I think this is where Pindie is out of touch with what actually goes on in organising and running ordinary events.
i wouldnt mind betting that only one or two trials clubs in the uk operate "as a buisness" I certainly know that no one in our club is ever paid for the time they put in they are volunteers.
also we run trials at a loss sometimes because we dont get enough entries after the landowner gets paid, so its maybe a loss leader but probably just a loss.
