Now just if BIG wasn't quite so expensive..... it started as your group is, as free.... sigh....

The Canberra group does its best within its means, and we try to keep costs to a minimum. However, lack of a charge (or a minimal door charge) means that we limit our range somewhat. We've had some excellent speakers this year- but I'm afraid we're going to exhaust the range of people who will speak at minimal cost. And there have been several times when we have been caught short, and have had to contribute out of our own pockets- well, mostly Mr Ed's pocket.astroboy said:However meeting points such as the SYD, CBR and MLB groups promote are still at no cost (let alone annual membership fees).
We obviously have something flash happening here that is worth a premium.
What ever happened to a get together of a few like minded people over a beer or two in a relaxed atmosphere ???

BIG, as I understand, by charging fees, are able to offer a much more ambitious program.
The Canberra meetings came about to fill a hole when a group called Freestylers (which was nationwide) stopped functioning. The group was good- but even $160 pa per member was not enough to keep it solvent.
