Hog Programme 2011-12

Hog will continue to support villages on the scheme with up to a maximum of £780. There will be some adjustment to fees to minimise the financial risk for those who opt for more adventurous programming and also all children’s shows are ‘Hog extras’ which are in addition to your £780 allocation.

Although the deadline for submitting your booking form to us is 17 June, it is advisable to start booking with the artists as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Please contact Susan or Nadine if you need any assistance with your bookings or have any questions. Again this year we have secured specific dates with some performers and companies but if you are interested in booking other dates, please contact us.

If there is a company or performer you have had before and would like to invite back, there is no reason why you cannot contact them separately from Hog. Details are available on the Previously seen on Hog page.

Ticket Prices

This year ticket prices will have to be included on the booking form when it is submitted before we can confirm your funding. This will ensure all the relevant information is available in advance for publicity and for the web listings. Concession prices for young people and ticket prices without food should be offered where appropriate.

Making the Most of your Money

An example of a possible Hog Programme.

1	Tangram	Fee £700	Box office income: 70 at £12	= £840
2	Budapest Café Orchestra	Fee £850	Box office income: 70 at £12	= £840
	Total expenditure	£1,550	Income (minus expenditure)	= £130
			Plus Hog grant	= £775

Based on the above calculations you would now have £905 (£130 + £775) and you could also have a children’s show as an Extra.

Remember Hog Extras are in addition to your £780 grant allocation.

Thank you for your co-operation and we hope you have an enjoyable and successful 2011-12 Hog the Limelight Season.
