I have heard (unconfirmed) that Alfred is working on a site with a donation function in order to fundraise for the future. I , and I know many boardies, would contribute so that the financial responsibility for making the fireworks happen in future will not rest solely on Alfred. I will keep you posted. Canoe will be ringing in the New Year with 2 for 1 lobster dinner, champagne toast at midnight, chinese wish lanterns, gorgeous beach view, LIVE WEBCAST!!!, and planty of good cheer! Feel free to join us|! It's best in the west! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
