Just enough money in Quanta to go out with a big bang and not a slightly
pathetic phut!
How about, invite all the Quanta members to a last hurrah, a weekend of
celebrating the QL reaching 30, an achievement in itself seeing as it died a
death twenty seven years ago at retail. Enjoy your show, celebrate the QL's
30th because as I see it, fast forward a few short years and the pot will
naturally be almost empty and that'll be that, lights out.
So, £3000 should cover the basics for the party.
What's left in the pot, throw it at that last QL 'pacemaker', one which draws
in interest from outside, a QL on a board, retrofitted into a QL case, able to
run at QL speed, GC speed, SGC speed up to super speeds, use Kickstarter or
whatever to raise cash. Just do it, what have you got to loose, well, apart
from a slow lingering death for the QL that is.
Anyhow, clearly you shouldn't make me treasurer !!
On the contrary I think you would make a good treasurer and we are
looking for one next year (;-)
Seriously I think it is not long before we have to consider winding up
Quanta. I hope that follow QL Today's example - make a firm decision to
close and then go out with a bang.
When we finally stick the knife into Quanta let's blow some of the
capital with a bloody good wake!
Best Wishes,
Geoff
