Still having received no response I have resorted to sending Ben & Mike a PM.
I have not received my orders and, with no stock showing anywhere, fear the worst

There are a few videos on this channel about cameras.  Cheapo: There is a video on using reading glasses to get closer focus.
Expensive: Focus is the big issue. 

Hi Michael,

It's been a while .... great cause, good on you! Just added a little more to the kitty.

All the best,

Mark 

What John just said. Cheers, David.

Thank you for your generous donation Mark, I'm sure you understand what a worthwhile cause it is.

Just £20 to go now 

Mick,

Last year they used another intermediary for the finances, you could change the info, adjust your target etc..

This year they've used Just Giving. You can't rewrite your info or adjust your target.

I raised £430-and-a-bit last year, so it was I that set my target. I've had an afternoon of 'tin-rattling', both here & on my contacts list and given people a bit of a gee-up.

You, sir, have done me proud, as have a couple of other folk on hear. A shout out to @martyn who has also graciously donated this weekend.

Thank you ALL.

And the Sir Galahad, unarmed and undefended. A sitting duck. Why, oh why?

With all good wishes.

I don't need much prompting and this is an extra special reason to do so. Consider it done 

44 years ago the battle to retake the Falkland Islands was in full swing. HMS Sheffield, HMS Ardent, HMS Antelope, HMS Coventry had been sunk, the Atlantic Conveyor had been hit by two Exocet missiles and 77 British military personnel were dead with numerous casualties.

Since then, many British service personnel have lost their lives, & countless more have suffered, and are suffering hardships due to PTSD & injuries suffered in service.

Any donation you can make, however small, goes a long way. I'm still quite a way from my £500 target that I've set myself.
