To the brass-band listees:
	For the past ten years the Warringah Concert Brass Band has been
sponsored to the (small) sum of Aus$2000 per year by the Warringah Municipal
Council. In a letter we received this week, the Council notified us that it
was changing the way it distrubutes arts-related funding and that means we
will no longer be funded as a band, but will need to apply annually with no
guarantees. We are strictly non-profit and barely  make enough to survive on
"play-outs" (performances). This will just make things more difficult than
they already are. We have promoted ourselves to the Council as valuable and
economical representatives of  the Warringah Shire Council at State and
National Contests, as well as at our numerous performances in the Shire
itself. Our words apparently fall on deaf ears. I am told that other brass
bands in adjacent shires are funded annually with much larger sums. I would
be interested to hear from other bands what the "norms' are (if any) for
funding bands linked to Shire Councils or other local government entities.

BTW  $1.00 Australian = about UK 0.50p, USA 0.75c
