According to the Govt. CIC website all assets of a CIC belong to the group that they represent. In this case that would be the community of Dawlish.

Yeah, that has been thought of. Unfortunately I'm no longer part of it so can't answer for the current committee. I have to say though that on 2 previous occasions when the Riders Branch have said that they're coming to something we've had on they've cancelled at the last minute. If that happened under this scenario it would be a disaster. I think what people need to focus on is that you ...

No, they've been asked before. I'm afraid that these days even some of the bands have to be paid.
