Cmon Chas, stop being a cheap b*stard. If you have put in the time then you should know that these types of posts are just going to get people pissed off. As an organizer in the past can you imagine how you would feel if after three years of dedicating your time to highly successful event some one picked it apart because they cant spare £5? The Z008, Z009, Z010 meets have developed into one of the best meets of the year. They were dreamed up and organized by Saz and Andy on the 300ZX-club in their own time and no one ever questioned the donation to a very worthy charity. This is one of the key goals for the Z00* meets, it is a no profit event. You have made it clear that you dont like the field and dont like donating to charity. If you dont like it dont go, I'm sure JAE will suit your needs. As far as how club funds are spent, I've never seen a club as transparent as the Zclub when it comes to disclosing the books.
So, in summary take a chill pill and enjoy the many events that the good peeps at Zclub arrange for us!
