reefburnaby, a club website isn't a business, so why can some one with shaw cable host it? I think a cable account would be more than enuf bandwidth for a "club" web forum. unless there is something in mind for this website that I don't know about. as for forum software there are freeware versions out there and less expensive versions also, I can check into that.

It is all fine and dandy to want to run out and buy a lot of stuff but I think if a club is going to be formed that there will be a membership dues then all options should be explored and then voted on by the members.

If the club is formed I also think that it should be a regestered organization so that there is acountability, not saying I think who ever is tresurer is going to run off with the money but 10 years down the line who knows who willbe here.. also you can get a cheep bank account that would require multiple sig's on a check to with draw money, so lets say if a expense is voted in the cheque needed to pay for it would have to have the president's sig and the tresurer'sig. There are laws out there that goveren the operation of a organization, I sugest we find a copy of them and check them out, as who knows maby we would be entitled to some sort of start up grant from the goverment, at the least it would explain what we need to Prove we are a regesterd organization to places that we might be seaking "discounts" or "special aarangements" from.
