I just though I would give a brief update, as there's around one week to donate to this project.
I haven't started the ball rolling by putting my own money through this Indegogo scheme, because all money paid has commission deducted and Paypal charge for their bit as well !
In addition, the taxman regards crowdfunding
schemes, as income and the organiser (me) has to declare all the money and fill in a tax return.
All this has proved to be interesting market research and although no-one has donated yet, I have had some encouraging comments and there is interest, especially if the costs can be brought down which I am looking into
Many thanks for all your input and if donations come through, it will go ahead.
I've Just finished co-ordinating this shipping container https://www.flickr.com/photos/41294071@N02/16091768654/
