Target smashed, Cheque to Dougie soon

That's it folks, the final target for the Dougie Appeal Bike Fund has now been truly obliterated.
I have a small confession that the initial target stood at a lowly £1500, Which would have been enough to get Dougie started with a recumbent, if not the best. However due to eveyones generosity this was soon
surpassed so I udged the target and fudged the figures a little to come up with a new target of £2500. This we acheived last week. We were however waiting for Edinburgh Bike Co-op (Dougie's ex work) to have there AGM, they'd said they would have a whip round. Yesterday we were given the cash from that, they raised
£421 but what was even better was  that the business then matched that with a further £421. So with that little
lot and a few more donations the fund now stands at £3580.15.
So I can now update the picture to the 100% version. I will be giving the Cheque to Dougie tomorrow so he can get on with the serious job of picking the right bike for him, It may take a while since it is a big decision and very important he gets it right.
So once again thanks to everyone, I'm sure he loves you all. 
Or maybe it'll be like this one.
