Our annual hosting fee is now due, and I once again humbly ask for your assistance.

Hosting costs alone have soared to approximately $800.00 annually. Like everything else, they have been escalating significantly each year. In addition to the regular hosting costs, I retain the essential services of a professional security/maintenance firm to monitor the site and assist with any technical issues that arise. In short, it has become an increasing financial burden for me to maintain the site after nearly twenty years.

As our regulars know, the BGC is 100% member supported.

So, if you enjoy visiting the BGC, please consider a donation at your earliest convenience. This can be accomplished in minutes in the following ways:

Paypal: beatgear@gmail.com
Venmo: @Mark-S-Barnes

If neither of the above methods are convenient, contributions can be mailed to:

Mark Barnes
108 Stafford Ave.
Waterville NY 13480

No amount is too small, and any contribution will be most gratefully accepted. At the end of the day, this is your space. To those who've been in a position to assist with the heavy lifting here from time to time, thank you so much...this hangout will not continue to exist without you.

May thanks, and I wish you all a pleasant holiday season!

Mark

Is PO Box 86 still OK, or is 108 Stafford better?

The latter, thank you. The former was my law office address, but I retired in 2023.

At the moment the amount due each year is 800.00 USD to keep the lights on.
If 40 members kick in just $20.00 we would have the $800.00 in no time.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Tried to send to Beatgear Cavern via PP, but it says

"There's a problem
Sorry, this recipient can’t accept payments right now."

However, it worked to send to "Mark Barnes."
