Harry are you insinuating that those clubs who don't host tournaments charge higher 'fees/dues' than those who do?



No. I think that if you have a large club with a recreational program and a classic program then you will need fields and field maintenance and lights and goals. That means you will need money. Money comes from several places. Of these are corporate sponsorships, gifts, fees, and tournament revenue. If you do without one of these then the other sources will have to compensate. Otherwise you may use the counties fields and lights or maybe you are a smaller club and do not need a large amount of land. There is probably a lot that I am missing in this but that is my first reaction to doing away with tournaments. The money would have to come from somewhere else.



Your last line is the point I have been trying to prove! Thanks.
