Valid points Ropy and Weeyin.
I'm very much open to both routes, but the devil will be in the detail and will emerge in good time. I'm greedy as I do want more investment in our club but I also want our long term future safeguarded.
I'm still unclear as to the involvement, active or otherwise, of the Society in the external investor discussions and no doubt that will eventually emerge in the wash. It would be absurd, to the point of being incredible, if there hasn't been any at all.
If the external investment route proves to be a dead end then the Society really needs to come up with a credible alternative which is based on much more than fund raising events and bucket collections, valuable as they are.
