(checks files) hmm - It looks to me as though we're OK for funds at 
present.

I vote we donate COPIES of the lossless discs to the BBC! Just in case they 
have a spring clean and throw them out or wipe them    ;-)

Currently have two eager rippers awaiting their next batches - though I am 
so busy at present that it may be a couple of weeks before they go out. 
There are currently 4 batches of 20 or so tapes out there with the rippers, and 
I reckon 5 more batches left to do once the current 2 go out - so still a 
month or two away from completion.

<< Still no sign of any 83-86 shows turning up in huge numbers, but I'm 
still hoping...>>

A few of those to come soon, and more in the unripped pile!

The final stages will be interesting because there are several undated 
tapes which may contain missing sections from partial shows - we'll need to try 
to spot which pieces of the jigsaw go where!

Thanks to those who have been uploading shows over the past few weeks - 
have kept up with downloading everything, but not had much time to listen yet!

Cheers!
