It all depends on how you define 'some'. If we are talking approximately a similar amount of money as the cost of domain renewal, that would be fine, but a sum which is of the order of what Rik mentioned above is imho more than we can afford. Yes I know that there is more than that amount in the kitty, but we must remember that currently the CLUG exercise is gently depleting the bank account each meeting. e.g. This evening's takings covered the cost of the hall hire by just a single dollar, but did not cover the cost of the bikkies or tea. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
