If only that were true. I don't know the figures for this year, but back when I was club president in 2000, the union budget for ALL clubs AND societies was £22,500ish - and they really weren't interested in the paintball club enough to give over almost a quarter of the budget. I can just about recall being absolutely over the moon at an increase over the previous year of about £150 to take the budget up to about £800ish.
Like I said, I don't know what this years budget is, but I'm damn sure if it was £5k (about $9000 to our cousins over the water) the club and team wouldn't have slid into virtual non-existence this year.
