What was it bought for and who actually received funds? Is it a case of like Golf clubs whereby if you are a member and say they sell he course all the members share the proceeds.

PetrolTed was the originator and owner, as already stated until 2007.

Or maybe rather than naively jumping to an answer that you like you read into it a bit more.
So yes in certain circumstances Golf club members can have a windfall from sale of the club - hence my minor question in this situation being a membership. No need for anyone to bring in religion into a question of sat nav issues for guidance.

Why would people who where members of PH when it was sold to Haymarket receive money from the sale?

That's not Christ. You can't ride a bike in sandals and robes.

As beefy says, it’s a bit like when a golf club gets sold.

Best decision I ever made was opting for payment in bitcoin.
