[ILUG] Help spread Linux in the devleoping world!

Hi Rory,

I was just wondering - is that a _registered_ charity - for tax purposes 
etc...?

I can't find a reference to it.... it might be useful for you to include 
the registered charity number on the website  - for confidence in those 
donating.. :)
