I thought people might be interested in hearing of the results of the NSW
twichathon. The following is from Frances Czwalinna, the NSW coordinator.
The twitchathon money has apparently been matched with $10 000 from the
Australian National University in Canberra.
Anyone like to volunteer how much was raised in the other states?

Dear Twitchathon participants present, past and future!
The total received for Birds Australia's 2001 Twitchathon was $14,000
(actually $13,990.85 and I put in the $9.15 to round it off nicely!) As I
won the prize for the most money raised by an individual within NSW/ACT
(that total being $1345 - without the $9.15 above), the rounding off is
the least I could do for SNAG's 2001Twitchathon! The Cumberland Bird
Observers Club won the prize for the club whose members raised the most
funds ($3,566.30) and this prize was presented to the Cumberland Club at
its February meeting.
My sincerest thanks go to all Twitchathon friends, Cumberland Bird
Observers Club, members of very many bird clubs and members of Birds
Australia for helping us to establish such a fantastic seeding fund to get
our Cowra woodlands project underway! It is one of those wonderful
moments in a Twitchathon Coordinator's life!
