The only problem I forsee is "theclub" wanting a forum it can control.
Funding the club could be helped with advertising revenue, but a none forum website is unlikly to generate huge traffic and click revenue.
I could host a website for nowt, althought my upstream bandwidth is limited. Saves the cost of hosting until the club grows. But don't ask me to design a site
. For anyone thinking of doing the design I run a LAMP system. If somoen can make sense of Joomla Sections and Catagories then it's a quick way to a usefull site ( my
www.claytune.org.uk site shows the functions and my lack of webskill )
