Every programme for 20 people, with the total

Excluding 5% VAT. "Billed for" is the group size the invoice is calculated on. Where it is higher than 20, either the band's minimum chargeable group applies at this size, or a larger band billed at its own minimum costs less in total and is quoted instead. "Per person" is the total divided by the 20 people who attend, which is the figure to budget with.
