i've been aproached by a organisation organising a march to celebrate the opening of a new temple in an area of johannesburg known as 'Lenasia' and while i'm waiting to find out how many riders will be interested in taking part, i started wondering how do u go about charging for taking part in a parade?
do u just assume that it's a civic thing and do it as part of civic duty? do u charge a flat rate? per km? per rider? do u charge extra if u have to wear/provide costumes?
I personally would not charge if it were a holiday parade or I was representing a non-profit organization. If I was going to be used as a sponsor tool for a business though I would charge a flat fee......say just $50-$100......nothing major
Our club has been in two parades so far (we just started offering to ride last summer). So far we have done it for free as we "always wanted to ride in a parade" and as we had a lot of fun doing it. I like the idea of asking for a donation to your club if the parade has a budget.
I have started the negotiations for our club riding in the Canada Day Parade in Ottawa (our nations capital) this summer and I will be asking for an "honorarium" as the government is running it and I know that they have money! If we get paid I will use the money to buy another club unicycle.
