Hi, I did manage to speak to a nice chap at the events office who said that they would refund me via postal order /cheque. My credit card company advised me that they shouldnot be doing this and have to refund the card. So I asked the credit card company to persue the refund as opposed to me waiting any longer for a payment from the Events Office. I did manage to get a refund via my credit card company who I guess are now trying to get the refund from Mr S Boak and Co.
I think that people have to speak to someone in the events office to push them into puting you on the next payment date for the postal order/ cheque run - as I was told.
Good Luck
