think it gives to clubs because it's doing even more for them now than
CCBN has ever done. Individual members have effectively proved they
don't need their own nationalorganisation any more, otherwise CCBN
membership wouldn't have fallen from 20,094 at the end of 1993 (see BN
119, Spring 1994) to half of that now.

proved his profligacy. Put the two together and you're not far off
financial collapse already.
with the end some time around 2014/2015, after the entirety of CCBN's
reserves have found their way into Welch's account and the
organisation is just a desiccated husk that he's unable to suck
anything more out of and so he's lost interest in its survival.
