone ahead to use a card payment system. Friends in Lancaster are considering the benefits vs costs, but at the moment the discussion is only about donations. I know that a lot of our building users would really welcome the option of paying by card. Although I doubt having a card reader would increase our income from room hire, it would definitely be a positive change in terms of the users' experience. I'd particularly welcome comments from Friends and Meetings who are using a card payment system already, but any other observations or comments would also be really helpful. I have a Finance Committee meeting tonight (Tuesday 26th) (my first one since arriving here six months ago!), and have just been told ten minutes ago that this is an item we will be considering. I'm sure this is just the beginning of the conversations here, so any comments would be welcome, whenever you have the chance.
