For some reason some bank transfers are not showing the comments/reference people add. Got one today with just a name on it (so dunno if its Boots or Greedygoblin), but I know people are putting refs that just aren't coming through.
Something to do with it coming from a different bank I suspect.

Apart from manual man and KanKan14 if you've bank transfered me please drop me a PM with the your name (or the name of the account it's coming from if different).

Please any bank transfers from now on do this too.

Just a quick one on this for peoples thoughts.

As people are paying various different amounts of donations it makes this slightly difficult to ensure the integrity of the thing (or more importantly my integrity as the bag man) is not open to question.

I.e. if it was ten euro each and 40 people entered then I have to cough up €400 when all is said and done.

But as nobody but me knows what anyone else donated then I can embezzle as much as I like. As donations are voluntary I had originally not intended to post a list of the individual donations so as not to put any pressure on what people feel they can give. But unless that list is on the record, such that everyone can see that their donation, at the correct amount, is included in the total I am sort of in a difficult situation where ye are all putting complete and absolute trust in me not to run off with half the cash and say that everyone donated a fiver.

Equally I don't want to throw up the list of donations without the consent of the donors.

Any suggestions on how to verify the donations other than publishing a list of names and amounts??

A poll maybe with various amounts, but anonymous? As long as you set it with 5 euro intervals it should work.

We trust you, though

We trust you. Its a fair point you make but I can't imagine anybody has an issue. I also see no harm in putting up a list but some may have an issue with this which is fair enough.

The only way to ensure anonymity would be to do something like this as far as I can see:

Example - 40 donations so assign each person a random number between 1 and 40 and pm them their number (so only the two of you know what their number is). Then post here on the thread the numbers with the correspending donation amount so each person can see that the donation amount corresponds to how much they donated, and in so doing would show the total amount in donations also.

More than willing to place my trust in this being done properly without needing it all itemised. Will try get my payment in over the weekend.

Kankan14

Happy to take your word for it.

I don't think making things transparent can do any harm. I'd be very surprised if there was anything untoward was going on, but the majority of us don't know one another other than by our boards persona, so transparency can just put everyone's mind completely at ease and who knows may even encourage a few more donations. It requires some more admin - I'd be glad to help with that - but I definitely think it's a good idea.

I'm not doubting that people will generally go on trust. But its a bit too unaccountable for my liking in (highly unlikely) event of it being questioned. Plus if even a minority of people are reluctant to hand over money to a stranger on the internet on those terms it'll affect the venture.

Anyhow. Manual man's idea works perfectly. I'll receipt everyone by PM with a reference number and list total without names when we're done. Very little extra work in that.

Honestly, happy to trust you, FHFC. The fact that you are looking for a method of accountability shows the integrity that you have.

With that in mind im happy to entrust you with the 2k i sent or are you going to say you didn't get it :O

In all seriousness though, i dont feel there is a need to burden yourself further

I can understand FHFC wanting to protect himself tbf

That could all be part of the cunning plan!

It's fine now lads. Its sorted. I'm happy to just send an extra pm with a reference number to everyone as they pay.

I don't want any room for doubts, spoken or unspoken.

Here lads. Just realised the messages etc in bank transfers are coming through belatedly.

I can see payments on my App pretty quickly after yis make them but the details seem to come through a day or so later once payment us fully cleared.

It was more if either our wife's happened to see a payment from the PayPal with a busts reference. The state you were in that day I couldn't have imagined you would have been capable of organising something like this ha.
