Actually, I despair of the entire thread. There is all of £20 at stake here. There is
every reason to economise on staff time, on this scale. The waste of volunteer time and
good will that has been generated is unconscionable. The object of the exercise has been
completely forgotten. The objects of the charity hardly enter.

Absolutely. After 43 emails all we have learned that the mailing list is not a remotely
efficient way of deciding how the charity should spend £20. The staff have plenty to go
on, and they should be perfectly able to move ahead now without need for any further
commentary.
I suggest that this thread should be treated as closed. Thank you for your comments
everybody.
