Jan, as a Limited Company, DPPT can issue shares and each £10 sent in with the share application form and a proof of residence/work has purchased a share in the DPPT. We have been very clear as to what those shares will entitle the shareholder to and also about what happens to the money raised through the share issue if, in the end, DPPT is unsuccessful.
I personally believe, and all the indications lead to the conclusion, that DPPT will be successful, but there remains a chance that we will not be. However, it is my job as Chair to promote DPPT for all I'm worth and to be confident both publicly and privately that DPPT will realise a successful outcome. Those people who have so far purchased shares are the pioneers, people who are willing to take a small risk with a small amount of money to hopefully ensure that the outcome that they would like to see actually happens. I know of many more people who are supportive, but who wish to wait and see what the final outcome is before they commit themselves...success has many fathers, failure is a b*****d
