Make a donation

Our priority is to make the bulletin available to as wide an audience as possible. However we do also have costs to cover, primarily staff time involved in the production process. And so we invite you to make a voluntary donation - we suggest £10 per year for non-profit organisations in consumer countries and £30 per year for commercial organisations. We do not ask for a donation from non-profit organisations in producer countries.

You can make a payment using the paypal link below, or by sending a cheque, payable to Banana Link, 42-58 St George's Street, Norwich NR3 1AB.
