To be honest, no they didn't.
Under ordinary circumstances you might expect the club treasurer to notice that the money hadn't been taken. The issue is that Flanks, our treasurer, has had his priorities elsewhere for the last few months since his parents were both involved in a very serious RTA and he's spent more time visiting them in intensive care than scrutinising the DSC bank statement. Under those circumstances I think we can cut him a bit of slack.
We've got contingent plans in place to take care of club finances in Flanks absence but without the information that Flanks has at his fingertips we're not able to act in 'real time'.
Ordinarily we wouldn't need to either. The fact is that it's a one-off set of circumstances mostly caused by the ISP's failure to exercise their mandate, the club's 'failure' to notice and the timing with which they chose to pull the plug - which meant that before we could definitely verify what the problem was, and do something about it, the weekend was already upon us, leaving Monday as the only option.
