I've just spoken to our lovely SPC rep, Charlene and she reckons we'll
more than likely be funded 60% of the cost. Which leaves a somewhat
less bank-balance denting sum of €100 for Drama to cover. 'The Play's
the Thing' is an incredibly cheap production to put on, aside from the
entry fee. Remember that because it's a student written production, we
don't have to pay any performance rights at all. It also involves
bringing only two additional people to Cork, one of whom has already
booked his flight.

The SPC will compare them like that. We want to buy new sets, new spots
and fund our other endeavours. And we always run out of cash about now.
The SPC will not fund everything. Likely they will fund very little,
doubly so if they think we're wasting money.
The solution is simple. Tell Dee it's the opener for the other show and
put it on first. Explain we cannot spend that much on a single skit.
