Ralph: Hello?
Paula: Ralph, it’s Paula.
-
Hi
-
You know I told you we could apply to
the local council for money for our drama club…I’ve got the application form
here but we need to get it back to them by the end of the week. I could send it
on to you-you really ought to fill it in as president of the club-but I don’t
know if it’ll get to you in time.
-
Well, you’re the secretary, so I expect
it’s OK if you fill it in.
-
Yeah…but I’d really like to check it
together.
-
Right. That’s fine.
-
Like the first part asks for the main
contact person-can I put you there?
-
Sure.
-
Right. So that’s Ralph Pearson..and then
I need your contact address, so that’s 203 South Road, isn’t it?
-
No, 230…
-
Sorry, I always get that wrong…Then it’s
Drayton…do you think they need a postcode?
-
Better put it-it’s DR6 8AB
-
Hmm mmm, OK…telephone number, that’s
01453586098 isn’t it?
-
Yes
-
Right. Now, in the part of the form I
have to give information about our group… so, name of group, that’s easy, we’re
the Community Youth Theatre Group, but then I have to describe it. So, what
sort of information do you think they want?
-
Well, they need to know we’re amateurs,
not professional actors… and how many members we’ve got
-what’s
that at present – twenty?
-
Eighteen … and, should we put in the age
range, that’s 13 to 22?
-
No, I don’t think we need to. But we’d
better put a bit about what we actually do… something like ‘ members take part
in drama activities’.
-
Activities and workshops?
-
Ok.
-
Right. That’s all for that section I
think.
…
-
Now, the next bit is about the project
itself – what we’re applying for funding for. So first of all they need to know
how much money we want. The maximum is £500.
-
I think we agreed we’d ask for £250,
didn’t we?
-
OK. There is no point in asking for too
much – we’ll have less chance of getting it. Then, we need to say what the
project … erm, the activity is.
-
Right – so we could write something like
‘to produce a short play for young children’.
-
Should we say it’s interactive?
-
Yes, good idea…
-
Right … I’ve got that. Then we have to
say what we actually need the money for…
-
Isn’t that it?
-
No, we have to give a breakdown of
details, I think.
-
Well, there’s the scenery.
-
But we’re making that.
-
We need to buy the materials,
though.
-
OK. Then there’s the costumes.
-
Right. That’s going to be at least £50.
-
OK. And what else … oh, I just found out
we have to have insurance … I don’t think it’ll cost mach, but we need
to get it organized.
-
Yes … I’d forgotten about that , and we
could be breaking the law if we don’t have it. Good think we have already got
curtains in the hall, at least we don’t have to worry about that.
-
Mmm. We’ll need some money for publicity
-otherwise
no one will know what we’re doing.
-
And then a bit of money for unexpected
things that come up – just put “sundries” at the end of the list.
-
OK, fine. Now the next thing they want
to know is if they give us the grant, how they’ll be credited.
-
What do they mean, credited?
-
I think they mean how we’ll let the
public know that they funded us…they want people to know they’ve supported us,
it looks good for them.
-
Mmm., Well, we could say we’d announce
it at the end of the play. We could make a speech or something.
-
Hmm, they might prefer to see something
in writing…we’ll be giving the audience a programme, won’t we-so we could put
an acknowledgement in that?
-
Yeah, that’s a better idea.
-
OK. And the last thing they want to know
is if we’ve approached any other organizations for funding, and what the
outcome was.
-
Well, only National Youth Services…and
they said that at present funds were not available for arts projects.
-
Right, I’ll put that…and then I think
that’s it. I’ll get that in the post straight away…I really hope we get the
money.
-
I think we’ve got the pretty good chance…hope
so anyway. Thanks for doing all this, Paula.
-
That’s OK…See you soon…Bye.
-
Bye
