Hi everyone,

Over the past couple of years we’ve had times where members/visitors to the site have made an additional voluntary donation to BFW that goes towards our running costs, mainly the annual web server hosting. The yearly hosting fee is quite hefty as I insist on using a UK based business who have hosted the site for the past 20 years. Their support is in the UK and have always been very reliable (touch wood).

A few members have recently made fresh donations for 2024 so I thought it would be a good idea to create a new thread in case any others felt like helping out with the hosting fees for this year.

If anyone feels they would like to help out this year, here is the link:

Anyone who has made a donation to the site gets a different membership rank which shows as "Senior Member and Supporter".

Many thanks in advance for any support.

Hi Andy ,
Have you thought about making it a members only site ? I look at the viewing figures and it's normally 10 guests to 1 member on here. It's a fantastic forum, and most members would im sure pay at least £10 a year for the running costs. Donation done 👍

I'm not speaking in any way on behalf of Andy, but an annual subscription would mean a colossal amount of admin work and time, and I mean colossal. I currently have over 10,000 emails related to BFW as it is :oops:.
