Well I'm a bit embarrassed about this.

You lot are so generous.

Bottom line. The site costs about £100+VAT per year to host. My time is the same as yours (free...)

Proposal: How about we run up to £120 and then I close the feature - reopen this time next year?
That way all those that have contributed know that they are supporting the site and not just buying me beer!

Steve...

I am indebted to everyone who's written on this site... I cannot begin to calculate the time / effort / cash the members have saved me. Thank you all... a small donation was money well spent.

But to yourself...the time you give makes the above pale somewhat... so please, take any excess cash & treat yourself; beers, weekend break with the missus.. whatever.

Any groans and offer to pass the job on.. that'll shut 'em up!

Cheers & a genuine thanks,
Simon

On other forums there is a sliding bar to show costs covered at the top of the page.When the total is reached the rest is a bonus for you Steve within reason anything after that is used for competitions and group meets.

I'm a whiskey man myself...

A litre of Paddy's from Shannon duty free was my only perk when I was a corporate airmiles clone in the 80s/90s.

Company 5 Series = gone
BUPA = gone
Big salary = gone

but

Flying around Europe 5 days per week = gone
BA 06:30 from Heathrow on a Monday morning = gone
Missing the kids birthdays = gone

Happier (but poorer)

Hi Guys
Just paid my tenner - not as active on the site but if you solve one problem a year using all you guys knowledge and experience, its worth a tenner of any ones money. And for someone to facilitate the forum is fantastic.
Thanks to all
Phil

That's what Steve Swan of the SandcastOnly site does for donations, he has a target to achieve and then informs everyone when he has got enough donated.
This site is unique in that it's UK based and you feel you are dealing with a bunch of mates you could ask  all sorts of bike and non bike related subjects.

Cheers ... AshD
