But I do wonder how P4 will go,

We know the approx numbers from previous projects.
GF - 900 members / £2m raised from members.
KH - 5600 members / £12m raised from members.
DW - 8800 members / 19m raised from members.
P4 - ???? members / ??m raised from members.

On here via the secret list,
GF - 12 members
KH - 27 members
DW - 14 members
P4 - ?? members
I am now beginning to think of inheritance for the kids. More projects = financial stability for them. I'll sit down next couple of days and read the blurb on P4. The preponderance of grey skies we experience in comparison to the South end of island make it quite attractive.

Thanks Ian, my condolences for your work colleague. :( 51 is far too early. :(

November's CF at GF was 37.9%, a little behind the baseline and a smidge behind last years total.

But not too shabby. :mrgreen:

Thanks for posting @Nowty. Even though November is down on historical average the remaining months in red suggest that overall they may marginally ahead since the new tariff was applied in April! :xx:

The new tariff was applied 1st of March so unfortunately out last bumber month on the mega rate will be Feb. :evil:

The new rate was released last year on the 12th Dec, they did an early deal whilst the rates were still high but coming down. I suspect this year we might be waiting till nearer the new contract date and almost certainly after the project 4 launch is well under way.

Cheers Nowty, thanks for qualification. I do hope Feb, the final month isn't a bumber! But hey, it's been a terrific first two years of involvement, so I'll happily take whatever it throws our way. :)
