OK I am going to say that YES UKS will stay open for 2020!

While I think the sponsorship payments will cover most of the expenses, those who asked about donations, now would be the time. It is always good to have a cushion and the big unknown is the revenue from ad clicks on the Google ads. That has been dropping steadily over the last year or so to the point I get a payment only every other month because the amount does not meet the threshold for payment.

On the other hand, while in past years I have had problems getting invoices paid even when people said YES initially, I know this set of sponsors have never let me down, so that is one really positive note!

I am hoping it won't be required but I am committed to covering whatever (hopefully small ) shortfall we might have. But obviously if there IS a shortfall, it'll be a good indication of how next year might go.

So big thanks to all the sponsors and please SHOW them how much you appreciate their commitment to UKS.


Roll on 2020!
