What's Happened to the £3 Voluntary Donations? - Page 5

Simon · 5th April 2007, 12:08

Just to reitterate what JDC has said, I don't think anyone is pressurized into paying to voluntary donation. I'll call it donation rather than subscription on purpose because 'donation' feels a better description of what it is.

The owners of the club have always said this website and the club is absolutely, unequivically FREE - no strings attached. If you want to say thank you, then you may donate. In fact, you can donate ANY amount (big or small), it's just that £3 gets you a fancy red username. You are treated no differently no matter what colour your username is. Everyone gets the same advice, the same forums and the same information, the same Club. And that's how it should be.

About 1 23rd of a rare driver side cup holder, or about 1 28th of a rare walnut gear knob. I could go on but I always get told to stop going on so I won't go on any more.

I'm going off now.

I wonder how much money this thread has raised for the club. Maybe it should be stickied?

I don't think sticky is appropriate Phil, you just keep bumping it will be just fine.

Just reviewing this thread I note that there are no NON donators on it! I’m sure there was when I first looked at it!
