We do, something I bought when I went to AmiGBG last year. I'll sort out a
float via the post office.

Well the cash incentive was more for maybe a fried of spouse of one of our
members who has no real interest in Amiga's.... I didnt mean to make
anyone feel like they are being taken advante of by not being payed.

I could attempt to keep some sort of a record, but I dont think we need
worry about a break event point, we wont get close to it :-)
Also should any remifications arise from the show, I will take all the flack.

If I saw a long future for the group I might tend to agree with you,
though I hate red tape. However Im having serious doubts about my
involvment in the scene.
Not really relating to this post but I just wanted to make it clear I wont
personally be financially benefitting in any way from my involvment with
the show, quite the opposite infact.
It could be my paranoia but i get the feeling some people think im making
money from this, which is not true at all.
