Show Budget
By Karen Lawrence
The following budget is based on a 6 ring, two day show with approximate 250 entries and assumes that a club member is acting as the entry clerk at no charge to the club other than reimbursements for expenses. The largest variance in the cost of this "proposed" show and your own budget should be in the price of the showhall. This proposal assumes that tables/chairs are included in the cost of the showhall. If they are not, the anticipated cost of renting tables/chairs must be included. This sample budget is meant to be used only for a guideline as to what should be included in your own club budget. The variables in prices across the continent may change the numbers drastically.
