Pledge drive:
To raise £45 for an automatic welding mask, like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0034BHBUO
The automatic mask should make welding much easier for us beginners.
It has a lens that switches incredibly quickly to a dark shade when
you start welding, and clears when you stop, making it easier to line
up the rod and protect our eyes. With the traditional masks you have
to hold them out to one side or flip a shield up and down.
I pledge a tenner. Any one else?

Boom £45!
Please pay your pledges ASAP so that Marcus can purchase the mask. Pledges can either be transferred to the account as normal, or paid in cash at the space to any board member.
We have already had Tom's and David's payments.

Update on the welding mask: David (deejak) has found a local
supplier. We're just going to check if their masks are up to spec.

I've just placed the order for the welding mask, should be here for Wednesday.
In the end i went with this one
http://www.gwe-ltd.com/www.gwe-ltd.coms/info.php?p=11&pid=2097440&ack=9
Cost was a little more but, it has a better viewing area, lighter in weight, than the hobby Draper
The board also agreed to a second leather apron and a 6x6ft welding screen
So time to get the pledges in please.

I've added my "paid" entry to the wiki. The payment was back on March 12th, if anyone wants to go looking through the accounts for it.
