Morning all.

It;’s that time of year agin, when Heart asks us for money to continue hosting the forum.

Domain name renewal (2 years) is £19.98 + £3.99 vat = £23.97. Hosting is £155.88 + £31.18 vat = £187.06.  Total that will be needed is £211.03, by end of August.

Twi options: as with previous years we can all chip in towards the costs. If we assume 12 contributors it’ll work out at £17.60 per person.

The other option is we simply cancel the thing.

I do think we provide a useful and sometimes valuable resource for the community. and with Steve’s newsround I’d be sorry to lose it.  However, as with all such endeavours, the final word lies with you.

If you wish to contribute you’ll have access to topics that are currently hidden and secure.

Thanks everyone..
Ian

Hi. I still enjoy the forum and am happy to give around £20 to keep it running for another year.
Will the bank transfer details be the same as last year?
Thanks

Count me in too.       Is it still ok to drop the cash off at the St Georges?

I will get back to you on that one. But almost certainly.

Thanks to everyone for your offers. As has been suggested if we set this year's contribution at £20.00 I will make up the shortfall.

Details are as follows:

1. By hand / cash:

This should be left in a sealed envelope, marked "FAO Sian - Manager Food and Beverages" and handed into reception at the St George hotel. Please include a note showing your name (forum name is fine).

2. By direct bank transfer: your online banking service will have a record of the a/c no you used last year, which hasn't changed, and the name of the recipient. Please send me a personal message if you cannot locate any of the information.

Once again many thanks to all who are contributing:
