Flanks I think you are missing the point slightly...trade adverts have been on site for a while but unless I misunderstood why I started the posting??? ...... its about advertising late places and special offers to members of this club at reduced rates that are not available to Joe Public.
Don’t get me wrong the Trade Adverts Section has it place … for example ..if I want to but a new tire.....I go to the trade section and select one of those reputable companies offering discounts to DSC members (eg Wraysbury).
However, if Steve at Wraysbury has the chance to but 200 Supercorser Pro's at a knockdown price and wants to offer them to Board members at £25 pair because they have an expiry date next month !!
...... then the trade Section is useless for passing on that information to the members…hence the members loose out.
