IPSE have just posted their Financial Statements. Results show another substantial depletion of Members' Funds. IPSE-US funded to the tune of £180k out of UK Members' money. Go figure...

Actually their forums are pretty friendly, if a tad quiet at present...
Edited to add - I just remembered the fourth response, deletion of posts from the forum.

Still not pulled the trigger yet on renewing (with anyone!).
Started to think who else would offer the products/services I'm looking for from either IPSE/QDOS ... and found the FSB website - not the Russian lot
FSB Business Essentials seems a reasonable option - anyone have this or looked at it ??

Originally posted by malvolio View PostExcept they are joining. Look at who is on the MF...Originally posted by wattaj View PostNo. No they're not. As you know, I have seen the numbers and they are not good.Originally posted by malvolio View PostThe MF contains two "traditional" contractors, the rest of them are the dreaded freelances of various flavours. Wonder where they found them, since the MF has to be drawn from the membership...Originally posted by wattaj View PostThere have always been a variety of non-IT contracting members. You know this, so I can only assume that you are being deliberately obtuse. My point is the net inflow of members is negative. These shiny, new make-up vlogers and part-time waiters cannot make up for the traditional IT and engineering contractors that are retiring and/or leaving in their droves.Originally posted by malvolio View PostNo it can't. But i struggle to make that a reason for telling people that its not worth joining IPSE...
