Lets keep this in perspective please. Wales has (to my knowledge) never had any funding from the club. This year we decided that beacuse of our very generour members and traders, we would say a little thank you and pay for the BBQ. This decision was not taken lightly. We havent decided what else we will be subsidising this year, its one of the teams things to talk about when we meet up at Wales, so dont assume LakeZ or even a Hoon wont have a similar "thank you".
If people have a problem with the way the funds are distrobuted then take it up with a member of the team. We are not a commitee, nor do you "pay" to use the site (note this is different to donating, which you are not forced to do), and for many years the traders donations barely covered the running of the site. We are now big enough this covers a bit more, and we are working out how it should be best used to maximum effect.
And Sarnie we most appreciated your donations, but you may get a ban if you stop
