Ladies and Gentlemen
I keep telling you
everybody gets the same
(equality) -
219 divided into the whole pot
. A couple of grand for each station,
guaranteed every year.
That’s your licences sorted out Ofcom / PRS / PPL / MCPS
in fact, the Ofcom licence may be cheaper because you wouldn’t need a grants
panel
..
I’m trying work out how long it would have taken to go through all the
applications ? there were 49 stations who were told to go a swivel for
starters. We got 15,000 plus 6,000 so we have possibly got our quota
.. if
we don’t get anymore then so be it (I can handle that) however, I
would much rather prefer two and half grand each year with the two people
who applied for the grant doing something like working with our youngsters
as opposed to spending hours, days, months on a bureacratic process.
Just a thought, that’s all.
OK, point taken, the new stations that come on-board give them a tickle
first, but once we’ve gone round the block pay everyone then the same.
Whether stations have paid staff, volunteers, Joe Bloggs who walks in off
the street is by the by
. the same for everyone. I really don’t see a
problem in this?
It beggars belief that a Bill goes through Parliament talking all about
communities, access for all, equality, opportunities, minorities, people
having a say and we end up some having the door slammed in their faces,
anything but equality, opportunities for some and none for others coz the
rules are different for some groups
.. it’s a nonsense, and yet the end
result for all of us is the same.
Regards
Nick (the voice in the wilderness)

Carol,
I see what you are saying and understand your concern, however i dont agree.
As a sector no community radio stations are alike. With the services they
provide, how they provide them, what other non radio services they provide,
if they are part of a larger organisation or even what community they are
serving. We really should stop trying to compare like for like, learn from
each other, see what others are doing and adapt...
A station might have a paid member of staff from the council (say) and their
job is just to do training and development of the volunteers... they may
have nothing to do with grant applications. Now how and why should it effect
their application because they work there?

Clive I feel I must disagree, paid staff is a factor as to me this shows
weather it's a level playing field for example if a CR station have paid
workers they can spend time completing an application against a CR station
who only have volunteers who have full time jobs and are not able to spend
the same amount of time on an application. I would have thought the aim of
the funding should be to get all CR stations to a standard/level where they
are all the same with resources which in turn would make it easier for the
CMA to promote CR stations special in light of pass debate on the
advertising of the 2011 census.

The CRF Panel made clear about a year ago their priorities were
1 New applicants (i.e. who had not had a grant before)
2 Joint applications on behalf of two or more stations (e.g. sharing a
fund-raiser)
3 Applications from stations that have had a grant before
I don't think how many paid staff they have (or do not have) is a factor.

Clive Glover
