How to Figure the 6 Mth. Limit for Booked Host

[byrd1956]

A guest booked a show from a host whose show was July 23, 08. Was the 6th. month time limit up at the end of Jan. or the end of Feb.? I remember contacting the home office about something like this a couple of years ago and they were actually giving the host to be an extra month compared to how I was figuring. I just want to make sure I tell the 'future host' the correct information. I have already made so many calls and feel like I have been a total pest, but she has never committed to following through. Thanks for your help.

It would be the end of January.August-1st month
September-2nd month
October-3rd month
November-4th month
December-5th month
January-6th month

If the show was July 23 than the host would have until the last day of January. July 23 - Jan 23 and then HO allows until the end of the month.

I thought it had to be 6 months from the Show date and not til the end of the 6th month. Can someone clarify that?

Ok, now, my next question it...and I should know the answer......
If the host wants to throw together a quick catty show for Jan. when is the last date the home office will accept it? I thought it use to be by the end of the next month, but also thought that changed.

Nope, it's definitely until the end of the sixth month. I've run into this a couple times and we discussed it here as well last week.

Robyn, unless I'm mistaken the quick catty would have to be dated by the end of January, but you would have until Feb 15 to submit it.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

The dates are included in the fine print at the bottom of the host special flyers.
