BHW on line

just a thought the BHW on line version is £49-40 a year there are about 8 regular members which would be just over £6 a year to have it on here it would also maybe bring new members if this can't be done please say so it's just a thought it also i think come out on a Wednesday please check the price 

not sure what you mean george, how do you mean about putting it on the forum ....?

as a topic ? we would have a link to it each week

I think you mean so everyone could read it?

Don't think it would be accessible to multiple users only the purchaser with log in and password otherwise everyone would be at it? Not sure computer/internet stuff not my area of expertise.

if anything like that did happen i`d need to make a private section so visitors / none members couldnt see it .......it would be for members only, or when new members joined .

would it encourage new members David

Think you are right David, not going to let a third party see it for free.

Even think the RPRA would not allow it even where it only open to site members.

Best bet (not my idea,was put forward ages ago,) fanciers who get it every week, put their used copy in a public place where other magazines are for the public to read whilst waiting their turn.

not saying i am but what if i were to pay for it would it then be a good idea even if it was open to anyone

There are ways round it George, some fanciers got the BHW others the RP and exchanged them every week.

Said to be 20,000 copies sold every week, RPRA membership less than 10,000 ??

Nothing to do with anyone what you do with it after you buy it.

Interesting numbers so what would have the numbers been there over all Misty back when in the glory days so to speak on average, roughly speaking.

just bin mine don't think postage any cheaper than buying it

if members wanted to look into this idea and put it on the forum for members to read, then i am in agreement, the rpra etc can go f....... them selves, they have no power on here .

Had another look Knackered.

Latest numbers, they never put a date on nor take old stuff off the internet you have to go through a jungle to get up to date.

Apparently the latest numbers sold each week is 10,000.

The BHW was founded in 1933, the RPRA took over ownership much later,
cannot remember when, but at the time there was some dispute regarding not asking the membership if the RPRA should take over the publication and Iwas one of the most vocal ones, not because it was not a good idea but because the
Clique decided and not the membership.

Would think in it's hey days the vast majority of members would purchase it and
go down proportionate to lost members.

That being confirmed with the membership now around 10,000.

SAD.
