I don't know which individual you mean but I doubt that's the case, I'm pretty sure one person doesn't control all the budget and is able to do it without considering the wishes of the membership

Where, exactly, is the merit for the majority of the membership of giving the indoor bouldering team more money? Personally I think the BMC should be able to discressionarily give money to successful competitors, like Shauna and Mina, but the BMC is a broad church and to do that they'd have to take the money from elsewhere. There are probably many more sub paying hill walkers in the BMC than there are people whose main interest is indoor bouldering, I don't know if that is reflected in where the BMC spend goes, do you?
