Don't ever let it be said that Scots are tight with their money. I have always found the opposite to be more accurate.

I find that statistic to be incredulous. The financial burden shouldn't rest on such few shoulders. Come on guys, put your hands in your pockets and make a donation. It doesn't hurt too much. ;)

membership of 689 there have been 17 who's shoulder has been tapped!


I am not quite understanding this :? ? does it mean that out of 689 only 17 have contributed??? if so, 672 of you should be bloody ashamed! we all glean something from this or we would not be here ....... Bite the bullet and cough up :evil:

Happy Birthday BSS Forum - 6 years old last week :o :guitar: :guitar:

So I thought I would bump this topic, as I know Bob would never do such a thing! If you try to contribute once a year to the running costs, now is the time to do it...
