I got his home town/village in less than 10 seconds via Google. A little more effort (or even just a letter sent to Geoffrey Hopkinson, {insert home town}) will get results. I'm not a big fan of reporters (you may have noticed). Especially those who hope for others to do their work for them...

How about: Welcome the member to the forum, keep the donation and thank him for it, explain the non-commercial rule and let the member know that they are welcome to request/place an ad in the beekeeping directory. There is a For Sale/Wanted subforum. The first post I looked at in there (a 2009...
