You can supply them with an account name and number, but that brings in
security aspects (eg. Nigerian money laundering schemes), so I guess you
have to trust to whom you supply these things.

It's probably worth considering, but for the amounts we are talking about,
maybe just an informal kitty that the 'treasurer' maintains, because banks
will be sucking on the account with account-keeping fees.
The ideal situation for NSW and VIC people at least is to hand over cash to
a designated person at a LegOz.
With trading happening, maybe out of NSW/VIC people can factor these things
into their trading.
