Donations required for Zephyr Zone domain

EDIT:

We've already made enough for the next renewal, so I've removed the PayPal link.


Hi Zephyr Zoners

The domain renewal/hosting fee (£30 per year) is now due on the Zephyr Zone. Please donate here if you think the Zone is useful and you want it to continue:

<link disabled - donation target reached>


The donation amount is set at £1.75 (so less than half-a-pint if you're UK based). Assuming PayPal haven't changed their fees, approx £1.45 of this gets to me. There's still a fiver left over from the previous donations, so I need 17 and a quarter people to donate please.

I deliberately didn't add a DONATE option when I rebuilt the Zone. I've been looking for someone to take over the Zone Admin role for over a year now, and thought it would be sorted by now and therefore someone else's problem. The good news is that I think I've found someone to take over. As the domain renewal is imminent (25th May) I didn't think it was fair to leave them with the task of begging for cash the moment they took over, so will sort this out (assuming people donate) before handing over.

Thanks

Steve

Riding a Z900RS now so Zephyr retired to shed. I think 4 years before I can get Club rego. Still check in here every day so happy to forgo a beer seeing I havn't had one for the last 45 years.
Well done to the bloke who "volunteered"

Sorry, I was on vacation for the past 2 weeks, off the grid. Missed all these actions. I would be happy to donate.
