Blackstar Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I'm wondering how the English and European corps are funded. Anyone know? Budgets, Dues, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kksop17 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The English sell Guiness. The French sell Wine. The Russian Vodka. Well, at least that's how we fund corps up here in Canada eh. Our charity drives usually include dogsled rides, igloo maintenance and beaver grooming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cainan Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Well, I can say that my corps basically lives on ottery Grants (which dont amount to muche believe me). Other than that the members pay dues of £2 per week and staff £1 per week. We have a £10 uniform fee and a £10 DCUK registration fee. We do a few local parades and 6 DCUK shows per year (There are 7 total DCUK contests on the schedule). All of our equipment is very old (our battery is no joke about 7-10 years old) but we make do with what we have. That said, if anyone knows where I could source a cheap battery I am all ears!

sburstall Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I think it has to do a lot with the Canadian ballet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
