The purpose of this form is to allow the executive committee to gauge interest in particular events as to then be able to source venue options and design the events accordingly.
Your responses here do not form any form of commitment or contract. Only once the date is confirmed, the event has been structured and finally agreed will you then have the option to formally commit. You can also change your mind if you tick “no” now and then your remit or budget changes.
For each event, a contract will be sent to then be returned by you to confirm commitment. The terms for each event will be in that contract.
We do not aim to make a profit out of the events and the price ensures we can organise viable events.
As these events are deemed as corporate entertainment, we are unable to claim back VAT therefore it will be added to all invoices. The place of supply and enjoyment of the service is in the UK and under Section 9 of VAT Notice 741A the place of Supply is deemed as being in the UK. You can claim back VAT through your head offices or normal UK based procedures however please note the amount will be applied to all invoices regardless of address.
In all cases the option to bring a partner is only permitted once all members have had a chance to commit before a deadline. The cost for a partner to attend is normally the same cost. This must be paid via the member – as a membership organisation it confuses our tax status negatively if we receive payments from other parties. The terms will be detailed in future contracts.
Thank you for your responses.
