Evening all
Here's a quick forum costings update.
well its good news again, for the second year running, with your very generous donations, and a couple of Lancaster Insurance commission payments
we have covered this years hosting costs, with enough left to cover 2018, or cover costs for other things to help the forum.
I have attached a copy of our paypal statement and the invoice for hosting and domain name(with personal information removed) from 1st Jan 2016 to now.
the cost to run the forum for Oct 2016-Oct 2017:
1 years hosting with Zen Internet £172.66
Domain Betaboyz.co.uk 1 year £8.39
Total cost for Oct 2016-Oct 2017
£181.05We also own a couple of other domain names, lanciabeta.co.uk lanciabeta.com and a few others, but as these come out later in the year I pay for these as they are not expensive.
as you can see from the paypal attachment, our current balance is £185.13
and the only withdrawal is to cover the forum hosting £181.05
All other costs including, NEC Classic Car show, hotels etc. are paid out of our own pockets.
The reason we use Paypal is most people have a account, and it's good to have all transactions in one place.
Anyone wishing to donate by other means, is also very welcome, please contact me via private message, or ask a friend with a paypal account, anyone can make a donation.
Thanks again for everyone's continued support, this is our 15th year, and look forward to many more years
Regards
Tony and all the Beta Forum Team
