20th September 1999

Dear J. and H.,

I am concerned that the Gold Coast has been allocated to pay a contribution ($380) towards the satellite broadcast that does not correlate with the number of people likely to contribute the requested $20. On top of this we will be seeking another $100 for the cost of the venue for the evening. When I compare the allocated figures for other areas with the latest (July) statistics for people with knowledge attending video events as collated by Nick Koshnitsky I see that the Gold Coast allocation is up to 5 times higher than other areas and 3 times higher than Sydney and Melbourne. The Gold Coast allocation is much greater than any other major local area.

Kind Regards

A.
