No its legit. EarlyBay are emailing members of their forum to ask for donations supporting them, a bit like what we do here.
There’s been a link for ages maybe a year trying to get £3000 sponsorship, they have got under £200 I think , I suspect they are a bit keener now
They’ve had a few packets of werthers originals off me over the years We better steady on a bit though We’re all aging and The late bay ain’t exactly a youthful place
going rate for the earlybay support request , it is somewhat different to the latebay support and i cannot see any voluntary sum that you can name yourself . It would be a shame for the forum to fold , i am sure they are doing their best to survive , lets hope they succeed.
