bibendium Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 didnt realise that you needed to pay to mention a fed sale
VMS Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 didnt realise that you needed to pay to mention a fed sale[/quo I believe this forum advertises more up to date info than any other outlet and as a business should take full advantage of this,but the sudden changes as to sales etc should have been highlited to the members rather than us guessing what's changed
geordie1234 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 The forum only advertises more info because us the members of the forum input that info
VMS Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 The forum only advertises more info because us the members of the forum input that infoAgree but it is a market place and this forum is the main outlet for information

Big Davie Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 crap pure crap members should be paying what it costs to run the fedsFYI, the finances of Lanarkshire Fed were expertly managed for 40 years by the retired secretary Ian Henderson which over this period accrued a healthy bank balance, however can I remind you that last year we committed to purchasing new transportation at a cost of approx £140'000 so I don't understand your attitude that its crap to run a late bred sale to raise some additional funds, the members have and will continue to pay their way for the running costs of the Fed but I don't see the problem with raising some additional revenue towards the cost of our new transporters
OLDYELLOW Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 This site has allowed outside sales and free advertising in the past which has been mainly abused . Due to this abuse and trying to avoid paying the site the site has changed it policy as this site costs to run and rely's on such funding to reduce the sites running costs . This has been mainly holding outside sales and advertising the sales on here , if you were to place a advert in the magazines it would cost a whole lot more . So rather than a free for all the site rules have been amended . These rules have been discussed and are deemed as fair by the Admin team . It's very strange at times these sales aren't fit to be held on site but are fit to be advertise for free . This doesn't help the site and in fairness is not fair on those that do pay to advertise and help with the running cost .

THE FIFER Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 thanks OY, I was just working out a post to put up, I would like to add that in the past week or so the team/mods have had to remove threads which were advetising sales on other sites, even puting up the lots etc and a link to the site, we allowed clubs/feds to advertise their sales in outside venues, not on other sites, they were allowed dates and venues, then it came to puting up the lots etc, then sales on other sites, it was those other sites etc which are getting paid for such sales, we are trying to get things sorted, we must be fair to those that do pay, we allow couriers free as its a service to members as its a big problem with sales getting birds transported, we are doing our best to keep things going smoothly,

While I am on the subject I would just like to commend the new management committee for their drive and tenacity in delivering these for the start of the 2013 season, very well done to all.
BLACK W F Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 FYI, the finances of Lanarkshire Fed were expertly managed for 40 years by the retired secretary Ian Henderson which over this period accrued a healthy bank balance, however can I remind you that last year we committed to purchasing new transportation at a cost of approx £140'000 so I don't understand your attitude that its crap to run a late bred sale to raise some additional funds, the members have and will continue to pay their way for the running costs of the Fed but I don't see the problem with raising some additional revenue towards the cost of our new transportersthen if you need more money u should up all fees to cover it end of
