DBS was built on some core foundations
1. community first. no hierarchy, no jerks, everyone friendly, everyone welcome
2. no PTs, no scams, no challenges, no lies about making you fit in 14 days
3. getting people strong - focus on what works - that's attacking a problem as a team
We need you help to keep these values moving forward (through council bureaucracy)

What the funds are for
DBS trades under a compliant DA, but at times, makes noise beyond the accepted council limits after 6pm. Part of powerlifting is metal plates make noise, and lowering deadlifts isn't the quietest thing.
In our 18 months of trade, we've received two complaints about noise. We moved dead back downstairs so there will be no more.
What your funds can do
In order to continue trade, we need to
- File the relevant forms with council, along with fees, until the change in noise level is accepted, or we move
- If you could find a place, move straight away
The Support
Given we can't predict the outcome of council dealings, or finding a new premise, we're hoping our merchandise is sufficient trade off for your support.
Each contribution gets you a shirt. Grab from the rack on the gym. If you are outside the gym, whatever we can find in your size.

Risks & Challenges
We could get screwed. Council could give us a notice during the process, owner could react to the noise complaint, we might not find a new premise, lots of things could happen that are out of our control.
