We raised a total of £447.35; we had 53 donations amounting to £472.20,
and PayPal deducted £24.85 in charges. I have issued four cheques of
£112.00 each as follows:

In memory of Charity Status
Thomas Harland CLIC (awaiting address)
Dave Horrocks Rhyl CC (despatched)
Maurice Broadbent Dave Rayner Fund (awaiting address)
Wayne Wilkes Shelter Cymru (despatched)

I've emailed CLIC and the Dave Rayner Fund to ask for postal addresses
(and I see Dave Rayner Fund have just replied).

I've written to the secretary of Rhyl CC as follows:

Dear Scott Eccles

I'm sorry to burden you with things at this time. I have collected
donations on behalf of the Usenet group uk.rec.cycling, originally
intended for a wreaths for your members who died earlier this month.
However, having seen from your website that donations to charities were
preferred, I have made donations as follows:

In memory of Charity Amount
Thomas Harland CLIC £112.00
Dave Horrocks Rhyl CC £112.00
Maurice Broadbent Dave Rayner Fund £112.00
Wayne Wilkes Shelter Cymru £112.00
To complete this I enclose with this letter a cheque for £112.00 made out
to Rhyl Cycling Club in memory of Dave Horrocks. I also enclose cards
for the families of those who died, which I should be grateful if you
could pass on.

With best wishes to all members of your club

Well, the good news is that my new wheel is at the bike shop. The bad
news is I haven't seen it yet. I'm now allowed to sleep without the
brace, which is an enormous step forward because it means I actually do
get a good night's sleep. But...

I really, really do recommend /not/ crashing your bike at high speed.
It's exceeding uncomfortable and, for someone who is self employed, it
makes an awful hole in the finances.

Well done indeed, Simon. Thanks for your sterling effort. Feel a bit
guilty that I didn't get around to contributing... I'll see if I can
manage to make a private donation to one of the nominated charities instead.

Thanks for organising this Simon.

(i) some donations were in US$
(ii) PayPal charges were surprisingly large.

Both these things meant we didn't get round numbers.
