I'm still waiting for money to be taken from the small standing order that I posted to start in mid April.

Unless of course the letter never arrived. Who do I need to speak to?

Cheque just gone in the post from me, too, today from a couple of small events in the Gloucestershire area. Well timed, but we need more!

I'm not going to get too worried. We've heard this all before. Let's hope this time doesn't turn into the story of the boy who called wolf. As ever, it's the lads who do the work who I feel sorry for.

Cheque will be in the post on Monday. Hope it will help. I too feel sorry for the crew, both flight & ground.

We hope to boost funds with the Club stand at Duxford this Sunday :D :D :D We hope it helps to close the gap.

I wonder why this cannot start now :?: :?: :?:

Quote: We continue to put all our resources, and those of the Board, into seeking solutions. Specifically, we are searching for "White Knights" who could bridge the financial gap we see until the new revenue streams at Robin Hood commence in the autumn.

I know there is a good answer why not ;) ;)

Good luck for Duxford - Paul, Gregg, Aggy and co. Hope you have a great day and fill those buckets! :D
I'm afraid I am beginning to feel very worried about this one ... :? :( All we need is for you to get £1 from 170,000 people on Sunday. :D :lol:

Fingers and everything crossed that the money will come in. It would be an absolute travesty if we failed now, she is in the best ever shape flying wise!

It is the new total as of Monday. The update info is wrong.
Friday was £182,563. Monday was £190,122.

They could well decide to hang in there as the season is now under and go bankrupt in September. (Yes I know that's not allowed under Trust rules etc).
