I think, it will work like this: I'm going to set up a page on our website,
which lists people who have donated to rtlToronto, and how much, just like
Lugnet.
If you want to help pay for some of the operating costs (ie, room rental,
playfield building materials etc) then figure out a way to drop Chris a
donation. One person has already done so (and that's not me, I forked out
$70 odd dollars for the first playfield :) We won't look at you weird if
you don't pay anything, don't worry...

Aaargh! I deny all knowledge of that secret handshake. handshake
handshake, pry bushing off axle motion, two hands put together pieces of
track...wiggle your thumbs....

Oh, you mean all those things I do now? :) I'm happy to see us paying off
debts. Anything else can go into new construction (ie, new boards) or
future room bookings and costs (ie, we break something at the Library)

I think asking for donations is good enough of a start.

The prize doesn't and sholdn't, in my view, be money. The prize has never
been money for the last three years. It's always been the challenge, the
fame, and the accomplishment. Today, I retold the story of Bruce's stacker
to four coworkers....
