Photography forum collapse

There have been some self-organised meet ups too, wandering round places like London, Oxford etc, though they were of a more social than instructional nature (and fun).

I am a mod on a forum that belongs to one of these integrators. You are making the right decision.

Since purchasing the site, they have introduced all sort of schemes to make money...

And that is exactly what we don't want, and said won't happen.
Yes the prices "they" mentioned, have been very attractive,
But from the out-set we 3 agreed that we would never get rich from TP and as long as we broke even at the end of each year, then we will be happy.
So far so good, with the loyal advertisers and of course not forgetting the generous nature of some members donating to the
Buy us a cuppa fund.

There were some meetups in the past, not just for the F&C'ers but anybody, organised by Chris (Cobra)

Covid knocked most or that on the head unfortunately.
Not forgetting the Nutters meet at Whipsnade zoo mid Jan that Covid killed off) The ( static) MEGGA meets were good fun, ( advertisers bring kit for people to try, lectures by Garry and a couple of others, photographic models, both human and non and more ) but sadly the numbers dwindled the last time,
Plus there we complaints from the Northern members about the location, ( it was just off J9 of the M1)
When I tried to assist them getting a more northerly venue, it was a lot harder than the people concerned thought,
and that just turned into an epic fail, sadly.

I would gladly contribute, only I am one of those annoying people with no credit card / no paypal etc... Could I send you €10 in by post ?

That is very kind of you, but all our invoices / transactions etc are e-based. We have no bricks and mortar bank as such.
The thought is appreciated
