I can confirm that there is no further liability on the British Music Society than those costs which you have set out. It did indeed finally transfer that Alan Hacker was paid for by us, as part of his week in York, but that Jane Manning required a special fee for her participation. I hope that that clears everything up now. Thank you for all your help in presenting these concerts as part of the Festival.

Could you let me have a break-down of this sum please so that before paying these, I may check that the invoices which you have so far sent to me, are correct. (Incidentally Raymond is under the impression that Jane Manning was to be paid by you and not by the B.M.S.?). Are you able to say what the balance of takings due to the B.M.S. will be and when I am likely to receive this? I ask this mainly because Richard Phillips is anxious to know as quickly as possible how much of the Yorkshire Arts guarantee the B.M.S. will need. Yours sincerely, S Hon.Treasurer.

EXPLANATION YORKSHIRE ARTS ASSOCIATION GUARANTEE OFFER TO CORPORATE BODIES a) A guarantee against loss is a commitment, by the Association, to underwrite a particular event or series of events up to an agreed maximun. If, when the final accounts are drawn up an overall lose is shown, the Association will pay a balancing sum provided this does not exceed the limit of the offer contained in the attached letter. Payment cannot be authorised until a certified balance sheet has been submitted to the office - this should be forwarded as soon after the performance as possible. b) A last-call guarantee is sometimes applied when the promoting organisation has already been offered guarantees from other sources (i.e. the local authority, NFMS etc.) In this case the Association's commitment applies only to the deficit remaining when all other forms of subsidy have been taken into account. Again, payment cannot be authorised until a certified balance sheet has been submitted showing, in the income column, all the other grants or guarantees that have been received or promised. CONDITIONS The offer of financial support contained in the attached letter is subject to the following conditions: a) That broadly speaking the estimates as presented be adhered to. Any radical departure from the forecast of expenditure could invalidate the offer. b) That proper acknowledgement of the Association's support be incorporated in all publicity, press armouncements and other printed material connected with the activity. The preferred form of wording is: "This (event) is organised with the support of the Yorkshire Arts Association". d) c) That a full and business-like record be kept of all receipts and payments connected with the activity and that an authorised copy of the final balance sheet be submitted by your Honorary Treasurer (or other responsible official) as soon after the event (s) as possible. That if a claim has not been received within three months of the event taking place the guarantee will have lapsed. /Continued

The dead-line for copy is the 10th of the month prior to the one in which the event is taking place. Financial support is not limited to societies or organisations affiliated to the Association. However, as a gesture of solidarity and good will, organisations in receipt of subsidy may wish to join the subscription is modest in relation to the service offered. Membership details will be supplied willingly on request. c) A brief acknowledgement of this letter and acceptance of the conditions it contains should be sent to the Association to ensure Formal that the money is reserved in your organisation's name. application for payment should not be made until after the event Please and should be accompanied by the necessary balance sheet. quote the schedule number at the head of the offer- letter in all future correspondence about this application.

TO BE PUT BEFORE THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING, York Festival & Mystery Plays PRESIDENT: H.R.H. THE DUCHESS OF KENT ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: GAVIN HENDERSON. ADMINISTRATOR: PHILLIP GILL Raymond Fox, Esq., 1 St. Saviourgate, YORK YO1 2NQ. 16th September, 1975. Dear Raymond As you know, we are still encountering difficulties in getting the projected series of Saturday morning string quartet recitals off the ground for the 1976 Festival. Following your committee's decision not to accept the invitation to provide a means of promoting the concerts, we referred the matter to the Yorkshire Arts Association. I gather that they have since. written to you, and there would seem to be indications that they would be able to provide a guarantee against loss on the whole series. In the light of this information, I would like to ask whether there might be any possibility of your committee reconsidering this matter. Much of the information I gave you in my letter of 11th June still stands, though we have discovered that the Friends' Meeting House would be acousti- cally unsuitable for such concerts, and we would now suggest that they be held in the Guildhall. Furthermore, Alan Hacker's dates as a featured artist have had to be cha ed and he would be playing with the Medici rather than the Lindsay Quartet. The maximum cost of fees for the four quartets would be a900, and the two soloists (Hacker and Jane Manning) should amount to no more than a further £100. I would not, in fact, be surprised if these costs could be covered by box office income. A further £50 should be estimated for publicity. I believe that you were a little concerned about the inclusion of Elisabeth. Lutyens music. As Miss Lutyens is being termed a featured composer in the Festival, as it is also the year of her 70th birthday, as she will be in residence at the University during the next academic year, and, last but not least, as she is one of the world's most distinguished woman composers, we would be extremely sorry not to see her music included in this series. At the same time, I should perhaps point out that we were not suggesting that the programme should be overloaded with Lutyens: in fact, I believe I am right in saying that there are few appropriate pieces available and most of them are short! I do hope that your committee will be willing to reconsider its decision: we should very much like to see the B.M.S. involved in this way in the Festival. 12/6 Madrie (4) Philly With ali best wishes, Yours sincerely, S Comilty Sin Shipmond 2 1976.
