the problem

the c-base is entirely financed by monthly membership fees.
thus the c-base doesn't have enoughmembers to cover the monthly costs (rent, power supply, etc...), the c-base has to let (lease) the mainhall to people who organise events.
the rent is ca. 4.3k, with electricity and internet it's up to 5.5-6k.
due to a very high back payment for electricity (2.5k) in the end of
2005 and for the basement rooms (2k) in 2006, the debts piled up and the
c-base had trouble to keep up with the monthly payments.
also the german collecting society GEMA repeatedly tries to squeeze
money out the c-base. so far for the how did it happen... more news
coming up.
