View Full Version : Full membership question
I am interested in becoming a full member. On the front page it says "all the great benefits Bushcraft UK has to offer by becoming a full member", with a link to a page that has payment links but no details about the benefits. Are the benefits listed anywhere? Have I just missd the right page?

not sure about the benifits but i know that full members receive but i do know that they receive a cool badge

Full membership is really a way to help support the site for about the cost of a book.
However, Tony said in September,
"I think that I've not promoted this as much as I could have, I’ve plans for many more benefits to full membership. I've always thought that people should contribute because they want to, not because they feel pressured into doing so.
The site is getting rebuilt over the next few months (it won't affect things here at all) and when that's done I hope there will be more benefits to full membership."
It does give some additional benefits just now though.
*Access to the Full members forum, which is usually where admin broaches subjects first.
*Permission to sell items in Members Classified.
*Larger pm message box allocation
*Free badge
I've probably missed somethings, no doubt someone will kindly add in for me.
Cheers,
Toddy
There have been some passarounds for the Full Members and also there are some discounts available - 15% at Cotswold Outdoor and 25% off zebra billy cans are two that spring to mind.
And there's the Full Member meet up with admin & mods.
When the BCUK ventile jacket was launched, FM's had the change to place an order well before other members (not FM) knew it was launched.
EDIT: I'm not crazy, I'm still an airplane, post # 747. :lmao:
Seems worth it. Thanks for the replies.

I have just paid my full membership via PayPal however when following the link I didn't get the option to add detail like I usually do and therefore couldn't supply my address :(
Can I PM someone with my address details?
pm Tony or admin and they'll sort it out for you.
Cheers,
Toddy
Email Shelley at Shop@BushcraftUK.com

:You_Rock_ :thanks:
I'm also interested in becoming a full member, but can't find out anything about the benefits, or how to pay and how much. Following the link Tony posted above I get an error saying "Restricted Access":rolleyes:
Is full membership no longer available, or do you have to have been a 'normal' member for a while first?

I suspect a hiccough in the works. Admin is probably working on something there.
pm to Admin and I'm sure someone will get back to you.
atb,
Toddy
Cheers Toody, will do.

This prompted me to think that I ought to join up - I've got a lot of useful information since finding this site in March this year. Even if there aren't any particular benefits to full membership, this site must cost something to run so it seems only reasonable to put something back...
...but the "join us today" link off the home page doesn't work!!! :(
I'll try again another day.

How to get to that link.
Click on User CP in the Control Panel column on the left go down to Miscellaneous and click on Paid Subscriptions (http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/payments.php).

Yep already see your a Full Member. :D
Thanks for the help. Guess I better get back to my paid job now:(

Just noticed my full member status has disappeared! I'm guessing it needs to be re-newed.
I'm quite frankly a little disappointed that there is no notice given or a quick PM asking if I want to re-new my full membership.
Admittedly I've not had the best of days, but as someone who can't afford to throw my money around I have to consider where every pound goes. To the point where I had to cancel my mag subs as I couldn't afford it, but now I'm left feeling like my £ is pretty worthless.
Thanks for that!

IRRC I got an email just before my renewal was due.... is your registered email still current??
Also, i think it was before the major site upgrade which has kept the team busy, and may have caused the automatic notifications to go a bit pear shaped..

Hi
Yeah my contact details have remained unchanged.
Just found out that my Broadband supplier have screwed up as well and now want £150 off me for uncollected direct debits.
I can see something of a financial theme running through my day here!

I dont have paypal and want to become a full member and maybe send a small donation to the site but how would i go about doing this? I'm in Lanarkshire quite alot if Toddy would'nt mind me dropping off payment to her? or can I send cash etc? :confused: :)
You need to speak to Tony about sending a cheque or payment some other way via snail mail, he hasn't been online for a while though so it might be worth you emailing Shelly, via the BCUK shop!
I shouldn't think Toddy would accept payment from you as she would only be able to send it to Tony any how, the mods don't have anything to do with BCUK finances.

Hi Pib,
Sorry to hear about the broaband problem, it's horrible when things like that happen.
On the notification front, the system sends out an email prior to the subscription running out so that people can have a seamless renewal. Apologies if this didn't happen for you, is there any way it could have gone into junk or such?
Thanks for letting us know;)
Tony Hi
Yeah I'm still reeling over the broadband thing. Ruddy people!
I'm not going to say no with regard to the junk question, never say never with IT I think is the key.
But if I'm honest I can't imagine it has. I'll organise the fund for my renewal today, to bring me back up to date.
S_o_r_r_y I came off a bit hormonal the other day, lets just say camels and straws!
Best regards
Paul

Hi Tony :confused:
my membership appears to have lapsed as well, I have been through all my enails and have found no notification. I only realised when I had a note on my pm box that it was full, and I did not realise why untill I noticed I was no longer identified as a full member I have renewed my membership now

oop, I think my full-membership has run out too! I tried finding the paypal transaction from last year in my emails but no luck. Can I double-check it has run out before I renew?
It would be a good idea to send out polite reminders to FM when they're membership is running out, I think it would greatly help to renew support for BCUK :)
