Hi everyone, A quick update 7 days after launch (pun intended).
We have reached 92% of our first goal. We're receiving huge supports and an amazing coverage from medias. This is just awesome. In the latest news, we just received a 1 200€ pledge from the CNIEL https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_national_interprofessionnel_de_l%27%C3%A9conomie_laiti%C3%A8re the organisation promoting dairy products in France. Just so you know, we did not asked them to. We're really happy from this unexpected support :) Thanks also to everyone here who helped spread the word and allowed us to go this far. Now, we have to reach the 9 000€ goal so we can produce a documentary about how cheese is made. Thanks again, I tried to remain brie-f -- Christophe On 1 December 2014 at 11:58, Richard Symonds < richard.symo...@wikimedia.org.uk> wrote: > Lincolnshire Poacher isn't just a cheese OR a pig... > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincolnshire_Poacher_(numbers_station) > > Richard Symonds > Wikimedia UK > 0207 065 0992 > > Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and > Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
