what? wankers in suits with clipboards trying to look busy and justify their fee?
it just needs those already involved in running activities at the club to work out what activities are going to be run, what immediate repair work and future repair work needs to be done and the costs involved over the length of the lease. then what funding is available.
it's not rocket science.
were you there? they said, DE won't give them a long lease unless they have a good business plan. giving that the people running the campaign are local residents and probably know fuck all about how to run a profitable business plan, and that this is the first step to getting the long lease, i think it would be a rather efficient way of getting out of this clusterfuck. without a long lease, the track won't be resurfaced, the insurance won't be renewed, and it'll close for good, and they'll only get a long lease with a profitable business plan. so there.
edit: seeing that rob said VCL are the people who know how to make a business plan disregard the external consultants thing. whoever it is they need to do it soon.
