Too bad these things can't be corrected... perhaps file a bug report with romancart.co.uk ?! >> * Both invoice and confirmations show the PyCon UK Society >> as contractual partner - shouldn't this be the EuroPython >> Society ? > > No. The PyCon Uk Society is the legal entity running EuroPython 2010 > (and 2009).

Something I'd like to know: When using bank transfer and doing a standard EU EUR transfer, there are no charges on my side of the transaction. Does your bank charge you for the transfer, currency conversion, etc ? I know that in Germany banks don't charge extra, but in the UK that may be different.
