I'd just like to endorse everything Bod has said. The WMUK board are in the process of doing the bits only we can do (approving the fundraising agreement with the WMF, for example) but it would be really helpful if other UK Wikimedians (members of the chapter or not, although if not, you really should join!) could help out with the rest of the work. Coming up with good banners is a very big part of that. It seems very likely that we'll be able to have separate banners for different countries this fundraiser, so try and come up with messages that will really appeal to UK donors. Thanks!

Hello,
Just thought I'd mention, since I hadn't seen anything on this list yet, that 2010 Fundraising plans are being made. I assume some of you will want to get involved since the Chapter stands to raise some money too.
Here's the main page on Meta:

As always, banners will be a key fundraising device, so do comment on them.

I actually find donor comments more compelling and I'm in the process of pulling out comments from the donation logs. You can help; please see the To Do list here:

...and get involved.
