Donations for LaverdaForum operating costs 2022

[Admin]

It's coming up to the time for me to pass the hat round for donations to meet this year's operating costs. I was blown away by the support and rapid response last year, for which I repeat my sincere thanks. A total of GBP 602.99 was raised by 42 members after PayPal fees. This covered the cost of hosting, the new forum software licence plus associated tech support tools and backup storage.

Thanks to the generosity of Jo & Thomas, I already have a significant contribution towards this year's costs on the back of their calendar sales.

In response to several southern hemisphere users who missed out on the opportunity last year because I took down the donate button once that target had been met, I will enable the facility around midnight GMT. Hopefully this will ensure that you don't feel left out this year!

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

I don't need to think about it to donate. It is done.

Nice work, I’m a lot more confident Laverdista with the forum, than without it

 

[Admin]

Thanks folks for the kind words. Once again you've quickly hit the projected target so I've taken the Donate button down. I'll be sending individual email acknowledgements later today.

A total of GBP 412.32 has been raised - the amount needed is reduced this year because the software licence cost was a one-off last year - we now only pay for annual support/updates.

In this case, late bird. No Paypal when I went to bed last night and I went quite late.

That wasn't meant as a criticism Paul, just a little teasing....

Thanks to everyone who contributed this year. This is a fine place - full of good folk and good bikes. Long may it last.

As ever Rob - thanks to you for all your admin effort.

I suspect that it's to make the Australians pay. We're all fast asleep when the Paypal button appears.

Yeah the Aussies mssed last year. They woke up and couldn't donate. So pretty cool it was flipped this year and whilst Euros were sleeping the Aussies were donating.

Sharing the love.

Maybe it's just that you're too slow! I seem to remember rumors from the 2019 BFN team about this ...
