dMw Community Funds / Donations

[Penfold]

Heh TL - on the charity side I'm sure we can wangle it-  after all we are keeping a load of sociopathic, hoodie-wearing, violence-loving, gun-toting peeps off the streets

btw, I did make a lil contribution - it came up saying 'personal drinking fund' so I guessed it was the right place  

if you don't get it then please let me know - I am soooo bad at things like paypal

Ah, you're not thinking of giftaid, you're thinking of a National Lottery grant

Donation received - £15.00 (£14.29  after deduction of the Paypal fee)

Thank you!

The new server has been ordered and paid for.

Community Fund: £1,824.58
New Server cost:  Â£2,667.26

The dMw Community Account now has a balance of -£842.68

I have paid the difference between the cost of the server and the actual Communtiy funds held from my own personal account in the hope that the Community will be able to repay me from profit made by LAN VIII and the fund raising currently underway.

Nah I just haven't added it up yet.  Mind you I am going on holiday in about 10 days time - wonder of that's just a coincidence :norty:

I'll post it up when I add it up, shoudl be by the weekend.

I have finished reconciling the donations received by post or direct transfer.  Everyone who contributed should have received a PM from me confirming receipt and thanking for the contribution.

I have also now added the list of contributions received at the LAN. I just need to confirm that the cash held matches the written records I hold of who contributed what!  I hope to do this tonight.  At the same time I will also reconcile the LAN fee cash held (the £15 LAN fee).

Totals for all of these funds will be posted later today along with a new balance for the community funds.

On behalf of the community, thank you for your generosity.  The server purchased did a fantastic job at the LAN and when it goes into the London server rack in November you *will* notice the difference!

Top man. Nicely managed TL :clap:

[Penfold]

Well, way to go TL.

As you say, nice to be in the black.

Hopefully, with the next Lan, we'll be able to have more of a buffer....

Are there any major projected expenses in the next 6 months?

Thanks for your stewardship once again - nice to see the good ship DMW still afloat

The only thing currently under consideration is the acquisition of additional switches to alleviate the slight networking problems we experienced when one 24 port Cisco failed and the remaining two refused to talk to each other!  More details to come as and when the Admins have dicussed it, researched it and decided what's best to do.
