GRRR Slush fund account
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 11:51 am
Hi all,
With our server rental now finalised, and a number of people committed to making contributions, I have now setup a specific bank account for the clan. Details are:
Bank: ABSA
Sort code: 632005
Account number: 9243121822
Account name: GRRR Slush Fund
Please guys, when making payments, use your online nick as the payment reference, so that I can see clearly who the cash came from. Also, for those of you that have my personal account details setup as a payment beneficiary, please don't use that account for contributions to the Slush fund. I may miss those payments on my normal transactional account, and they monies won't end up where it's supposed to be. By the same reckoning though, if you wish to give me money for any reason (and I can think of many many good reasons that you'll want to do this), please don't pay it into the slush fund...
I strongly recommend that anyone who plans to make a regular monthly contribution set up a stop order to do so. This way no-one forgets from month to month, and as a stop order is a push transaction rather than pull, you can cancel it at any time should you no longer wish to contribute.
I'd also encourage people to contribute a little more than R50 a month if you have the means. Based on the current commitments made on the clan server thread, there is going to be a shortfall that Lee, Daz and I will have to cover monthly. I'd really like to get to a position where we are collecting well above the R650 a month required for the server (and the R10 per month service fee that the bank charges - grrr!!). We can then use that cash to help us all get to and enjoy rAge this year, as well as any otehr clan infrastructure changes that we want to make e.g. local website hosting.
As previously mentined, I'll contribute R200 per month. From each according to their means, of course, so please don't take that as a gauntlet thrown down to get everyone paying in the same.
