I agree. Direct Debits were the big thing I was disappointed not to achieve during my time on the board, and was very pleased to see Chris succeed where I had failed. The rest of the movement seems to have some difficulty understanding the important of direct debits (I think there are a very British way of giving to charity), but they really are very important. I look forward to the point (which may only be a couple of years away) when our goal in the annual fundraiser has nothing to do with the next year's income, because we already know we'll be getting that, and we're focusing on increasing revenue in the long term. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
