Well I’m only a youngster at 50, so I reckon I’ve made a sure bet at the life membership deal.
oh dear tempting fate, no bungy jumping or sky diving for me.
You'll be safe so long as you don't get onto my VERY long hit-list >:) ... guess who's on the top! :giggle: When I finally feel well enough and have the urge to start working my way down it the membership will reduce a bit ... that's why Jim is increasing the subs now so he can get the funding in before I start 'exterminating'. :LOL:

If you really, REALLY, think that paying an extra £5 a year is a lot, especially when Jim is unlikely to increase it again for a good few years, then you are in the wrong place ... the amount of help and info that is given on this forum will likely save you a heck of a lot more than that.
When I was in hospital in Germany last year I had Funsters offering to drive hundreds of miles out of there way to help if I needed it, one even offered to fly over to drive my van back. (y)

O&A live might suit him better. :rofl:

Personally I think this is disgusting.

Notifying members in advance of an increase in charges that amount to approximately 33%, giving them time to prepare for it, only to then give them the chance to SAVE approximately 11.5% on the current price for next three years on the most accessible term.

How very dare you Jim you should be ashamed.

How small a fraction are the sub payers? I would not mind a £1 pound a year rise and I don’t do a standing order. Think a 33% hike will chase a lot of yearly subscribers away. This the most costly website I belong to. I pay for camper contact search for sites etc and yours is the most costly and basically to communicate with members. I understand running costs but definitely think it’s getting a bit costly

I know from the info I’ve got from from members on here I’ve saved more than the subs.

Also I like when we go to meets or rally’s we get our own “special” area.
Very often close to the action at Warner’s shows.

Just my view obviously and definitely not sucking up to Jim as we don’t always see eye to eye 😊

Who has caused to much upset to a delicate flower?
How have you been offended so?
Surely you haven’t been maligned by any body here.

If you get a knock at the door, that'll be the men in white coats coming to cart you off, (If that's your reason for coming on the site)
It amounts to self abuse, reading Mo's jokes.

I know he’s a powerful force but I’m not sure he’s got that much control in the afterlife 🤔

Thinking about it, can we leave our life membership in our wills.

If so does the recipient have to be a certain age group 🤔😊

Hi Jim Can you confirm the 5 year discount price as it seems at odds with the other discounts, I was looking at the 5 year option but would be silly to do so when the 3 year one offers much better value for money.

Based on the 10 year rate (£11/year) and the 3 year rate (£13.33/year) I would have hoped the 5 year rate would be in the £12/year range giving a price of £60.

I assume I need to make a decision today as new rates come in soon so would be grateful for your view on this please.

Subs have been the same price here for almost 8 years. On Monday they will go up a fiver a year, to £20. This rise plays an essential part in our plans to keep this the very best place for motorhome enthusiasts and continue to make it better and better.

I know from bitter experience this will make some of you moan, 😡but please don’t do it here, if you don’t see the value, if you don’t want to pay, no one is forcing you to, just don’t renew when the time comes. No hard feelings from me. (y) If you pay your subs with a PayPal standing order it will be automatically adjusted to the new rate.

It’s not all bad news, this is the first subs rise since we introduced Life Membership, so I imagine most life members will be delighted with this news. :D

Thanks

Still learning 😊
I think it’s great value for money at the best of times and is part of my waking up routine of a couple of mugs of coffee, do the quiz, see what’s happening with everyone, see if the moaners are still moaning :giggle:

Through this Covid malarkey it’s really helped me stay sane especially when I might have felt a bit sorry for myself. There’s always someone on here with a tale to tell who puts my worries in perspective.

Motorhome knowledge freely and willingly given. Unlimited kindness and support.

We’ve already had 5 weeks away this year in the van at least with another 5 booked all connected to MHF directly or indirectly.

The discounts are nice but I didn’t join for those. We’d been members for years before we bought a new van and took advantage of the Vanbitz alarm etc.
You took the words right out of my mouth 😊. That’s why I have added 3 years to my subscription.
