We all know this, but it's the principle of the thing, they should be able to acknowledge payees within a couple of days.

Just spoke to Hawca. As he mentioned, paypal is messing about and won't allow emails to be sent, so make sure he has your email if you want the discount code! I suggest PMing on here.

Merry Christmas all!

Could be related... I have noticed that PayPal for some reason doesn't always send you an email notification re every payment, can mean you miss payments if you rely on the email account alone. Perhaps different types of payment trigger different notifications. Guess the best thing for a TO is to check PayPal incoming payments couple of times a week. Guess it does punters no harm to also email thenafchampionshipAT address as well as sending the PayPal.

Looking forward to this tourney and it's not even 2017!! :)

As a reminder.

Please please. Send email addresses (PayPal does not give me it any more)
NAF name
NAF number.

Also please accept apologies if you've been missed on the list. A polite PM will sort this. My fiancée has broken her foot and we have a two year old to contend with along with it being Christmas. And I am but one man :-)

I was unaware of this. Please let me know if you have paid and not on the list.

As you can appreciate the NAF PayPal AFC deals with not just nafc payments but every incoming and out going payment world wide. So I avoid it as much as possible lol.

I rely heavily on the nafc email.

It's been a week since I paid and have no email acknowledgement or added to the list, I am obviously not the only one, if we can't get into the hotel I propose we bill the NAF for any additional costs incurred.
Hi


Can I firstly apologise for the delay, Paypal has changed the way it notify me, it no longer tells me the email or who from, and it stacks notifications with other payments. This is out of my control.


I do not appreciate the manor of this post on TFF. as you know and clearly pointed out were nearing Christmas for every one. your also aware of the magnitude of the task in trying to organise this event and the change (with no notice) in how paypal works did not help the issue. As ive said many times a simple PM to me would solve this issue over, were a volunteer organisation not a business so looking to 'Bill' the naf is unlikely to go far. However if you feel you can help out in anyway rather that criticise please offer the help.

Much appreciated, and Happy Christmas and good will to you over this festive season :)

email sent and added to the list.

Please check your on the list guys, if your not a polite message or email to myself with the date you paid and this will be sorted ASAP.

as mentioned before Paypal has changed the way it notifys and this is causing problems out of my control and for this i apologise.

Hi Andy, big love to you for all you do to make this event what it is... Could the NAFC use a different PayPal account from the main NAF account, wouldn't that make accountability easier?? I assume the payments are used to finance the venue, prizes Ect. With the remainder ( if any) being moved to the NAF main account after the event?

That would also enable a separate financial statement to be produced should members like to see the logistics of the event.

Just my thoughts, as said, don't want to create work and big respect to you and the organisers.

The problem came with receiving 7 payments the same day. It showed 1 notification on email yet had 7 layers as it lumped them together. The coach at the top got their name on the list. The others were missed. Now I know about this all is good.

I run my own excel statement so Paul G can cross reference my calculations.

Other options I will discuss with him in the new year.

Thanks for to ideas.

If you mean that Ruth would be very capable of helping, she's handled entries for some pretty large tournaments in the past you know, and accommodation at a few.
She works 2 jobs, but I think she'd be willing to help if you think you need it.
