[MR] Out of pocket expense

[David Ritterskamp]

Alsandair:

The flip side of everything you just mentioned is that if I, as an officer 
of a group, spend money on something for the group, I'm entitled to submit 
it as an expense and be reimbursed.  There's no reason a prospective Youth 
officer couldn't do the same, and frankly I'd *expect* them to do just that. 
  And I'd further expect them to be cheerfully reimbursed by the group in 
question.

Regards,

Jonathan Blackbow



There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, 
or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction 
of a new order of things.
-Niccolo M.
