There are some pre-payment costs the Reunion organisers need to collect as part of your registration. A Reunion bank account has been set up by one of the organisers, for direct bank transfer payments. Account details are as follows:

Account Name: Marie Taylor

The Alumni and Development Office is assisting with collecting registration information via this website on behalf of the Reunion Organising Committee. The Committee will therefore receive a copy of your registration information provided, including your contact details and payment information. Lincoln University will not be collecting money as payment is managed separately by the Reunion Organising Committee, and will go directly into a Reunion Bank Account as set out below.
