We’ve become addicted to cheap rather than good.

I said it before in relation to the guide sites being sold off:

@JoeBloggs

So they say the sites need about £20 mil over the coming years to stay fit for use. My napkin maths:

Lets go with £20M over 5 years, split across about 45000 cadets. So that would be about an extra £7.5 a month per cadet for the next 5 years. Could we reasonably increase our subs slightly (which are amazing cheap in most places as is!) and properly look at out own accommodation/activity sites? The numbers potentially work!

At some point we do need to start becoming more self-sufficient as MOD resources are cut again and again.

Added bold. At some point we really are going to have to work things out for our selves… The funding we get via the MOD, be that direct cash or access to DTE will dry up soon enough.
