	Under FAQ’S Genes Extras Tell me more about the offers You will see three offers at any one time, with one new offer each month. Our partners are offering great discounts on Family History magazines, days out and more besides. There will also be a competition each month. We have got some fantastic prizes lined up for you. Where are these offers and competition actually mentioned on the boards ?

	They only do the Suggestions once a month no, and I think the new Community Manager was introduced to us just a day or two after the last Round-up .................... so it isn't time for an appearance yet :-)

	The last suggestions round-up was on 16th March, when obviously there were no suggestions to round up! Perhaps everyone has given up making suggestions which aren't acted on.

	Well I think that more than 2 weeks they should have put in an appearance by now otherwise what is the point of having that position.

	GB one of them did post last year that it was now going to be done once a month ......... so I guess it was due today :-) It IS WDYTYA weekend, and GR staff would have been busy there in previous years and that would have been the excuse, but it doesn't look as though they even have a stand this year. Pretty poor showing, IMHO Maybe they were scared to go outside London to B'ham :-)

	Never check out the Book Club as they are not the sort of books I am interested in reading.

	I didn't know there were offers regularly on here ..never seen them .. if new members read this thread they will come away with a somewhat negative view of GR is there a way to comment more positively ie what great offers you have had in past + how you miss them or" wouldn't it be nice if we had a similar offer to -------- other site"

	Alisoun everything is not hunky dory ................. and we need to get a response for GR, and to let them know what some long term members are feeling and your last suggestion would not get far before being removed once seen by GR. It would be considered as comparing this site unfavourably with another.

	what about the comments critisising new mananger + complaining they throw negative light On GR too evenif some are supposed to be jokes ! some long term members are voting with their feet . ..eg.my sis not renewing her subs temporarily tempted back by a fantastic Platinum subs offer ; a month well-used (offer came up on Facebook ...or it was an email )
