Perplexing Payment Puzzles

To provide a Reservation Confirmation please include a meaningful payment reference. A name is the minimum reference required but the following example is preferred:

Name initials and visit date (e.g., John Smith and 15 May becomes JS 15-05)

Payment references showing “Various” or “Membership” or “Lake 3” is not helpful as we have no visitors with these names; it is a unique identifier that is required.

When receiving payments without any way of identifying “what it is for” or “who it is from” we cannot provide a Reservation Confirmation with the result your visit may not be possible – see below the Manor Fisheries website T’s & C’s final point:

Lost and Found
