Until the Club decides to make the forum exclusive to members, might as well get some $$ to help with the upkeep right?  IMHO, a win-win for all. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />Kamion, I was also part of a motorcycle club forum who runs via a donation system to fund upkeep.  Seems to work well there too.  Maybe that is a good model to adopt?</blockquote>
