1. Introduction
1.1 This report presents details of applications received for project partnership funding, programme partnership funding and festival partnership funding in the financial year 2006/07.
1.2 Prospective festival and project grant applicants for 2006/07 were invited to apply for this meeting enabling them to plan ahead with some certainty over their funding and to ensure that Hampshire County Council funding is credited in this advance publicity.
1.3 Press releases were posted to Hampshire media in order to publicise the festival scheme more widely and to provide equality of opportunity to Hampshire festival organisers not already known to the council. Applications for this scheme are detailed in Appendix 3 along with project and programme funding applications which are being considered for commitment from next year's budget.
2. Legal Implications
2.1 The County Council is able to utilise broad powers under the Local Government Act 1972 to provide financial support for the arts. In particular, Section 145 of the Act enables the Council to contribute towards the expenses of doing anything necessary or expendient for any of a number of purposes, including the provision of entertainment of any nature, or the provision of a theatre, concert hall, dance hall or other premises suitable for entertainment. The powers include the ability to contribute towards the development and improvement of the knowledge, understanding and practice of the arts.
3. Financial Details for 2006/07
3.1 The initial base budget for 2006/07 is £67,000 as shown in the table below. The budgets are currently being planned. It is expected that funding will be available for the recommended festivals and project awards, but final allocation will be conditional until the budget is confirmed.
Project Partnership funding £22,000
Festival funding £11,000

Two for One Partnership funding £10,000
Total £67,000

3.3 The financial details of the budget are found in Appendix 1. Confirmations of the budget for 2006/07 will be forthcoming in the new year. It is recommended that these allocations are confirmed as having 1st call on the Partnership Funding budget and can therefore be confirmed after this decision. The papers in Appendix 3 show details of all applications.
3.4 Funds to festival organisations are not released until satisfactory accounts for the previous year (where appropriate) are received.
4. Project Partnership Funding
4.1 The applications for the support of the arts projects are listed in Appendix 2 and include specific requests for £7,000. The papers in Appendix 3 show details of all applications.

5. Festival funding
5.1 Applications for funding have been received by 21 festival organisations. Having assessed the strength of the applications, proposals to the value of £30,600 have been identified that could be supported.
6. Programme Funding
6.1 Due to the shape of one of the festival applications , it has been suggested that funding should come from the Programme funding budget, to the value of £1,000.
7. Impact Assessment
7.1 No groups or organisations should be excluded from any benefit arising from these decisions. A new application procedure is due to be introduced from 2006/07 which will include equalities monitoring information as agreed as part of the corporate review of grants programmes and procedures.

Applicant Mr Tim Wills Bishop's Waltham Festival
Local Member informed of project:
Councillor/s P. Mason
Purpose For Which Assistance Is Sought
The annual festival is run and managed by volunteers from the rural community of Bishop's
Waltham. Events are open to all and pricing structures reflect the committee's determination to
ensure access for all. Local volunteers ensure a high standard of customer service supported
by professionals with a wealth of knowledge and experience. The style of management and the
local venues used continue to break down the conceptual barriers around the arts. The festival
presents a diverse programme, both participatory and performance, based over the 7 days. The
programme will include music, drama and visual arts. Integral to the festival will be events for
and by young people (e.g. children's theatre matinee and youth bands night). Other events
have an appeal to older audiences (e.g. the Sunday afternoon concert). For those dependant
on public transport the festival provides evening cultural events that are not normally
accessible to the rural community due to lack of public transport. Above all the aim is to foster
participation in the arts through bringing high quality events into the village and remove all
perceptual and real barriers to enjoyment and participation.
Supports the Corporate Strategy by:
1. Maximising life opportunities, through providing accessible opportunities to experience the arts. 4. Building strong and safe communities, by working together and participating in a local event.

