did not realise that the club had to make a profit from the rallies.
Well I think the object is to try and get as near to a break even point as possible.
My own Branch generally makes a loss on out Rallies (we once made a small £20 excess) and some years we have made quite a loss and it takes a while to try and get branch funds back to a reasonable level to be able to fund the event, but we have never had a large reserve in the last 10 years or so its normally only in the £600 - £800 range in a good year and thats normally only after the years subs have come in like many other branches I expect, so after our monthly newsletter and venue costs we are not exactly rolling in it, and we still manage to fund raise for a local charity every year on top of this, so I really appreciate the effort put in for the National and the reasons for trying to cover costs but this is of course is just my personal opinion.
Cheers

After having judged cars in all conditions for the last seven years, I have become a bit of a realist Kevin. However when showing, the weather never kept my car, concours or otherwise, away from a good show
