FBH and IHS

[fishboy]

This may put people off joining before xmas:

(Please Note: With immediate effect, membership will now run from 1st January to 31st December)

i think if you pay for a year, you should get a year but it would probably be too hard to administrate.

I agree with this 100%...they are not going to go or stop doing what they are doing...its time to turn the tables, support our reptile clubs...start more if needed..educate some people, and get our side of things across.

I would also suggest, that if they want to play the game of having members on the forum, we think about having some sort of private part to discuss things like this in (how you would prove your not one of them and get access to the private bit I havnt a clue )

It has really cheered my mood no end, seeing everyone pulling together and not taking it lying down!!

I feel a Churchill type speach coming on...so Im going before I type it

It may be worth asking as for new members they might be able to sort something.

hi all, i think it can only help if you are a part of a club or socity. speaking to people face to face helping with advice and like minded people. i'm on the committie for BRAS and is always nice to see new people. were based in east london. the ammount of people that think reptiles are big bad beasts and when they see them at our educational talks and shows it changes people mind set.

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.
Winston Churchill

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Winston Churchill





Never, never, never give up.

Which in turn is used to help them fight legislations, pay solicitors consultation fees etc.

A new FBH website should be in and running again shortly

Sorry mate but you can join directly...

I am a fully paid up member of the BHS, you can even join and pay membership on line on their site here - The BHS - Home

The anti's are building up for a fight again, they nearly won last time, they left us badly damaged last time. We must not let this happen again.

Hi Pete,
With regards to funds for the FBH, I think it would'nt be too unfair to insist that all those that attend this event pay an extra £1 on the door (taking the ticket price to a whooping £3!!!) and also all table holders donate another £5 per table booked.

Without the FBH getting involved and clarifying the law to the vairous councils we may of lost 4 shows this year!!!

Is a few pounds each too much to ask?
