ATMPA DAY TWO UPDATE

ALL THINGS MUST PASS AGAIN - Live day 2

MONEY RAISED....

Well, what news does today bring? To start with - a few more sales, which is extremely heartening (these will be sent on early in the coming week). DO please keep these orders coming in.

Yesterday I promised to give an indication of where we were at as far as getting into the black and thus able to give money to George's Material World Foundation. So, here goes...

All of the outgoings (including all of the materials, CD production, licensing etc) was kept to the absolute bare minimum; this all said and done was still in excess of £650 (this was based on production of some elements up to 100 units, others slightly less). Any sales above this, I have an agreement to manage this on a smaller and more manageable set of limits so that further additional outlay is kept to amounts where monies for the charity is still kept as high as possible.

Right, so now we can look at money IN. Thanks to the CD fund raising activities held before we even got to ATMPA, I managed to get in a very useful £273, thanks to many charitable people helping the cause. Even still, this meant that there was still a shortfall of some £375 before we could get to the vaunted black line.

I am absolutely delighted to say that we have already DONE IT! Not only have we reached that black line, we are currently in credit by <drum rolls> ....£135! This may not sound a huge amount, but considering that we are a cottage industry project with extremely limited means, I think it is remarkable. In actual fact.. I kept it quiet, but we were in the black A FULL WEEK BEFORE 6th NOVEMBER!!

But.. we now push on. It would be truly incredible to raise this amount to as high as we possibly can, to help raise both the funds AND awareness in George's wonderful original album, and (let's big ourselves up here..) our more than decent recreation of it!

So, well done everyone. This was far easier than I could ever hope for. I feel extremely proud...but let's do this project PROUDER!!
