is there some sort of indicative time line for the donation system ?
ie a few weeks or months?

Ever.

No, seriously, it's not a single donation drive to get an amount of money for a once off purchase, if we don't get enough through sales then each year we would go cap in hand to the community for the next year of lease.

Of course, if we can get a bank up with a few years worth of funds this year, then future years become easier.

In terms of the initial drive, we're probably looking for about $3.5K or so, so keep that money flowing in peeps.

It wont let me donate without a MEMBER number...

Edit: But seeing as though I have the ear of the Treasurer, that's been fixed

You had better give it back to him as he would look really silly without it, and it makes him hard of hearing.....

I'm not interested in your jewellery, cloth eyes.
