The ECF's costings though are based on raising 85%*9*18 from this group of players, so they become about £ 120 in the red.Alan Walton wrote: if players are only playing a couple of games a year, and decide not to pay membership the ECF aren't really losing that much (say approx £2 per player), so if one player pays £18 in this group it would negate 8 deciding not to bother, does seem to be that major problem
You give up Game Fee, about £ 60,000 a year, you reduce Direct (ie full price) Members down to £ 18. Where are they projecting to make up the shortfall? From MO members by increasing their price to £ 18 and from non-members by increasing their previous Game Fee based amounts up to £ 18.
