We currently have over 2500 forum members, most of whom live & work in the UK & Ireland.
Nigel & Andy have a SHOP which following the lastest link hopefully will be used more often by members.
My suggestion idea has really been highlighted by the "Lets raise funds" to help the forum running costs, which i would say is a great idea, but it might be easier if we had a section listing ( or whatever ) what members could offer, be it there company goods, knowledge or individual expertise etc etc.
If they wanted to charge or not charge, that would be up to them.
With 2500 members we must have a vast amount of knowledge, which may just may be of benefit to someone else.
To give an example :
I have spent 38 years in the submersible pumping industry, so i know a little about pumps, water - sewage ( Sewerat ), pipework, control panels & electricity etc etc. Now i have my own small ( v/small ) company doing contract work with the likes of Scottish Water.
Say a member in Devon may have a problem, he or she could look up the list, then call & ask me about it, & i may or may not be able to help ( same as we do on Surf's).
Others may offer a printing service or design work etc etc.
So i'd like to open a debate to see if members are interested in having a section listing their "Company or Individual expertise or specialist knowledge " which they are willing to offer either on a cost or free basis.
It's up to you guys.
Then hopefully if there is a good reponse Nigel & Andy may take it up.
