Keeping track of the finances would be tricky. Someone
will have to manage
the money, and they will be met with varying amounts of distrust by those
who would donate. Maybe a good thing would be to either form a nonprofit or
get one to assimilate us.
And it would need a cool name. :-)
Thoughts?
Not only keeping track of the finances, but what about actual ownership?
I like the club idea but I can just see someone down the road trying to sue
the club for ownership of a particular piece in the case of a dispute. No
doubt there are a lot of legal aspects that would have to be worked out to
protect everyone involved. Then there's the logistics if the club does have
a single repository for storage of the equipment.
I'd certainly be interested in being part of it though. All of us
together could certainly make a bigger impact than singularly.
