#Beckton - build groups of paying members

Note: still in development - it is a good idea to get in touch before using for real.

Beckton is a tool for creating a new group of paying members, using the Conditional Commitment design pattern - payments are only taken if a target it met.

Beckton could be used for thigns like setting up a new union branch or a new cooperative purchasing group. It uses GoCardless to create and manage payments and Twillio to send updates.
