[committee] Increasing the price of Coke

[Alix Chinnery]

Strongly against this idea. Or at least the part about putting coke up 
to $1. I didn't realise it was about profit? It shouldn't be. Providing 
a service to club members shouldn't be about profit. Some gain is good, 
sure, it allows us to get things for the club. But a small increment on 
coke prices isn't going to pay for a new computer.
