All of Clydesite is now free to view - no subscriptions. The sites are supported by advertising and voluntary donations to help with the server costs.

To join is quite simple. Send me an email ( bruce @ clydesite . co . uk - join it up of course, I have split it to prevent spam robots hoovering it up!). Include your first name, surname, your home or business telephone (please, no mobiles) and where applicable your website address.

Why this way? This assures you that all of the people who are on our websites are who they say they are, and furthermore, having their contact details is a safeguard against bad behaviour or illegal activities. Our family of websites is just that, one huge family and we pride ourselves on our conduct on the sites. In time you will feel you know everyone very well and can trust them. Ensuring only genuine people sign up to our sites preserves that rather unique atmosphere.

An automatic registration system can lead to abuse and unwanted visitors, this is why this more personal approach works.

So, join in today and I will get back to you with details of how to log in.
