Dear All

 

As it now seems to be ‘’’kicking off’’’ on yet another front 


 (PRS)
could someone (preferably from the CMA) (Jaqui / Bill ??)    enlighten me as
to what was actually negotiated with the PRS 
.. ?
I was on the understand it was a bogged standard rate agreed by all parties.

 

On the bureaucratic front would it not be sensible and easier for all
concerned to simply be invoiced for the ‘agreed’ amount 

 return the
invoice with a signature and a cheque.

 

Has something been agreed or has it not been agreed ??                    or





 was it negotiated with an option left in small print for the Ivory
Towers troop to move the goalposts, as this is how it appears to me.

 

I’m just trying to establish what we are meant to be paying as a none
business, not-for-profit group ?     ( we could be very soon a charity as
well.)          The payments for the PRS are related to music used for our
broadcasting              I think ?????????
so, I ask the question again 
. Has anyone paid above the £700 ?        How
much ?      and Why ?

 

As a fraturnity and brotherhood can we also stop hiding in the trench
waiting for others to fire the bullets and get a bad name for themselves





 ie:-   moi’   !            All I am attempting to do is to fight for a
fair and simple system for everyone so that everyone is charged and pays
their dues according to ability to pay. In fact I could go one further on
this topic and ask why the CMA hasn’t negotiated a special rate for those 16
stations who are already struggling for funding regarding the adverts on air
/ sponsorship debacle as we appear to be getting ‘crapped on’ from all
angles 









. We are not allowed to earn the money but have to fork out
the same as everyone else 




 one rule for one and different rules for
others.

 

Well I ain’t certainly rolling over and dieing 

     I’ll stand up and be
counted. Once it is all put to bed maybe I will be able to join in the
message board comminications on a positive note as opposed to negative angst
all the time 





.. not caused by me by the way.

 

Nick
