Good day

Well from a meeting today, there was an interesting suggestion: the Club is willing to sponsor a certain fraction of the fees our members pay for classes. The money is not just for the Club, but also for the members.

The suggestion is for us to prepare a balance sheet of sorts, to show how much our members are paying & then suggest how much the club can pay per person for these fees. This is a great idea & a definitely a relief for all of us.

So please discuss:

How is the sponsorship implemented? Is it per individual or per class? Ie either the club sponsors each member a certain amount of money, or we pay the tutor straight for coming per class.
Should this be an issue? Is it really right for us to fund for our own education or is it the Club's responsibility to fund part of it?

Keep discussion clean & quick. We need to come to a consensus early, especially after what I've mentioned in this thread.
