Apologies to those who have already responded, but I need to 'chase up' the rest!

I need, please, an indication from you all that you will be happy to pay your 'subs' again this year so that I can fix the amount.

NB
1) I do NOT need money at this moment. Paying before I have calculated the required amount will complicate things!!
2) Some of you have already responded, so thanks.
3) If you can also say which payment method you prefer that would be good.

Please respond by PM, and the tally plus info is kept at the 'Members only' thread at viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8718
