Hi Folks,

I have some news for you. I am handing over this thread to Bridlington1. 

This is mainly because my priorities in life have changed with the recent arrival of a baby daughter. Although I have enjoyed creating this thread over 17 years ago and keeping it up to date since then, I would rather spend more time with my family right now and I imagine you can all understand this. The other reason is that I think Bridlington1 will do an amazing job of taking care of this thread!!!

We have agreed that tomorrow Bridlington1 will create a new thread based on the first page of this thread and then I will ask the moderators to close down this thread. I would entirely support Bridlington1 making any changes they wish and in particular changing the interest rate thresholds used for inclusion of accounts on this thread.

If you are a forum moderator and reading this message, then I would be grateful if you could post a message here or send me a private message as that will make things easier for me tomorrow when I need to find a moderator to close down this thread.

I would completely agree with the post by dcs34 on page 1675 suggesting adding the new Coventry BS Loyalty Seasonal Saver 6% (variable) account and also the post by Bridlington1 on page 1678 suggesting the addition of multiple other accounts (caused by the change in interest rate threshold that I suggested). I do not think I will have time to update the thread tonight or tomorrow so I will have to leave it to Bridlington1 but I think that is helpful in case Bridlington1 feels like changing the interest rate thresholds as that will affect the suggestions posted on page 1678.

I will do another post tomorrow but let me take this opportunity to thank everybody who has participated in this thread and made it so successful over the years and thank Bridlington1 for taking over the thread!

I can only echo Gers and offer my congratulations on your new arrival and a big thank you for the time and effort that you have devoted to 'your' thread.  It has been instrumental in helping a lot of us optimise our savings investments and I for one very much appreciate it.

I'd also like to pass my congratulations on the new arrival and tender my thanks for your excellent contribution over the years. 

Bridlington1 does an incredible job as a contributor, an absolute backbone of the Savings & Investments section. He will do a splendid job of holding the reins, so don't lose any sleep on that subject - you'll be losing enough for other reasons!

Best wishes to you, your OH and the daughter for now, 2025 and the years to come.

Re the closure of this thread... will it be 'searchable' still?

And to add my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to @Special_Saver2 — and of course good luck and thank you to @Bridlington1!

@Special_Saver2 a million thanks for all your work on this thread in it's various incarnations over the years.

@Bridlington1 thanks for agreeing to take over.

@Bridlington1 could I make a suggestion?  How about two new threads. 

One only to be used to provide information about when new accounts become available, become NLA, or when interest rates changed.  Purely informative. 

The second to discuss the accounts themselves.

Perfect time to start a NO CHAT RS thread and a separate RS discussion thread.

Once the old thread is closed you will be no longer able to add new comments to it but the thread shall remain available to view and search and a link to the old thread shall be included in the first page of the new thread along with links to the previous iterations of the thread that were maintained by @Special_Saver2.

Thanks for the suggestion @Nick_C. I shall not be creating a new no-chat thread.

Instead I plan to rebrand the existing Archived List of Regular Saver Ts&Cs thread and run it parallel to the main regular savers thread to accommodate this function, the way this shall work is detailed below.

The main regular savers thread shall include a list of the currently available regular savers listed on the first page similar to the current regular savers thread we are posting in now and shall continue to be used for any discussion regarding regular savers as this thread is now.

A post detailing recently NLA accounts shall be included at the end of the main regular savers list, when this post becomes long older entries on this list shall be transferred to new posts in the new regular saver thread and a link to these posts shall be included on the first page of the Archived List of Regular Saver Ts&Cs thread.

Whenever a new regular saver is launched, goes NLA or rate changes are announced I shall make a post detailing the changes in the Archived List of Regular Saver Ts&Cs thread, in essence it shall serve the purpose it currently does but take on the additional function of being a defacto no chat regular saver thread.

The Archived List of Regular Saver Ts&Cs thread shall be renamed to something along the lines of ``The Archived Regular Savers History Thread" and shall be marked more explicitly as a NO CHAT thread as this thread has expanded beyond just regular saver Ts&Cs since it was launched last year.
