Thank you all for voting.

Now we have to continue to discuss ways of raising funds for these worthwhile causes, which has been made more problematic by not being able to run a raffle this year. Any suggestions can be made in this thread.

In the original timetable, I was going to be appealing for donations and pledges of prizes from 1st March onwards for the ill-fated raffle. I am still going ahead with the appeal for prizes as we will still be holding events where prizes will be available. More on the donations next week.
