Welcome to this the first regular email update from the Gentleman's Military
Interest Club. As a registered member of GMIC you will be receiving a monthly
email update to keep you up informed of the upcoming changes and improvements to
GMIC, as well as updating you on recent topics of interest. You can elect not to
receive future emails by logging into your account and electing not to receive
emails from the administrator.
Upgrade
The most important
thing to inform all members about is the recent server upgrade. GMIC is now has
its own dedicated server and as a consequence has become considerably faster and
easier to use. If you have been frustrated by the slow speeds and intermittent
service posting topics at GMIC then your frustrations are over. Don't believe me
? Well come back and check us out !
GMIC 2012 Photographic
Competition
A quick reminder that it is the last few days of the GMIC
2012 Photographic competition. Get those entries in for some great prizes and a
chance to feature in the 2013 GMIC Calendar.
Donations
Now
that we are on a dedicated server, costs to keep GMIC running have significantly
increased. More than ever we are relying on donations or even better regular
members to take out voluntary annual membership subscriptions. Essentially we
are a free service, but to maintain that free community spirit does require some
contribution, even if it is not a regular payment. Any donations are very
welcome.
Announcing Advertising
One thing historically I
have always been against is sponsorship in the form of advertising. However the
reality is that to keep GMIC going and to maintain a free service I find myself
between a rock and a hard place. Therefore I am considering placing
advertisement’s that are Militaria related from carefully selected companies and
businesses. My first preference is publishing companies for Military books or
Military researchers. So watch this space. But rest assured all adverts will be
discreet and will not interfere with your enjoyment of GMIC and more importantly
will not compromise it’s independence.
Topics of the Month
In each newsletter we would like to draw
attention to two topics and invite you to contribute Photographs and
information.
Only the Dead have seen the end of war… In
this thread in the “Themes” forum we cover Militaria and Memorabilia honoring
citizens of all nations in all conflicts. From official death notices of German
soldiers, to the watch of a relative killed in action, medals to the Next of kin
of members of the IRA… this thread is a monument to those killed in
action
