Before you joined the SRGC forum community did you ...

Watch without registering?
Register and watch from the sidelines?
Join in as soon as you became aware of the forum?

Are you a fully paid -up member of the SRGC?

I joined the forum and began taking part with days of meeting Ian and Maggi for the first time at the AGS Dublin Group discussion weekend.

I'm a member of the SRGC

Hmmm,

I did the first two things:

first I watched without registering and then I registered and watched from the sidelines.

I'm a member of the SRGC but I don't get paid for that! Should I get paid?

I joined the SRGC twenty two years ago - enrolled on the forum in November 2006 (shortly after becoming aware of its existence) and posted for the first time almost immediately. I have been a damn nuisance ever since.

I lurked for a bit, found out about the seed exchange, joined immediately

, and have been a member ever since. Still mostly a lurker though. I've been a member for 3 years now I think and will no doubt be a member until I'm compost.

Joined in as soon as I was aware of the Forum and haven't shut up since

Joined Forum first and then shortly after joined SRGC.

Before you joined the SRGC forum community did you ...

Watch without registering? - occasionally landed on the site searching various plant pix
Register and watch from the sidelines? no
Join in as soon as you became aware of the forum? yes, when I realized it was easy to sign up.

Are you a fully paid -up member of the SRGC? - yes, for 22 years

Have posted many blurry photos in the meantime.

Yes, Mark, but you have started this poll in the open area of the forum so masses of folk will read it, but they can't answer because they are not registered.....

May be a valuable excercise here, though, because it will show folks that you do not need to be a fully paid-up member of the SRGC to take part in the Forum..... but I should remind folks that you DO need to be a Member of the SRGC to take part in the Seed Exchange and to receive the twice-yearly Journal etc.... Aslo, this forum cost money to keep the website open, so if you enjoy the Forum and would like to support it and the SRGC, without whom this Forum would not exist, then why not join up......see this page on the main site www.srgc.org.uk ..... http://www.srgc.org.uk/member/member.html I mention the main site because I have found that some folks find the froum via a search online and do not actually know anything about the main website and the SRGC !!

Hi. I am a member of the SRGC. I registered with the forum when i found out that it existed but still mostly watch from sidelines.

I registred as soon as i had founf the site, which was via Paul's Pleione site. I'm a really lousy alpine grower and would normally not consider joining an alpine society, but the srgc seems to be a bit different and i actually thought about joining the other day, without doing anything about it, yet. Seed exchange is always nice but i always start more in the spring than i can care for during the summer, so maybe it's not that good join

I found SRGC, emailed Maggi, joined, paid the fees, started selecting seeds from the exchange, all in the same day.
Filled out my seed forms and sent them off the next day.
Think I read the forums for a few days and then posted.

Found this, registered immediately, and you've not been able to shut me up since.... much to the chagrin of many here I would imagine.

At the time funds dictated I couldn't afford to join the SRGC, but I have done so since then, then again after a year off.

This time I joined up for 3 years, so I didn't have to think about it for a few years.

I've still never participated in the seed exchange.... I joined as a "thank you" for providing this forum as i get so much enjoyment here and meet so many new friends.

Such diversity, from the modest to the precocious to the downright hyperactive..... I think all human life may be here....

sippa · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:55:49 PM »

Yes I have been lurking for some time. I am now registered and am a member of SRGC. Next step I will introduce myself in the New-be area.
