A number of people have mentioned that they would become sponsors as per the
sponsors page if they could pay by credit card. I've been looking at
PalPal, SWReg, WorldPay etc and they all require you to enter your name and
address as well as your credit card number. I think this would possibly put
people off; any comments...?

I've used worldpay on other sites without any problem, they have to
have peoples names and addresses in case of fraud.

It does surprise me that people who want to make a contribution are so easily put off. Surely most people can get to their bank or post office and get a pounds sterling money order, or bank draft. And, surely most clubs will find it easier to do this for few clubs have a club credit card. The overhead is not large and it makes it easy for Colin as well. Judging from comments from a few months ago people would send money in their own currency but sending in sterling is a no brainer. Maybe, Colin, if you sorted out the publishing, and the competitors separated from fleets problem people would send in buckets of money ( just joking). So there is my comment for what it is worth. More succinctly, users should make more effort to pay the poor bugger for his considerable efforts on our behalf. Perhaps if we all came over to paint his bathroom . .. . .

I have to raise my hand as a guilty party. International currency and international mail rates are just two things that I literally never deal with in my regular life, so it's a lot of trouble to figure out how to do it and I haven't sent Colin any money. Not as any kind of statement, but just because I haven't had time to take care of it. It would only take a few seconds to click over to PayPal.

It's easy....
Pull out your check book, write a check to Colin in your local currency and
mail it to him at his address. Colin takes the check to his bank and they
cash the check (sorry cheque). The bank will charge Colin a handling fee,
but he should get the money in sterling, less a few fees.
Option two send him an International Money Order in dollars or streling, any
bank will issue them and Colin can cash them.....

Hi Donald,
Perhaps if we all came over to paint
his bathroom . .. . .
Fun development on the bathroom/mother-in-law saga. I had everything
planned to finish tomorrow night; when suddenly, this evening, Sheena (my
wife) realises that she has got the dates wrong and that in fact her mother
is arriving this evening; not only that she is actually on the plane from
Bonnie Scotland and due to land in 30 mins... So in a panic Sheena has
rushed off to the airport while I sort everything out here. After a few
minutes flapping my arms about and not really getting anything done I
decided the best thing to do was trot off to the local off-licence (drug
store?) and get a few beers. Ben (my son) had similar thoughts after
getting instructions about how to wash the kitchen floor and has gone
surfing with his friends...
One thing is for sure, Sheena'll never ask me to do a big DIY job again for
two reasons: firstly it's cost us a fortune 'cos having done the plumbing,
tiling and carpentry without any experience, I kept buying the wrong stuff
(I have loads of unused plumbing parts if anybody is interested) and
secondly it's taken me ages. So all in all a pretty good result... 
Sorry for spamming the group with this; just thought it may be an amusing
aside...
Regards,
Colin

From Norway too :
Colin, you're not alone ! If it was only one thing I should have done "last year"... But that doesn't help you ! Well, I finished the bathroom for this Xmas. 2 years too late. But the bathroom-door was not "perfect" until this summer, just before my mother-in-law came...
Anyway, I never use online payments with my creditcard... (well, done it once but...) So, please keep it open for mailing you by snailmail.
It took a while, but finaly we sent a contribution. The Banks are not very nice serving sending money abroad. Last year we had EC for 49ers, and we posted our SWITF code/bank code and so on for the starting fee. I think the banks earned most on that : of $150 they took about $50 ! Amazing...
Well, it is still possible (but not recomended) to put £60 in an envelope and mail it ! Banks sells you foreig currency promtly !
Thanks alot for good programming!
Martin
