NOTICE
As you will be aware we have been fortunate in obtaining a tremendous amount of
support from commercial sources since the earliest days of the Society's
formation and wherever possible we endeavour to acknowledge this in these
pages.
We do so only after agreement with the company concerned or their
representative, thus there are many instances whereby we have received support
from organisations where we cannot publicly express our gratitude, much as we
would like to do so. Unfortunately it would seem that some individuals visiting
this site see an opportunity to take advantage of our good intentions by
contacting some of our supporters, in the hope of getting 'something for
nothing'
We certainly do not operate in this underhanded manner, but instead go to great
lengths in explaining what we are about, the project itself, our charitable
status and our limited resources, wherever possible inviting potential
supporters to visit and see for themselves. In some cases support develops from
personal contacts by members, so that it is somewhat embarrassing to learn that
others have attempted to gain from the situation.
Could I ask that
all potential supporters are made aware of our policy to acknowledge their
generosity, but only with their
complete agreement, should they prefer anonymity we will
respect their wishes. In these instances I would ask that the committee be
advised of the donor's identity so that a suitable private acknowledgement of
thanks might be made. |
