Donations - 2024 forum operating costs

[Admin]

It's time for me to pass the hat round for donations to meet this year's operating costs. I will put up a 'Donate' button on Friday 15 March.

I was blown away by the response again last year, for which my sincere thanks. A total of GBP 445.91 was raised by 33 members after PayPal fees.

I estimate that around GBP 300 is needed to cover the cost of hosting; forum software updates & backup storage for 2024. This is less than previous years after reducing the applications required and using cheaper storage. As before, I will take down the button once the target is met.

You don't need a PayPal account to donate but if you'd rather not use that payment facility please message me - I can provide bank account details.

Yep - PayPal will convert many currencies albeit at a cost and Euro is one of 'em.
Or I can provide bank account IBAN info if you message me.
