Hi everyone. Chris the M.B.P.A. web manager/creator here.
Bit of a life update...
Basically I got made redundant after 23+ years in the same job. Don't worry, this isn't an excuse to get the violins out. 
It's just one of those things and honestly it's fine. I've gone self-employed as a "Geek-for-hire" (chrisrowemedia.com) primarily to stop me going insane with boredom, daytime TV, and to prevent my wife eventually losing it with me and there being a suspicious lump in the allotment.
I will, and can absolutely still afford to, maintain the site as it's a passion project. But it's not especially cheap, especially with the server costs and keeping the plugins that form the backbone of the site up to date.
I've thought about adding a fundraising link to the site for a while, but I've never really got round to it. But since the change in my circumstances I've looked at it again, so...
I've finally pulled the trigger (as it were) and signed up for Buy Me A Coffee.

If the site has given you any benefit, and far more importantly you can afford it (the world isn't helping at the moment eh!), dropping a couple of quid/dollars/yen into the coffers would really be appreciated.
If not, or you just don't want to, honestly that's 100% fine. It'll always be free and I'd be incredibly happy if you just to enjoy gazing at these amazing snares and dreaming. (Pretty much what I do on a daily basis ).
Either way, thanks for reading, and all the best from me and mine, to you and yours.
Chris
