BASSA receives £3.50 (as per year 2011-2012) per month per crew member X 10000 = £35,000 pa.
I really don't know how 8 (if you're on about purely committee) can feast on that whilst also having to run the branch, which isn't cheap. Audited accounts are there for members to view by e-mailing the branch secretary, so once again please get your facts right before accusing individuals of theft.
Bunkum no wonder you couldn't show anyone the accounts! Yours maths are very, very poor when it comes to money.
£3.50 per month x 10,000 is £35,000 per MONTH not per ANNUM the total is £420,000 per ANNUM.
Now I know barbies at Bedfont can cost a few bob and Willie Walsh masks for 10,000 cost a pretty penny but £420,000 per year to run a tinpot little outfit like BASSA not forgetting that UNITE take a bigger share of the pie and provide all the legals etc. even a dingbat like you should be able to manage.
