i been in practicly in exactly the same situation few years back!
once again revamped club "needed" a website and so we went to do a work for them. my partner must I add at that time was handling all the discussions, etc and over few months it didnt move anywhere, so i got sick of waiting on him and went hard at them...
week later the site was up and running, I handled all the domain set up, hosting for them.. at the end I got fuck all money for the work I did considering I did 98% of all development.. and after I didnt really wanted to deal with my partner anymore on the business side of things.. and friendship gotten worse too!
// another advice.. dont always do flash sites! you can design a perfectly beatifull html website with a great clean design and layout...
first its about design and not some technology wing bang! only a select few flash sites deliver great results.
if you still in partnership with your partner, give him a call and arrange a meeting with the client. if the Club is expecting a free design mock ups .. in your turn you can expect a lot from them too and make them work for you!!!
get architects scetches on a cd that the club has probably got, and find out all the information thAt they will require on the website. be really firm with them!
"If you want this, I need this" approach! Here is a date when I expect to recieve all the information/ content from you if we wont recieve this info by this time we will charge you for the work that we put in. Sooner or later you will have to have a contract with them of some sort, right? Start one early!
// Clubs are really horrible with payments too! They will screw you left and right, Im not saying all of them like that, but majority have that tendancy.
Good luck anyways!
Let us know how you go!
