On the 'do it yourself' point
My experience of running nationals 2 years ago (In London for those who can't remember) it is not always a possibility for most of us. Putting on a tourney generally involves going somewhere you either live near now or did do for a long time (eg parents etc) rarely do you think that would be a nice place to go lets see what's around. Consequently not everywhere can do a DIY job. In London I paid �4000 for pitches and made about �500 --On food only-- at �150 per team. Looking elsewhere in London I am hard pushed to find a venue that can accommodate enough cars at a price people will pay whilst being able to sleep easy the night before. Unlike last time when I had to go to sleep knowing that the first �100 profit that food made was just to break even!
Just a sample profit thing in case the wider public care.
