Forum Donations

Another way of raising forum funds is to have an auction where someone puts an item on a thread and the highest bidder wins. Usually the item is left on for a week and the seller pays postage to the winner. Have not done this for a while and we used to have some fun at the same time too. Have mentioned this to Jim. Great to see so many responding to this thread. Jean.
 
Hi jean
Sorry but to me it Sounds habit like EBay you have to watch the copy rights here
Best wishes Alan,,,,,
 
Hi Alan they are usually old Birmingham history memorabilia. Nothing like ebay. Anything that helps raise money for the BHF.
 
This is exactly what we are about to do Jean and Alan. There will be an auction starting this coming Thursday on BHF. And sorry no, I can't yet reveal what item we'll be auctioning. Keep those eyes peeled everyone!

Meanwhile, if anyone still wants to donate, these are still very, very welcome and each donation helps this site enormously. All you wonderful people have made a great effort. THANK YOU. Viv.

Dear all


Lots of us on this forum get much pleasure and knowledge from being part of this great site. It exists purely through the efforts of volunteers and those who regularly donate to its funds. Thanks go to those members who continue to make regular donations. This along with the meet-up raffles, are a welcome contribution towards the cost of running BHF.


But gradually over time, as less donations have been made, funds have fallen painfully low. We as a group can change all that with a small donation. If, like me, you've been remiss in donating, please could I ask you to kindly donate a minimum of £2 (or more of course if you wish !) by using the orange 'donate' button at the very top of the BHF home page.


Thank you for reading this and for your support in helping to secure the future of BHF.

I know this is a bit like asking, 'How long is a piece of string' but how often do you need members to donate to keep this fantastic forum going? I have donated but presumably you don't want me to do it just once.
If I donate what I think the forum is worth I'll have to take out a mortgage.

( Donating anonymously is like wetting yourself in a dark suit. No one knows you've done it but you get this warm feeling).
 
what a smashing post actongrumpy:)..words like this make all the effort we make to keep us running smoothly worthwhile..simple answer i think is donate when ever you want to..once a month..twice a year..once a year it is entirely up to you...but as the tv advert says..."every little helps"..thank you for your support..

Done ... I used 'PayPal' as a guest because I have no PayPal account. Very quick Email back from PayPal confirming.
 
Hi all. If anyone would like to contribute via cheque, please send postie a message using the Inbox button above on the blue bar next to your name. Once in the Inbox you will be asked to Start a Convesation and insert 'postie'. I'm sure postie (Jim) will get back to you with details.

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Hope thats ok with you Jim. Viv.
 
Hi Lyn, regarding "Every little helps" ,my father used to say " As the old lady said as she peed into the ocean !" doe's this somehow tie in with the TV add ?
Cheers Tim.
