Sorry house... I don't really see the issue. It's locked down for a month for upgrades. If you don't wish to donate a possible sum of maybe just £2 then simply don't bother.

I can't force you to do it. The site comes entirely out my own pocket. I use no donations for hosting... and it costs me £14 a month atm + board fees + web address yearly subscription. All out my bank... my wages.

Surely a donation to help the site update for 2011 isn't too much to ask.

Sorry for my outburst but i'm a little worn down with all these sob stories about me shutting people out... for christ sake... you have been here coming up 3 years for FREE... I bet you don't think twice about buying a pint down the pub for £2 odd... then maybe one for your friend... well... surely this is a friend / hobby / enjoyment?

I can't convince people to help... but everything we have got so far people always enjoy...

For example...

Site Flags = £600
Gazebo = £100
Graphics for Merchandise = £150

etc etc

None of that could have been done without help from members. I do not charge a membership of the site... but hope people will step up and help out a little.

We are looking to improve the site with loads of new things... i'm working on them during November and to the New Year.

Also I want new equipment for the show season to make us look a really nice outfit.

Leave if you wish... I can't explain any more...
