The asbestos contamination is now complete, the next task is to get the roof replaced, then clean up the interior and repair the heat and smoke damage. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238540 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 13:31:06 +0000 Ed1 238540@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>500 US dollars from moodys I wonder why they paid in dollars not in pounds </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238466 Wed, 07 Dec 2016 18:49:52 +0000 chdot 238466@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/edinburgh-cycle-charity-hits-10k-crowdfunding-target-1-4309876" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/our-region/edinburgh/edinburgh-cycle-charity-hits-10k-crowdfunding-target-1-4309876</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238223 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 16:54:10 +0000 chrisfl 238223@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Indeed, I had gone on planning to give more and then the "rewards" system worked me down to a smaller reward, rather than talking me up to one of the workshop sessions which I would have done without the timelimit. Great to see that the original goal of 10 000 has now been met.</p> <p>Also occurs to me that donating directly to the charity with gift aid is more efficient. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238207 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:39:28 +0000 acsimpson 238207@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>chrisfl,</p> <p>don't worry there's always the donation option if none of the rewards take your fancy. I'm sure you'll still get a thanks, although it wont be the official reward one as far as I can tell. It comes with an extra portion of that nice warm feeling which is useful on a day like today too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238203 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 14:25:20 +0000 chrisfl 238203@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It seems a shame that they have put a time restrictions on the vouchers for various things. I probably would be tempted, but can't be sure I would use them within a year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238192 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 13:19:25 +0000 chdot 238192@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/thebikestation/status/805747034850553857" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/thebikestation/status/805747034850553857</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-238180 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 11:56:14 +0000 Kim 238180@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bump, the Bike Station still needs your support, if you want to still have a Bike Station this time next year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-237946 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 00:13:48 +0000 Kim 237946@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All offers of help are welcome as is support for the <a href="http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/surviving-after-fire">Crowdfunder appeal</a>, even if you can only spare a fiver, it makes a difference... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-237912 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 15:18:16 +0000 spytfyre 237912@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>very sad to read the email in my work inbox<br /> leapt into action on the intranet bike group and trying to see if the company can offer man hours to help<br /> possibly the odd PC... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17222#post-237902 Thu, 01 Dec 2016 14:06:18 +0000 condor2378 237902@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Bike Station have put out an appeal for help to raise £10k after a fire has gutted the premises.</p> <p>Video and details <a href="http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/surviving-after-fire">HERE</a> </p>
