Bird Book for Mandla Ngomane

[ExFmem]

Thanks everyone for all your efforts

Just let me know what I need to do.

I suggest everyone pays into the whichever shop at Monte that will provide the most gifts!

It will be a total overflow, so Robert must handle it?

Cash is also maybe an option via them, so who knows?

But I would suggest PM Lis with the final arrangements, as crooks may be watching?

Think we must use Moggiedog payfast account. I cannot expect the shop to be our book keeper and try keep track of monies over a couple of days.

Any excess Moggiedog can then use to add to the package?

I will be going past Monte maybe later today or at latest tomorrow and will pick up the book, then can get it to Moggiedog. I am also in park next week Thursday and Friday at Lower Sabie and the Sat night at Olifants and probably exiting at Phalaborwa, perhaps we can relay it up to him?

That would be great, Robert! Thank you

I agree with you on the payment. I will organize the payment of the three WNs and each of you can pay your part into Moggiedog's account. It will probably take some time to get all the money deposited, but I trust that you can wait a little while and then you can make a plan with Moggiedog

It would be nice if you could write something on the first page of the book. Also only "To Mandla from Africa Wild"

Moggiedog, do you agree on the above?

[Bushcraft]

Wow, thanks to all who have put their hands up to participate in this cause and thanks to those who are in a position to contribute

[Moggiedog]

Thanks every one - your response has been amazing!!
I have Pm'd Robert and I will try and get hold of my nephew to see if he can make a plan to get the book from Robert and deliver it to "his favourite aunt" . I am not sure if he is in town at the moment as he was going to Namibia sometime soon. Will give an update as soon as I can.
I am happy for people to use my payfast account - the only drawback is I have to generate a payment request for the amount required. I am trying to see if I can still access my paypal account - but it has been many many years since I used paypal
I am happy to use my bank account as well - but then it would make more sense to pay direct to Robert's account. Whatever is the simplest and cheapest method is what we need to look at.

When are you going to Punda, Moggiedog? Do you in any case want to bring it yourself to Mandla? This would be perfectly understandable

[Moggiedog]

Not got any plans for this year (although I am hoping this will change) so very happy for anyone who is going to deliver it.

I just spoke to Mandla and I am going to Hoedspruit next week and Mandla can fetch it from there - If he cannot meet me he can fetch it from my son in Hoedspruit.
I have given my nephews contact details to Robert. My nephew works at Halfway Toyota fourways which is very close to Monte Casino - and my nephew will bring it through to me. Alternatively if someone is heading for Punda we can make alternative arrangements. As I said earlier what ever is the easiest and most convenient

I've never used PayPal, etc., or transferred $$ to an overseas account, so someone will need to 'splain it to me.

If the fee for sending money overseas is too high, relative to the amount sent, I'll have to come up w/ another option, that's why I volunteered my CC

to all making it happen.
