I think it’s at the stage where Athletic Community Action Birmingham ought to fully function as an autonomous division in the sense of having its own budget. This wasn’t a practical idea before but now many new people are involved and CB is also running other separate things. This would practically mean that Punch Up members only would vote on PU expenditure (also covering other sports/recreation things we wanted to do in future).
I would propose that Punch Up session attendance is a benefit of all CB members, so everyone should continue to subscribe to CB centrally (as opposed to how
Equaliser works, which has direct subscribers to get membership benefits), and then CB gives the ACAB pot a monthly grant. This should exceed running costs so we can save and put on events, but not exceed membership income so that Punch Up can subsidise future as yet unknown CB projects.
