About the cost share:
Take Oct 4th 2025 as an example: 16 players at 3.5 pounds each .
Income: 16x3.5 = 56 pounds.
Costs: court rent 3 courts 2 hours ,
6 units at 8.5 pounds each,
so total 51 pounds
Shuttles: 2 new shutles plus 3 used ones
so total about 6 pounds
Exception: one player not charged because of the drama.
One player still yet to pay
Balance: 56 (income) - 51 (rent) - 6 (shuttle) - 3.5 (unpaid) = -4.5
.i.e. the club lost 4.5 pounds on the day
HSB can have a tiny bit margin if full 6 players (also at 3.5p each player) for each court. HSB shall uses it to covers the exceptions and try new shuttle kinds .e.g. NCS et al.
HSB still has two tubes of Yonex 2000 white shuttles requested by a member but rejected by others. This is another kind of Exceptional costs
