18 — THE PLOWING. MATCH, SUPPLEMENT
Funding the IPM:
The Match is not a moneymaker
While organizers always
hope an International
Plowing Match will make a
profit, the fnatch isn't a
moneymaking venture,
If that seems a con-
tradiction in terms, it's be-
Cause both the Huron Plow-
men's Association and the
.Ontario Plowmen's As-
.49Ftation are non-profit
organizations. ,
Also, the provincial and
local organizations have dif-
ferent financial re-
sponsibilities in staging a
match.
The Ontario Plowmen's
Association receive the
revenue from selling the
space to exhibitors during
the match.
The provincial or-
ganization however, has to
guarantee the county or-
ganization the direct ex-
penses of staging a match.
The county group received
its, revenues from the gate
receipts collected during the
actual mt.+. itself, which
means thct'local organization
has a far greater potential for
bringing in revenue than 'the
parent body.
The problem . arises when
bad weather -or other dis-
asters result in ,, a poor
turnout.
That's when gate receipts
drop, and the Ontario. Plow-
men's Associaton has to ball
out the county organization.
Last year, when the Match
in Frontenac County was
rained out, the provincial
organization turned over
$115,000 from its reserve
fund to the county or-
ganization to cover expenses
of staging the rain-plagued
match.
The budget for the Inter-
national Plowing Match in
Huron County this year has
been set a $160,000, and the
provincial organization
guarantees direct expenses
up to the figure.
Some of the expen .se
incurred in staging the match
are $30,000 for an
advertising campaign, over
$50,000 for installing hydro
on the site, $11,200 for
installing telephone service,
over $10,000 to provide
Johnny-on-the spots and
$35,000 in prize money for
plowmen.
If the 250,000 people ex-
pected at the match do turn
up, and it is a profitable year,
the local Huron County as-
sociation is reponsiblc for
covering all the expenses of
staging the match.
Then, if there are funds
over and above the expenses,
they pay members of their
various committees mileage
and per diem rates for the
meetings they have attended
over the past several months.
Finally, if there are still
funds remaining, as there
were in the case of the
successful match held in
Bruce County, the local
plowmen's association can
use the money for projects
in their area.
In Frontenac County; since
the match lost money, Com-
mittee members never did
receive any renumeratinn
But as Carol Armstrong,
said nobody goes into a
match thinking about what
you'll make.
"It's people working
together and it brings the
people of a county together,"
You can't measure that in
dollars and cents.
