In my question, earlier in this thread...
'So we, the public, can try and evaluate the worth of the project, are you saying that the costs involved for the whole flash mob dance is £1,000.00?
Absolutely no other funding costs?'
The reply (in post 230) was...

This doesn't appear to be the actual cost though, despite that very clear answer.
According to page two of this link, the actual funding cost was ...
Total budget £1,160
Dance prep x 1 day £100
9 groups @ £15 per hour £810
Performance co-ordination £100
Admin £150

I agree with you. The whole point of flash mobs is they cost nowt to put on, even the ones attracting thousands of people. Certainly they don't cost the tax payer a penny to arrange them.
It does leave many people pondering why the funding costs of the Victorian Swimming Gala are to be kept secret...until after the event.
Surely it can't be that we'd be shocked as to the costings?
We'd all keep that in mind, realising funding is relative to the worth, when working out the 'value to us of public funded art', like the swimming event.
