Donations required - member needs help (part 2)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Right we have just had a VERY large donation from a very nice member who wants to remain anonymous. This member saw the umming and arring over the SB600/SB900 and made the decision for us by donating the difference between the SB600 and SB900 !!!

It is a phenomenally nice gesture and will mean that we are now getting the SB900 for Julian. This is a nicer flash for sure but it has one massive feature which I really wanted for him and that is the manual dial to select the mode. This will make it so much easier for him to use.

My thanks publicly to this member although you wish to remain private. You know we appreciate it.

One of the guys on UKSaabs has brought this to our attention (Dunno what his name is on here :eek:ops: ) and there may be a few of us who'd like to contribute. Like to have some means of contributing on UKS i.e. a link. He'd like for us to contribute as a group but I suspect it might be simpler and easier to put UKS Member in the Paypal account.

Got any pointers as to what we can use?

The best I can offer is a good condition OM40* (I think) That I'd give wheels to keep him going but I suspet that isn't what he needs.

*Still trying to work out which DSLR I want so still using film!

Thank you, you could contribute using the paypal email address shown in post 1.

The OM40 is a nice offer and we would happily pass it on.

What did I say about nice to see they have stopped?
 
That'll serve me right for not checking TP for the day! Glad to see how well this is going, some truly amazingly generous offers going on (y). Long may they continue (no Julian, we don't care what you say or think about that one :D :LOL:)
