Fakenham Town Band is a non-profit organisation, run
entirely by subscription-paying volunteers. The band has running costs
such as hire of rehearsal room, purchase & maintenance of instruments,
uniforms & music and insurance. These average approximately £6000
per year.
To contribute towards these overheads, a modest charge is made when
invited to play at events.

band than is typical for the event type

and/or rehearsal
* If there is extended waiting time for the band between sessions
* Travelling distance outside of the normal 'territory'
Events not in the above categories will be priced individually

b) the amount of playing time.
