He sent the money through yesterday, and I've couriered the caddy off to
him today (CourierPost EA 603 682 070 NZ).

I've given the $73 proceeds from the sale to Jamie Baddeley, to put with
the proceeds from the installfest (I guess that makes him "Money Man" at
present :-) ).

Finally, Jamie (B) and I were talking about possible uses for the money
last night at dinner -- and it occurs to me that it could be quite
usefully kept for the next installfest to help pay for publicity, parts
for sale, etc.  Ie, treat it as "working capital" rather than something
that has to be spent immediately.

There is, however a risk once money starts floating around of wellylug
being seen (legally) as effectively a partnership doing business (which
means all members are equally liable).  So if we're going to build up a
war chest of money, etc then some more formality might be in order.
