Although we have managed to do an great deal without it, sadly and extremely annoyingly it does indeed feel that this is very much our sole target to achieve!

You can believe that the minute we are able to (finally!) accept payments we will be making a big song and dance about it and contacting everyone interested in being a member and donating to the cause. It has kept so many additional projects, especially those which need seed money, from starting that we are like cars burning rubber at the start of a drag strip.
