Hi John - your contribution was received, thank you! (Hopefully the American bank over here should update your UK bank over there across the pond soon enough for it to show up on your statement.)
Why not finance the Sphere by subscription rather than donation, a per annum subscription of, for example, $5.
It seems a shame that problems are arising because of lack of money.
I want the Sphere accessible to all regardless of financial situation. Any kind of subscription scheme no matter the amount involved will undermine that goal.
