How is the finances of microlighters? We were asked to make donation to keep microlighters up and running. Any feedback from the mods?

So, is my monthly contribution helping to make a dent in the outstanding amount?
Secondly, are the rest of the guys pitching in as well? I remember quite a few members promising contributions.

There were some really big numbers from what I can remember.
DH would be able to give more info on this.
The Site is running off my Credit - card and it is a small amount that makes me feel like i am doing something good for the Site at least.
DH is the one that took out BIG BUCKS to keep the site up and Running. His company took a major Knock.

I'm in. Willing and able to help in any way whatsoever.
And I'm formally charging and challenging everyone else on the forum to do the same.
We all have the benefit of this and only a handful are contributing towards all the FREE advice, tips and information that is available on here.
C'mon guys and girls......let's do something about this now once and for all. It's rather unfair, in my opinion, that one guy should take a knock for the benefit of all.
That's my opinion. Some of you may not agree and may see it differently. I don't really care. I'm willing to help.

I love the bald eagles concept.
A couple bucks (R100?) and you get brekkie somewhere and 1 flip in any aerie there (proving the pilot is OK with that). Additional flips at X bucks (maybe R50) all go to the kitty. Will do flips in the RV and/or the Cub and/or Albat if CAA have let it out cage by then all day long and provided it not too far from Brits (If the cub is in and I can find a lift to and from the venue to fetch it Cub only does 60mph). Also albat needs 1200m so that may also be a issue... Worst case RV anywhere... and if Animal upgrade is finished try to swing to get it there as well...
Just thinking aloud...

Fund raiser sound like the right thing! When where how and who will do the organising? Maybe put some names in the hat and see what comes out!?

I'm keen for a lekka fly-inn contribution kinda thing. What's happening 17 July ? I will gladly buy a R 100 boerie roll if it contributes to the forum.

I'm very sure the Cape guys will want to do the same and contribute. (After the SWC of course)
