I have worked on a show management team and I know we never whacked much on top of what the catalogues cost to print as we were trying to keep costs down all round - the thing with the printing is that it is a relatively small print run and they may need to buy a specialised software package (though not 100% sure on this last point) so the costs tend to be higher. Your biggest layout of course is the cost of the venue. I would hate to see what it cost the C&L to hire that show hall! Some leisure centres can charge anywhere from £1,500 to £2,500+ for a day to hold a show then you have the penning on top plus the judges expenses and so on so some clubs may add a bit on the catalogues to try to claw back some money but £7.50 for a catalogue seems hugely expensive - almost on a par with that of The Supreme!!
