Slenky.me Initiative for mapping - communications still in progress.
Media Report - plea sent for volunteers, no body has come forward. Might be good to check it’s also sent out on the mailing list.
Shell Filling Stations - no reply from Ilya. Will leave.
Bank Account Progress(Jon)
Bank account is open. They have issued debit cards and online banking tokens for all of us. But they get deactivated automatically if they aren't used for too long. Should we all have access to these or only some of us, and if so who?
As the whole process took so long(partly our fault as we failed to fill in the form properly) the bank has kindly credited us with £25.
Financial Report(Jon)
We have £25 but we owe Brian £40. I have been in contact with Frederik Ramm who will be paying the £1200 for consultancy by bank transfer - I am waiting to hear from him that it is done.
Jon will take up creating a Paypal account.
Do we need a merchant account with the bank to accept credit card payments?
No. Easy to take payments through Paypal, can review later if financially/convienience alternatives are better.
