Cllr Lucas under the heading of the Promotion Working Group
is looking for the tax payer to fund another of her jollies.

She is proposing the  Town Council fund Carol in the Castle
at this Wednesday's Council meeting.

Knowing that each year she put on these events very few people turn
up.

There is no proposal for her to obtain stylish chocolate shot glasses
this time.

Appendix E

Report Author J Lucas

It is proposed by the Oakham Town Council Promotion Working  Group
that an event called CAROLS IN THE CASTLE will be held on the
12th December 2013 7pm - 9pm for the residents of Oakham Town

(the castle can only hold 125 so she might have a problem if they all turned up)

She goes on to say:

The format will be carols, party pieces, readings and a visit from Santa.
Wine, mince pies, Tea and Coffee and squash will be served.

Her estimated costs are:

Hire of Castle £86.  (Use of her RCC contacts have greatly reduced this fee its about six times this for a wedding)

Mince Pies £50

Santa £50

Wine on a used or returned £60

Musician/s £150 If we can get a school band this will be reduced. (cheap child exploitation)

Tea and coffee £3 (must be Tesco Everyday Value!)

Orange Squash £5 (Not Tesco Everyday Value?)

Total Estimate £404

This can be considerably reduced as we do not have the price of musician/s

We are seeking approval to spend the above form the Promotion Budget.

There will be no officer time required as all the work will be done by the
volunteer members. ie Bar/ Washing Up / door person / press release and
posters.
