Not everyone can afford &amp;pound;30 too, and if they can they may not consider it worthwhile to join.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also of course see the perspective of Gold Members who see that &amp;pound;30 a year to be in the draw automatically every month is stupidly good value for money - but there is also the element that they are supporting the site that we mustn&amp;#39;t forget. We sincerely thank them for this!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All that we aim to do is keep on giving the paying members the level of service they deserve, and welcoming the Bronze members as members of the BeoWorld community. It&amp;#39;s not &amp;#39;us and them&amp;#39; but simply &amp;#39;us&amp;#39;.. We are all members of BeoWorld, and valued ones at that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lee&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;PS - Yes, they are great prizes aren&amp;#39;t they! &lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-61.gif" alt="Laughing" /&gt; - I love choosing them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: July prize draw!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/19512.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jun 2007 16:25:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:19512</guid><dc:creator>Peter</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/19512.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=19512</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;To re-iterate, everyone is welcome at Beoworld and will get exactly the same level of attention , certainly from me. We have a number of members who cannot upgrade for reasons of geography or other reasons and they are just as much part of this community as I am. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those who join as Gold members&amp;nbsp; do so for a variety of reasons. I have done so to support the site and in fact have asked that my name is not included in the draws. I also pay a bit more than the suggested fee. However I am very aware that not everyone is as fortunate as I am and will be starting their B&amp;amp;O collection with older equipment and are not in the position to fork out large amounts of money. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their participation in this forum is very valuable and makes this place the friendly environment that it has become. This is the primary reason for this sites existence and will remain so. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So remember, if you want to win prizes and can afford to support the site, join as a Gold member. If you simply want to join the friendliest site on the Internet, come as you are!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-61.gif" alt="Laughing" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: July prize draw!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/19501.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Jun 2007 15:47:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:19501</guid><dc:creator>Tom</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/19501.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=19501</wfw:commentRss><description>sorry, I (we) understand you!

Its a bit much to say no gold no go. If having bronze members is a problem then bronze memberships should not be on offer. Beoworld offers bronze memberships therefore I don&amp;#39;t think they complain that everyone isn&amp;#39;t a gold member.
