How long will summerwine.net last?

I don't log-on to the forum as much as i used to do, although i do check out what's happening at least once a week.
I look upon the site and indeed the forum as an old friend, i pop in for a natter now and then but i must admit, when i first heard the news that the series was being axed, it felt like i had been told that an old mate had died, you know the feeling.

I'm sure that just as when a friend dies, we tend to look back on some of the adventures we had together over the years.
That is probably how i will feel about summer wine and the many actors who have passed on.
John Comer (Sid), was always a favorite of mine, the look on his face was enough to crack me up, it was a sad day when he "retired" from the programme.
Obviously, many of the others were just as entertaining in their own ways, i still miss Billy Hardcastle with his Robin Hood tales and what will we do when Auntie's shop closes for good?

I hope that the forum continues for many more years, Terry has done a grand job with it and made it a brilliant place to keep up to speed with all things Summer Wine.
I was a member of Summerwine online for many years and i was gutted when it came to an end a few years back.
Of course, it's still there but it's not been active for a few years, due to the lack of financial backing, i really hope Summerwine.net doesn't go the same way.

George ; )
 
Longer I hope than some other fan related groupings. I can think of two or three summer wine fora now gone, and also the Summer Wine Appreciation Society - presumably it still exists but has been very quiet for a long while now.

So full marks to Terry for getting it going and maintaing it...
 
I too was a member of the appreciation society and have not heard anything for years.
I am also a member of the Dads Army Appreciation Society and that is as strong as ever with many events throughout the year. Lets hope at least that Summerwine.net can last a while yet .
 
Speaking of the Appreciation Society, is there any other availability of that Last of the Summer Wine soundtrack CD? What I've seen of it on ebay.co.uk and I think possibly one time on Amazon, the exchange rate from the UK pound to US dollar is ridiculous. Wondered if there was a cheaper way to get it.

Not that sure - the record was produced by RH records - which looks as if it was Ronnie Hazlehurst. It came about from a suggestion of the SWAS ( recall we were asked who was interested as they needed a certain number to make it viable). Dated 1997.

The reference is RH1 5 020679 112120 if that helps
