Hi everyone
I've been in touch with Welsbys this morning and told them we are nearly at our goal. I was secretly hoping they would offer a donation.... but nothing yet.
Now a bit of other disappointing news - sadly it will take at least 8 weeks to fit the work into their schedule although the secretary did say she would mark the order 'asap'. I'm sorry about this but it never occured to me to ask about timescales. I thought it would be a couple of weeks at most.
I've also asked her if we can put a piece in the Echo as the project now has an outcome and they might be more interested now and she said fine. I'm hoping when she talks to her manager he'll realises it's a bit of free publicity and offer us that donation....!
I know there's a summary of the story somewhere in the threads which I think Annie put together for the Echo (I'm getting fed up with them but I'm not giving up!) so I'll find that and talk to Annie about the finished article before I do anything with it.
I'm going to bank the cheques this afternoon and find out about bank charges, then I could give Welsbys a cheque next week as a deposit to get the work done. I think I need to get the order in so it lessens the time we spend waiting. Opinions welcome!
Thanks everyone,
Lynne
