LEVERSTOCK GREEN CC took a technology-based step forward this evening with the advent of Chip & PIN transactions.

With necessary telecomms now installed, LGCC can now accept payments by card (minimum spend and processing fee applies) as well as the usual cash tendered over the bar.

So no longer the return visit to Leverstock's village shops to withdraw some more cash. Now you can worry about how much you spent on the club's exceptionally good-value liquid refreshments during the morning after your evening at The Green.
