You asked for it, so here it is… we’re very pleased to announce that we will now be taking card payments at all screenings starting from this week onwards!
From this week, the ANU Film Group will be introducing an EFTPOS service in an effort to make joining up and paying for membership fees easier for our members. In addition to our usual cash payment option, we will now also be able to take Visa, Mastercard, and EFTPOS payments at the door for the very first time.
In order to offset the costs associated with providing this service, and to keep membership costs down, all card payments will incur a 2.9% surcharge.
This service will be available throughout Semester Two 2015 strictly on a trial basis, and will be reviewed at the end of the year.
