How can you not run a bbq, every ground on the coast runs a bbq don't they?

All Great questions, so why don't the clubs stand up and demand openness etc.  There must be something terrible wrong if a canteen makes a loss.  Too many chiefs from the board to HPM and Youth Development DB, both do same job, why do we continue to pay.  A questions for all you club officials?

At $119'652 in wages for the canteen (which should be open say mostly 20 odd weeks of the year or so) no wonder it can't make a profit.

The canteen is open for a lot more than 20 weeks a year.
It has recently been closed due to a health inspection finding that they cant run a BBQ outside (although its covered) or inside (for some stupid rule)
It will be reopening soon, but missing the BBQ.

OK Jimmy how many weeks a year is the canteen open then. ? I would say it was just closed for three weeks over xmas or so. Also please tell me how many hours a week it trades if you know as this is the important question and why does it continue to lose money. ?
I have been there many nights for training when it is not open.