Applicant Mr Richard Davey Eastleigh Music Festival
Local Member informed of project:
Councillor/s K. House
Councillor House confirmed that the Eastleigh Summer Festival is not linked to Eastleigh Borough Council, who are going to organise their fourth music festival at Fleming Park in 2006.
Purpose For Which Assistance Is Sought
The organisers of the Eastleigh Music Festival are proposing to organise a similar festival at Manor Farm Country Park. Previous Eastleigh Festivals have included artists like Jools Holland, Will Young and Dionne Warwick. Funding is sought to pilot a festival at Manor Farm with a range of arts events including concerts, street theatre, music, song, dance and circus skills workshops. Outside the main festival days there will be a series of community focussed events, involving young people, using the infrastructure set up for the festival. Recreation and Heritage will fund up to £20,000 in support of these activities. All of this is aimed at raising the profile of the park.
Supports the Corporate Strategy by:
1. Maximising life opportunities, by allowing the Hampshire community the opportunity to experience well known national and international artists. 4. Building strong and safe communities, through bringing the community together in a local event.

Additional Comments The organisers are requesting funding of £25,000 from Eastleigh Borough Council, but this is only likely to be forthcoming if the event is to be held at the Fleming Park site. It therefore looks as though there will be two festivals in Eastleigh in 2006. We recommend a grant of £5,000 to the festival at Manor Farm Country Park subject to the event;
i) Being called the Manor Farm Music Festival.
ii) Not clashing with the dates of the Eastleigh Festival.
iii) Recreation and Heritage to agree the content and format of the festival in advance.
iv) Ownership of the name Manor Farm Music Festival and any use of it to belong to Hampshire County Council.
v) Subject to a signed legal agreement between the County Council and the promoter.

Additional Comments The festival has been running for some years and has been supported by
various departments of Hampshire County Council since 2003. In 2005 the budget for the festival was £23,000 of which £10,300 was spent on arts activities. The arts programme was contracted from Winchester Hat Fair which organised the programme. The organisation would like to include a similar programme using the same contractor for the 2006 festival. The festival is a free event and attracted an estimated 10,000+ people in 2005. At the time of application no other funding sources had been approached and the programme for the festival is not confirmed.

Applicant Ms Elaine Clarke Havant Borough Council
Local Member informed of project:
Councillor/s
Purpose For Which Assistance Is Sought
Havant Summer Arts aims to encourage community participation, showcase local talent,
promote professional performances and raise the profile of the arts across the borough. In previous years Havant have produced the 9 days in May arts festival but it is hoped this year it will
be expanded. In previous years the annual Emsworth Arts Trail has taken place as part of '9 Days in May', in 2006 this will be extended to Waterlooville, Hayling Island and Havant to give more local artists the opportunity to exhibit and open their studios to the public. The programme will also include a number of adult art and craft workshops in partnership with Making Space and an exhibition at Havant Arts Centre. Street Arts (June/July), a varied performance programme of professional street entertainers and local groups to entertain the shoppers at Waterlooville Precinct. Music (Jul/Aug) a series of free Saturday afternoon music concerts in Havant Park to celebrate the park's regeneration. Previously a four week programme of outdoor activities has been run called 'StreetSport'. In 2006 Havant intend to work with the Sports Development Service to add a range of physical and creative arts workshops to complement the programme. Workshops will include street dance, circus, MC/Djing and graffiti style arts to decorate kites and skateboards. The festival will end with a children's day in Staunton Country Park, this will include free performances, workshops and will encourage local people to visit and discover this hidden treasure.
Supports the Corporate Strategy by:
1. Maximising life opportunities, through creating an opportunity for the whole of the community. 2. Stewardship of the environment, by encouraging people to discover Staunton Country Park and making full use of the environment. 4. Building strong and safe communities, through engaging with local people.

Additional Comments Hampshire County Council has consistently supported the 9 Days in May festival in Havant. The new approach is signalled in the Arts Strategy recently adopted by Havant Borough Council. The result is a larger scale event over a longer period of time, within allows for greater opportunity for engagement and higher levels of visibility and impact. The shape of this project suggests that funding from the Programme budget is more appropriate.
