Thanks for keeping us up to date, Minty. Perhaps the shakedown flights will precipitate an influx to 558's coffers.

I was going to say pretty much what RLN has and really hope this is the case. She is certainly worth it.

Thanks for the updates Minty, it is very much appreciated ;)

So £30K down on the month - means more to raise in May but I actually don't think that's a bad total thus far at all.

I pulled together the VTTS Club AGM booklet a couple of weeks ago: the position in early May last year was £160k required to get into the season - this year it's £100k with the new fundraising push just launched, so looking much better IMO.

Gully will the income from the latest raffle be counted toward that total? or is the raffle income ring fenced for something else?

My understanding is that the raffle income will be set against the appeal target, as will revenue from the other fundraising initiatives promoted by the recent mailing.
