I am also surprised at the final total, when I looked when it had gone into overtime it was a lot less. with only 70 donors we were lucky to get there, it is a shame that TARS with over 1300 members so few donated.
If the bulk of the member's had done so at £5 a head we would have had some to spare, It seems possible a lot of them were not aware of the auction.
Still water under the bridge and the Few succeeded, I hope there will be a bigger response to the need for further funds.
On a different issue why does she have a patch on her sail, it seems it is cosmetic but I cannot recall any reference in the book, or in AR's illustrations.
