I suggest that this is one of the things that changes. These meetings should be self financing.
We have to be careful here. Suppose the calculations re: self-financing are done on the basis of previous numbers attending meetings. Then the price to attend the meeting would naturally rise. This will result in a drop-off in numbers attending, which will mean the price rises again, etc. Much better to do a phased introduction of this, if it's to be done. Personally speaking I'm in favour of meeting attendance being as cheap as possible "for the little guy" but I can understand the rationale behind not desiring subvention of one class of attendees (or non-attendees) by another.
