The statement given in my post of 3rd Jan is an interim statement pending the financial audit which will be carried out following the end of this year.

Suzanne - The FOM Bank account was essentially set up to transfer £UK(FOM) to $(Mudcat) without incurring the often high currency changing charges.It operates in the UK only and payments must be made in £sterling and credit cards cannot be used.

FOM Bank Sort code and account no. are PM'd individually to potential donors on request.

Payments in other currencies can of course be made direct to Mudcat via Paypal and other international payment agencies.
