We’ve changed the menu bar slightly to create space for a new website feature – a GFS member exclusive classified Ad facility.
This is a free service for GFS Members. In much the same way as members can presently place a paper advertisement on the bulletin board in the Clubhouse now you can place a notice to members online.
Skippers may place an ad seeking crew members. Crew members can place an Ad seeking to secure a crew position on a GFS Club yacht. Or if you have an item of sailing paraphernalia to sell, this is the place to let other members know.
To add a new classified Ad:
Step 1. Choose the “Member Classifieds” menu item second from the right on the main menu bar and then click the “Place a Classified listing” link located as shown in this screen image.
Step 2 Select the classified category you wish to list under from the drop down menu. Presently there are only three categories available: ‘Crew Wanted’; ‘For Sale; and ‘Looking To Crew’. Click the ‘Continue’ button.
Step 3. Fill in the form with your Ad information. When finished click the ‘Continue’ button. Note you will need to fill in the simple maths question at the bottom to show us you are human and thwart spam bots.
Step 4. Upload any images you would like associated with your Ad. You can upload up to four images. Click the ‘Finish’ button and you are done.
Once your Ad is ready it won’t immediately appear on the site. The following security provisions must first be satisfied.
- A verification email will be sent to you which you must respond to in order for us to verify your contact email address. Your Ad will remain disabled until you verify your address.
- All listings must first be approved by a GFS club officer before they will be published. Only after this officer has approved your ad will it become visible on the site.
- If you uploaded images with your Ad they will also not show up until a Club officer has approved them.
Should you have any queries regarding how to use this service or any other query or comment you may have about it, please contact the GFS Membership Secretary via the “Contact Us” facility in the main menu bar above.
