ooooooh

You'll have me crying if you keep this up <3

I've met some lovely people here, and enjoyed the boards tremendously (most of the time lol).

I'll wait to see if GR get back to me.

:-D

Money is tight at the moment, but if they offer renewal at last year's price I MIGHT renew.

As I said earlier, we've had no income for weeks, and now we have big medical bills to pay. We have insurance, so the hospital bill wasn't too horrible, but all the extras (xrays, MRIs etc etc) have mounted up.

Lady Scozz I'm really sorry to hear you may leave can understand your reasoning but why not write and tell them it is far too dear for you they seem to have all sorts of prices I'm sure I never paid that in June will have to check :-(

Different rules for different places & people?

I'm in Oz, been a member since June 2005, and have always paid annually.

This year is the highest price GR have ever asked me for. I'm not buying!

:-D


I belong to clubs of all sorts, and usually the longer you are a member, the cheaper the subs, because they care about long-term members and want to keep them. The usual thing....... the "fixtures" look after the newbies, show them around, introduce them to people & make them feel welcome. What does my local social club cost me? $5Aus a year! :-D

I have been a member for over 10 years now and I always get a very good deal. Couple of years I have had to write and ask for a lower sub, but they have obliged over the years and been very good to me.

Is it because I am so pleasant and never get into anything controversial :-S ;-)

Seriously, LadyScozz, I do hope they can give you an offer you can't refuse.

The increased subscription charges have been mentioned on here since December....some have had their subs increased by double some have not....If they had said in December that everyone will have to pay the same as from now, it would be fair.....but it seems to be hit and miss about who is going to be charged more and who is not.

When I joined there was no yearly sub so had been paying £7.95 - £9.95 every six months....now they want £12 which is minus the 20% so would work out to £24 a year....where as a new member can take out a yearly membership for £19.95 without any discount at all

So it goes to show GR are not interested in keeping their long term members

It hasn't just been this year, it's been nearly twelve months of things going wrong, from small things to enormous upsets, coffee pots blowing up is minor, relatives dying is enormous.

I've enjoyed my time chatting on the boards.

In all this time I've never reported anyone, and thought I had a clean slate as I had never been reported, until today! Somebody ignored the warning on the "R" thread (which clearly states there are risque stories) and reported me! How pathetic.

If GR see reason and charge what I've paid EVERY year up until now, I might renew, but not a big jump of an increase. Without the 20% "discount" the fee more than doubled ($15.98 to $33.96Aus).

:-D

Ladyscozz, I will be very sorry to see you go, as everyone will. You have had an awful year, but your sense of humour still shines through.
Whatever you decide, I wish you and your OH all the best for the future.
