Malcolm
I want to say how very sorry I am to hear of your wife’s illness, and wish you both all the very best for the future; I’d also wish to extend my personal thanks and gratitude to the SD team for running such a wonderful site for these many years, and its continued flourishing is testament to how well it has been and continues to be both run and received, all thanks to your joint dedication and wise stewardship.

Thank you.

Steve

@sikamalc, sometimes you just have to put family first.
Best wishes to yourself and Sandra for the future.
I'll always be grateful to you for what you and your co-owners did to launch my daughter @Mouse on her career in the deer industry, and I'm sure she's not the only youngster that's had a helping hand up the ladder from this site.
That in itself is a fine legacy of your time at the helm of the SD.

Thank you Malcolm for all you, and your colleagues, have done over the years.

Having had Cancer (Throat) myself I can appreciate what you and your wife will be going through, I wish you both all the very best and hope for a happy outcome.

Should you feel you want to talk, shout or just sound off I’m available, I’ve been there.

Best wishes Rob.

Malcolm - if Sandra gets the care and attention that you’ve put into the site then she’s a lucky woman.
All the best with your personal life and the sale of the site.
And ‘thank you’ from me.

 

[Rake Aboot]

All the best to you and your missus during what will be a tough time.
Family comes first

Thanks for running the site. I’ve found it seriously useful and have met some extraordinarily nice people through it.

Hopefully it will be bought by someone who intends to carry on the site in its current format.
I’d be interested to know how our data could be used by future owners though.
I’ve always kinda assumed it was safe cause it was privately owned and not exploited for income.

 

[GN01]

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this site. Hope all goes well for you and yours.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am now at a point in my life where I have to devote all of my time to my partner Sandra, who has been diagnosed with a rare cancer. Obviously my time is going to be spent tending for her, and with really not knowing what the future holds I have decided to put my 40% share of the site up for sale.

I gave a heads up to my two colleagues, John and Alex (JAYB and csl) last week that this might be the case. They also mentioned that they would not stay if I left, therefore their part of the site 40% and 20% is also up for sale, so there is potential for us to sell the site as a whole to the right interested party. Or in 3 seperet lots.

The site had around 700 members when we first purchased it around 17 years back. Now with a growing membership of 36,000 plus it is the premier site for deer and deer stalking in the UK. It is an investment that has served all 3 of us well, and no doubt will continue to grow.

We are NOT going to put a price on here, this would be by private negotiation, although its not going to be given away, so only serious inquires please. And confidentiality is required.

In the meantime, we carry on as normal, nothing will change, and I would personally like to thank all of you for your support of the site over the years. You can of course contact me via PM. Please excuse me if I don't answer straight away.

Regards
Malcolm (Sikamalc)

Sorry to hear that Malc. Hope all goes well for you both
