Help. I am trying to make a donation to the Hardship fund, but the checkout process seems to be insisting that I live in the UK and doesn't give me a Paypal option. It is entirely possible I am being an idiot, but I can't see how to get round it on the checkout process. Should I just use the generic "donate" option instead?

You can only GiftAid it if you're a UK tax payer. If it's recognising that you're not in the UK then it might not give you the option, so you may need to use the generic donate option.

Yes, please do. If you put in the special instructions or whatever it's called, that it's for the Hardship Fund.

Thank you for this. It’s a new website so we hadn’t come across this in testing.

We now have added a country drop down so should let you through to the PayPal option now.

Thanks folks.

I had to clear cookies and log out and back in before I could see the country/paypal options, but sorted now and donation made.

I do know that Ronnie Pountney had to pay to use Roots Hall when he finally had his belated Testimonial back in about 2000. Think some people who worked on it are on SZ so possibly they will know how much it cost them.

Hmm, Ron had to pay for turnstile operators, stewards etc, but not sure if he had to pay a set fee for hire of the ground BBTLLO, will check.
