It's not a science it's an art and it needs to be practised.  I would 
expect we'd be doing great by the end of the run.

That should read 'charging a premium for attendees'.  I certainly hope 
we aren't charging instructors.  Though the cost is lower than I 
initially thought, so it's slowly sinking into my mind that it's a 'fair 
price' not a premium.

Have you outlined a schedule of resources?

I've been working under the assumption that the aim of workshops was to 
break even at least, so I agree that they must bear their own costs.
