General Notes

The account presented details all items which passed through my bank account.

Subtracting the Carry Forward from the total gives a production cost of £2585.30. Discounting the purchase of videos as not directly related to the mounting of the production, the cost reduces to £1550.30.

All performers who were hiring costumes paid their own direct costume hire costs. Subtracting the actual sum paid for costumes gives a figure for the "Production Overheads" of £640.31.

With 57 people paying towards the overheads, this sum would have been met by a contribution of £11.24/person. Thanks to the fantastic efforts of Bob & Jackie Richards the overhead required was only £2.50/person, since they were able to generate just under £500 profit from the sale of T-Shirts, Polo Shirts & Caps. A big THANK YOU Bob & Jackie!

Specific Comments

The "Donations to Churches" figure includes a payment made to another church hall which was reserved for use, but not required during the rehearsal run-up. Since it may be handy to have other rooms available in the future it was thought a small payment in recompense for loss of revenue was worth while.

Costume Accessories includes hire of wigs/hairpieces (£25.00) and purchase of bouquets for Bridesmaids (£95.00).

The "Donation in Recompense for Lost Prop" was paid to Lowton Operatic and Dramatic Society for the non-return of a four-legged wooden stool. I offered this only after prolonged investigation - the stool apparently "has vanished into air"! The society are quite happy with this and could still be considered as a prop-source in the future.

The "Despatch of Orchestra Parts" item is higher than was hoped since the music needed to be insured, and this was only possible by airmail.

The "Production Team Expenses" includes photocopying of the Stage Plan Booklets (£84.38).

Thank You to all who helped with the production - working many more hours than you would think could fit into 5 days!
