Donations to the club.

Martin F · 18th February 2007, 10:56 PM

Well some of you may have noticed the 'Donate' option appear on the navbar over the last couple of days, also it is available from the 'Quick Links' option.

As you all know the club is currently free of charge to join and to benefit from. Any running costs tend to come out of a few volunteers own pockets, traders fees and the occasional raffles we have held. In the past we have come up against cash flow obstacles where we just don't always have enough cash in the pot to do what we want, so we decided to add a donation system to the forum.

We have some expenditures coming up in the next month or so, new gazebo, window stickers, new banner and also hoping to organise t-shirts and possibly other merchandise and of course all this costs money. Currently the pot is not big enough to cover all these expenses.

So at this moment in time we'd welcome any donations people feel like making as it will help us to grow the club and make sure those of us attending JAE don't get wet ! ! !

All donations are gratefully received however big or small, there is no upper or lower (well £1...LOL) limit and they all go direct into the club Paypal account. You do not actually need your own Paypal account to donate, just click the Donate link above and follow the instructions.

For all those people who are shy about their massive wealth and generosity, there is actually an option in your control panel to hide your donated amount from other members. User Cp -> Edit Options -> My Donor Status.

On behalf of the other staff members I thank you in advance for any donations you do make, and we will ensure that it is you people who reap the benefit.

Thanks to all those who have donated.

Personally i'm really pleased with the reaction to this (which doesn't mean stop

), we have a lot of ideas in the melting pot at the moment and it looks like we will be able to make some of them a reality.
