Phil n’ all
What are you trying to imply
. As if a sweet and innocent soul like moi’
would pass comment on anything ! LOL
There are a lot of figures on here, in fact way too many for a mere insect
like me
. actually, that’s not true. It is quite easy reading.
Has the overall pot actually come down ?? or am I missing something ?
To be honest, I’m not surprised and it doesn’t come as a shock
. in fact,
nothing comes as a shock anymore
.. summet’ is better than nowt’ though
- half a loaf better than no loaf at all we’ll all just
have to soldier on
. Why ? coz’ it is the right and moral thing to do.
I must say though, I do have a couple of strange observations
..
the people that sat down and made this decision, also sit round the same
table as the ‘Big Society Brigade’ did they reach the
crossroads and one lot turned left whilst the other lot went right ??
the very people, organisations and groups who will be deilvering the ‘Big
Society’ er US LOT don’t appear to be near the
front of the queue
. In fact, I’ll rephrase that, we are at the front
of the queue, but it’s the queue for the soup kitchen !
I have to laugh with the wording
‘everybody seems to be ‘’PLEASED TO
ANNOUNCE’’ ‘ shouldn’t that read everybody is
embarrased to announce !
The e-mail was sent with the civil servant hiding under the desk wearing a
back to front balaclaver
.. signed anon !
Anyway, mustn’t complain, keep smiling and keep doing the good work guys and
gals
. I still think it should be divided up equally though !
£448,000 divided by 219 = £2045.66 er I think ??
two thousand and a bit quid would be a nice guaranteed sum of money each
year. We could pay the parasites and money for nothing brigade and then use
the remaining £45 to buy ice creams for everyone when you have your Daytrip
to Bangor !
LOL again ho ho hee hee
Regards
Nick

Round2
the good news in the Ofcom link - apart from the grants themselves - is
that the Fund will continue for the next three years at a similar level as
currently... yup, sure, peanuts when set against the needs and value of the
sector but its survival must be applauded in the context of all the other
cuts... [cue invective from Nick?]
here's what it says about the future:
* Applications will be invited in April 2011, with a closing date in
May 2011. Dates to be confirmed.
* The Panel will meet to make decisions on these applications on 13
June 2011.
* Ofcom is pleased to confirm that DCMS has stated that the Community
Radio Fund will continue to be funded by the department up to and including
2014/15. In the next round of funding, for the financial year 2011/12, DCMS
has allocated £462,000 to the Fund.
* Funding for the next three financial years is as follows: £448,000
for 2012/13, £436,000 for 2013/14 and £430,000 for 2014/15.
And - if I'm reading the runes correctly - joint bids might be a good way
forward....
Finally - the notes on why some bids didn't get through are pretty clear -
read the form and the guidance!
Good luck,
bests

Ofcom's Community Radio Fund Panel met on Monday 24 January 2011 to
consider applications for the second round of grant awards for
2010/11.
In summary:
- The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) allocated
£463,000 towards the Community Radio Fund for 2010/11
- In the first round of funding in June 2010, the Panel made grants
totalling £208,634,leaving £254,366 for the second round
- A further £2,500 was returned to the fund from a previous grant recipient
- 64 applications were considered
- Funding applications totalled £1,196,138.46
- 15 applicants were awarded grants which totalled £256,866
- 49 applicants were not awarded a grant
The average grant in this round was £17,124; the average grant for
individual station awards, that is excluding the grants benefiting
more than one station, was £14,833. A table setting out the awards may

The Panel notes that two grants, for £30,769 and £30,768 respectively,
were for substantially higher amounts than the average and were
awarded to bids designed to benefit more than one station. The Panel
wishes to record that the first of these grants was for a joint
application that will fund a Project Manager and other support for a
pilot data collection and analysis project. The project aims to
develop an affordable way for UK community radio stations to assess
their audiences and community impacts and provide data for grant
funders, service delivery clients and others. The aim is for a project
that will benefit all community radio stations in the future. The
second of these grants was for a Regional Account Manager /Commercial
Fund Raiser post benefiting three individual community radio stations
in south west England.
