For an event that relies so heavily on volunteers, I feel a bit uncomfortable with this blatant asking for money

Volunteering at University of Stirling this week and Livingston before the x country the week after. That’ll get me 25 volunteers. |

And the central pot isn't used to help new events which are struggling to meet their £5k start-up fundraising target, which - apart from covering some signage, some tokens, and some fabric items already part-funded by sponsors - also goes into the central pot; because we don't get given a computer or timing equipment any more. |

I thought they were looking to do away with pots per event. In fact I think I put myself forward to be involved with that discussion (but haven't heard anything). Anyone have more info?

I've heard nothing yet. I've also offered my take on it.
