Firstly why should every regatta attendee pay extra for a race they most likely, won't do.Kind of like socialism.Screw that.
Nope, if I want the winner getting a bottle of rum I'll buy it for him, not that that would help the Alter cup. So you won't toss in another $5 entry fee so the RC can buy a bottle of rum for the winner?
I'm not a socialist kind of guy, but I see this as more of a support the fleet kind of thing. Just wish the Alter Cup "meant" something like it used to.
I don't think rum would be what USS would spend the money on . More like "office fees" meaning general fund kinda stuff. Just my opinion, but that's the way it usually goes and no I'm definitely not willing to pay more for that. In the past I've had rum arrangements that never worked out. You know who you are.
