Conpulsion09

OK, People are very kind,
folks have been donating to the "Fundables" account
that I planned to cancel however, it does not look as though I can
actually cancel it but that it will run it's course

I do not believe it will raise the necessary sum
and thus no monies will be taken from the generous individuals
who gifted them

Could I ask therefore that all involved instead
transfer their donation to the PAYPAL account established to
fund Loren's visit to Conpulsion 09.

This has not yet been set up but it should be very shortly.

I have been given the name of a third party by Loren Wiseman
who is hopefully going to be willing to become involved in the setting
up of this account (but it is not certain yet) so hopefully this
will become a reality as the person is very much a known name to
Traveller fandom and has impeccable credentials.

Thank you all for your ongoing support here

OK, that fundables account is still open

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/gr ... 4474707679

i cant close it so if anyone wants to continue to put money in there
please feel free
I have lowered the money target to a more attainable $200, so if I can
reach that it should be a nice pot to start off the proper PAYPAL (still to be done) account
with

Alan Hume

Hmm
this link might work better

OK,
final decision here the best route to go does seem to be a case of setting up a "fundables" account every month with a target or $200 or so, hopefully each month I will reach that target and be able to put aside teh money raised towards Loren's visit to Conpulsion (ideally this money will go to a third party to hold in trust - any volunteers?)

so please keep donating guys and let's Keep the flame alive

Ok, the fundables account didnt work
could I ask then that if anyone is kind enough to want to donate to bringing Loren over for Conpulsion that they
either pass any donations over to myself directly, I can be found at SESWC on a Thursday night or donate directly to Loren (ClEARLY marking up
CONPULSION 09) via his webpage at

http://www.cgi101.com/~lkw/index.html

If you go into the "New" section you will find a "donate" button

Thankyou once again everyone, let's keep on Travellin'

The ball is rolling guys,
we have almost covered Loren's flight :D

so, if all the fanboys and girls out there are still up for it please
keep the fundages rolling in (and, perhaps more importantly, get yourselves to Edinburgh for Conpulsion09)

oh, as regards a game to play with Loren on Sunday
my feeling is that a "Starship Battles" game of
BITS Power Projection Fleets complete with painted Ad Astra Traveller minis ships (and maybe some GZG germanic ships too)
would be great

Hmmm, feeling kinda lonely here
anyone got any comments to share?

Alan Hume

well, some more money
was scrounged from willing
vic...er, um supporters
last night so
I think it is safe to say that we
have now covered Loren's flight money

hooray,
I Believe that GEAS are being good enough to cover the accomodation (thankyou, thankyou,thankyou:.)
so now all we need is to get the
taxi fares, food etc covered

brilliant
