Work is going on apace on the monument, and as can be seen here, the bronzes have arrived on site.

All the individual names have now been sponsored for the monument I’m pleased to say.

I daresay you can still donate money to the monument fund. Was this a general question or do you have some Aussie Dollars burning a hole in your pocket?

That’s good. It was a bit of both; it would be good if people still feel incentivised to donate, and in my case it was more organising something this end that trying to push any of my fast disapearing cash in this particular direction. All together now: “There’s no money in publishing!”

Wow, good to see it coming along, can’t wait to see it when its done, i’m thinking about a trip down to London to see the Spit and Hurricane at Science Museum (both B of B vets i believe), the BoB monument and if possible a trip to the IWM at Lambeth.

Geoff,
Is it still possible to sponsor individual names, or is it general donations they want?
Cheers

Looks like a new stop on the tour of London, next time I’m there.

Geoff, I emailed the buggers last week and got no reply. I want to send some money. Are there any names left at all for sponsoring? Do you know anyone?
