Of course, it's no surprise that we hit a roadblock eventually - in fact, I'm surprised everything has gone so smoothly until now. Hopefully it will be done by the AGM, although that's a little optimistic. There is no urgency - we can claim gift aid retrospectively going back a couple of years, I think (there's no way it should take that long). It just makes it easier to encourage people to donate, but major fundraising isn't something we need to worry about until after the AGM. I think, with or without this, we can open metaphorical champagne at the AGM - getting that far is a great achievement. (Of course, opening real champagne is even better if anyone cares to buy some!) _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
