Also, any activity designed to break even will make a loss!
The only way to run a successful not for profit concern is always to make a small profit and have a mechanism for recycling the proceeds. Anyone who has run events will know all this, but it's surprising how many folk don't.
Some truth in that.
Not a member of the MSCC but I recognise the syndrome from other organisations I am a member of. Usually the result of some one trick pony getting to a position of power and applying his day job skills to the role. In this case it sounds like someone with " management skills". I've seen the same thing happen with a lawyer in charge and the whole organisation becoming legalistic in approach. But more often, and its happening again with one of my clubs, you get someone in charge who maybe is a really nice person but has never run anything before and the club goes to hell in a basket.
I've come to the conclusion that its simply a part of club life and happens to every club sooner or later. Unless they have me running the show of course.
